Had an interesting convo about this whole at ust this weekend, suffice to say we will agree to disagree.
As ams, we give ourselves way too much credit to the repeatability of our swings, fact is we have bigger things to worry about than an inch or inch and a half. I used to think the same way, then I had my eyes opened by people in the industry way smarter than I am.
I know for fact my swing is anything but solidly repeatable especially as the club gets longer. I'll hit a 7i more consistently than a 4i and that more consistently than 3wood. A couple things contribute to this fact for me practice with said club and the fact that the errors are magnified as the club get longer, a degree off line at 35in is less than a degree off at 38 or 42.
Swing repeatability is the key to maximizing distance consistently and controlling where the ball flies.
Choking down works but unless there is a dot or other marker on the grip will never be the same, also most ams grip too high on the club anyway trying to get all the length they can.
