Why is hitting a draw good?

Don’t agree that the ball will go the same distance if hit properly fade or draw. Just watch tennis players when the hit top spin draw shots, the balls flight is much faster and the ball comes off the ground much faster. When the ball is hit with cut the spin is the opposite way and the ball floats over the net. Snooker is the best example, hit it with top spin, with the same pressure, and the ball will go much further than striking the ball with side or bottom. It all depends on the spin on the ball, it will throw it further or slow it down faster....its the law of gouf.
