Don't chase ultra-low driver spin

The instructor warns against chasing the lowest possible driver spin. Tour players don't want spin too low; their preferred window is roughly 2500-2600 rpm, and even a heel miss that climbs to 3000 doesn't concern them. What they avoid is a ~1900 rpm knuckleball, which loses stability, can wander off line, and keeps sailing offline, especially dangerous when you have high clubhead speed.
