One of my playing partners was told that they should play a high spin ball because they will get more distance, and yet, they have a very slow swing speed.
This seems contrary to what I have read here and elsewhere.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but high spin balls are typically higher compression and would "generally" require higher swing speed to compress the ball and therefore generate more distance.
I'm of the opinion that they would be better off playing a ball with a lower compression that not only feels more comfortable to play, but instills confidence that they can compress the ball for more distance.
I am also a slower swinger and in my own personal testing, I have found that balls with a compression between 70-80 provide the most distance and the feel that I prefer.
Am I missing something?
