What is the thought process behind the micro guides?

The concept of micro guides casting further seems unrealistic to me. A smaller guide would probably cause for more friction with the line which would seemingly slow down the line as it exits the reel. Also, to all people that use micro guides, what would be your thoughts on the T-Wing system?

I agree. I have 2 rods with micro guides, and using the same reel, line,and  casting weight can tell no distance in casting distance. I can see where they do reduce weight a bit tho. And the argument if them keeping the line from slapping around the guides makes me wonder what kind of coiled up, kinked up line would do that on a casting reel lol. I think it's just another phase of the fishing industry and wonder in a few years if the trend will go back to traditional guides because "they're bigger and create less friction than Micros"

Also have a Tatula, and as far as the t-wing I could take it or leave it. I understand the concept of it reducing the angle of the line coming off the spool but still think it's kinda funny, we want the big, wide t-wing, but then funnel it through a dozen micro guides.
