I have to say I agree with OP on spin vs. speed. For us non-professionals, having strong spin is much more effective than having speed.
Akbar Bahmani's style reminds me of Nima Alamian. This style is much harder to succeed on professional scene, especially on men's side. On women's side, spin oriented game is still kind of viable (e.g. Bernadette Szocs, Hashimoto and Sato Hitomi), but still difficult to make into top WR40.
But Timo is famous for putting a tremendous amount of spin into the ball isn't it? Like isn't this part of his signature game? He is also an older player which matches my theory that older players played with more spin.
