Based on a personal Trackman experience, I saw spin rate variances cause approx 15-20 feet extra distance.  I think the numbers were 2000 avg and 3500 high rpm.

And that is backwards from the Trackman page on Spin Rate for Golf.  They say higher spin rates are bad for golf balls.  I'm not sure I understand that.

I think it has to do with the aerodynamic properties of a golf ball.  High spin rates are desirable on short shots so you can "stick" the ball on the green.  You see the pros put so much spin on the ball, they can back it up.
