That distance ratio is specifically because Tiger demands a ball that spins like crazy at the expense of distance. Tiger really doesn't care at all about losing a little distance off the tee. He cares way more about being able to stop the ball on the green.
I look at balls the same way. With any ball you give me I'm probably going to out-drive 99% of golfers on distance. I don't really care about that....I just want a ball that I can stop on the green.
