Only if shops and fitters offered shorter lengths to try. I choke down on every off the wall driver, but how do you know if you are choking down at the same point each time unless you tape or mark the grip. Which I wouldn't feel comfortable unless the shop approved first.
I actually paid for a fitting with a certified Callaway fitter and he had ZERO shorter lengths to try. Only thing he could offer was a 43.5" 3w shaft which wasn't ideal. I should have just canceled the appt on the spot but the swing tips he gave me were worth the price of admissio.
I'd love to see a shop with half inch shaft increments from 43" up to 45.5" in each club. Downside is it would be cost prohibitive.
Do you have a Callaway Performance Center anywhere near you? They had a large selection of shafts at 44" (I think that was the shortest) when I was fit last time.
I am showing my age here but I remember when 44 was standard lolThe THP Tour Van has shafts in 44, 45 and standard too.

Sadly, most manufacturers do not offer a reasonable method of adding weight to their driver heads. Consequently, a player who wants a 44" driver (instead of the stock 45") , to maintain a reasonably balanced club (swing weight) must either add led tape to the head, or deal with a messy injection of rat glue.

i have never had a driver fitting. I play a x2hot at 9° with a standard aldila tour blue stiff at full length. it really is hit or miss for me to land in the fairway, usually at least 250 yards down play. i do hit my partners driver at least 2 times in a round. His is a titleist 910d2, 12°, "brown" diamana regular flex shaft at an inch and a half shorter than mine. I pound that driver every time! at least as long as the x2hot but always hit the fairway! i swear when the funds allow it i will buy a driver with a short shaft, either a titleist or much sheaper adams xtd. there is something to be said about the setup and control of a shorter shaft
How about just chokes down on the driver? I remember A.K. did it and still hits 300+.
