Back to the topic. Yes, the spin does have issues, but not so much for being catchable or not. If you watch a QBs throw down the sideline more than say 20 yards, you will notice the ball move either towards the sideline or towards the field depending on whether it is the left or right side of the field and whether it is a left or right handed thrower. The rotational spin causes the ball to move sort of like a baseball does when thrown. I have seen it move what looks like a foot or more on longer throws. The spin will also help it stay on track better in crosse winds, depending on what direction they are coming from. However, a tight spiral seems to have as much or even more to do with keeping it on track in wind.
