So many people like these very fast rods that seem to becoming the norm. I find no great advantage using them. As for distance I can get the same distance with a medium action as I can a fast action, somewhere around 85 feet. Far more than what I consider a real fishing distance. I can do the same with old glass rods like Conlons that i fished for years.
I find little to no advantage in wind as if the wind is too much I have better things to do. In the wind it is technique that is required.
Distance is determined by line speed, i.e. energy transmitted to the line with a cast and imparted by a rod. If a rod can develop the energy to throw a line 85 feet it makes no difference the action of the rod, only that it can produce the necessary energy.
.So why do you think these really fast and stiff rods are so great?
