The reason why the throwaway pitch works I think (not sure if this has been explained) is because you can use a fuller swing (more swingspeed)...for more spin.....
....and the compression loss from the throwaway makes it so the ball lands soft on the green. (higher trajectory...less forward momentum when the ball lands)
more spin + higher loft
I like to think of it almost as taking a shaving off the ball.
