Account for strike location before changing driver spin

The instructor says gear effect is violently sensitive to hit location on a driver: moving impact from high toe to low heel with everything else held the same can swing spin by roughly 1,500 to 2,000 rpm without any change in face angle. He applies that to a thin strike, where expected spin around 3,500 rpm can come in lower once strike location is accounted for.
