I can't speak for theirs in particular or its spin, but one thing to keep in mind is that with most (and I'm having a hard time imagining designs that might cause spin on the ball, the spin will be the same direction and the same amount with every shot - that being the case, it's no more or less accurate than any other shooter as long as the driver is used to it or the code knows where it has to be to hit.

And that thing is gorgeous, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing in action at Lone Star.
