Another good looking driver by Titleist. They are trying to keep up.

My personal take is that there is a bit of both sides here. Spin on the right axis can lead to forgiveness. The ball only spins one way and depending on what that is, will lead to where it goes many times (all things being equal). Low spin consistently (meaning across the face) would give pretty good distance consistency, because less movement is less movement (ball spin).
And thank you for the kind words on the article. I enjoyed writing it.
So essentially if you consistently hit it in the center of the face more often than not, you're going to get consistent distance results.

that makes a lot of sense and definitely helps me understand it better. i think where i've seen low spin hurt people is when they have face-to-path issues.
It can hurt in other ways too. Low launch, too low of spin, etc. It comes down to fitting and contact.
This is either really awesome, or VERY elaborate....and yet I am still intrigued enough to ask Titleist later today about it when I go to TPI for my fitting.

When we put the TS4 head on my shaft the numbers and ball flight were impressive. I found the middle of the TS4 a lot easier and the ball speed was up 3-4 mph over my TS3. The kicker was the club was running a deal where if you ordered from them that day they would give 10% off. So getting 3-4 mph more ball speed and $50 off was a no brainer.
