Misconception or truth?

I stumbled upon this interesting article regarding polyester strings while reading Tennis.com.

TENNIS.com: Most research I've read shows the ball is on the strings for only about five milliseconds. A traditional theory was that string texture could somehow help produce spin by "gripping" the ball, but your study says less friction helps impart spin. Why?

Rod Cross: Less friction between strings allows the main strings to move sideways. As the ball is about to leave the strings, the main strings snap back and give the ball a sideways kick, thereby increasing the rate at which the ball spins as it comes off the strings.
 

So, textured strings is designed to reduce friction between strings and not to increase 'bite' on the ball? What's your take?

Pro Supex Blue Gear Ultra Spin

Pro Supex Blue Gear Ultra Spin

Blue Gear Ultra Spin - Blue Gear is back with a twist! 

Introducing the new addition to the Blue Gear family from Pro Supex! Pro Supex has taken all the criticism and replied with the latest incarnation of the Blue Gear, the BG Ultra Spin. It has unmatchable tension maintenance like Big Ace, but also has added grooves with a twist in the string which helps impart UNBELIEVABLE spin on the ball. Unlike other textured strings with n-flat sides, Blue Gear has six channels thus making the cross section look like a gear. Ball fuzz catches in these channels imparting crazy amounts of spin on the ball. The tension maintenance is also unmatchable and rivals other overpriced polys on the market. Pro Supex‘s polyester strings are also rated very highly.  Therefore, you can be assured that one of the top authorities in the string industry concurs with its performance.

Pro Supex Big Ace Red

Big Ace from Pro Supex is the best performance string for tournament players. The durability is incredible, control is at the highest level possible, and power is phenomenal. We found Big Ace to produce a lot of spin, without the loss of feel. There is almost no tension loss. We recommend you drop your tension 3-5 pounds than normal synthetic strings. Our testers said that, “Big Ace feels softer than Luxilon, but the durability is better.” Manufacturer achieved this by adding special additives. The 16 gauge is for the tournament player that breaks strings often and is looking for a durable string without the loss of power or control. This string is currently one of the best selling strings in Europe, South America and Australia. Big Ace is made in Germany.
