For everyone else in this thread: Almost all answers here in this thread are going to be based on prior experience with balls, which have usually been foam balls or inflatable balls. These do not necessarily apply to these balls! Do your own testing to see what spin does to these balls, as it is definitely not exactly the same as 2016 for example.
That makes it clearer as to what he meant. I understand now.
