Pretty good idea. Yup.

i have an idea what they are on good shots
For your example a high cap “using a simulator and making 10 swings” why not count all 10 shots to learn the average carry distance?Higher handicap golfers have to take out a lot of "noise" when they do carry distances. IOW, if you do a session on a simulator you have to remove the fat and thin shots from group you hit with each club which can mean you have to hit more balls than a low handicap golfer. You may have to hit 10 balls and pick the best 5 shots rather than take the best 5 out of 6 shots. So I may hit 10 shots with each club and take an average of the 5 best shots for my carry distances. I'm not trying to kill the ball, just making good solid swings for my stock shot.
From perfect conditions, one can make adjustments for wind, slope, etc. And on the courses I play it's better to be a little short than long, unless you end up in the bunker, but the real nasty stuff is behind the greens.
Not answering for ITR, but in my case I'm not going to deliberately try to chunk one way short so why include those in my my average. By the same token I don't include the nuked pulls that go further either because I'm not trying to do that on the course. She said as much when suggesting high cappers need to eliminate the 'noise' caused by thin mishits too. I want to know what the average carry is of my half way decent normal shots. Those represent what I'm hoping to do on the course.For your example a high cap “using a simulator and making 10 swings” why not count all 10 shots to learn the average carry distance?
If a player is using only his better/best shots to figure carry distances his ball will inevitably be short of the green . Remember that when asked the number one fault they see from amateurs, Tour pros reply “they don’t take enough club for the shot at hand” .
