If it ain't broke, don't fix it. A type specific guide chart, like the Morgan spacing for the progressive Winston/Fisher rods, may or may not suit that rod. Not worth the trouble to find out. IF the rod needed a rebuild, or IFyou just wanted to do it for the heck of it, then it might be fun to experiment with spacings, but more for the observations involved than any significant change.
I'll assume you have inspected all the guides for rough spots. After that, any slap you are observing is probably because of trying to power a too-light line. I think that is a 6 weight. Try a DT 6 or WF 7 and I bet you will see the line come under better control. Let the rod do the work.
