KingOfTheCourse: Ever since you told me the distances Jim, i've been using them. I find the two 8's are wrong and there more like 6's, but besides that i've never experienced your problem.
LOL-That is the problem which really isn't a problem. The change turned the 8's into 6's and the other scales have dropped slightly too.
I could see why Harve and DF don't see it because their methods have built in subjectivity. Harve's in the form of his method (just the width of the line alone is hard to gauge when stopping in mid back swing) and DF by virtue of the very forgiving and less accurate Spider. The avatar move method is a little more empirical as there is a distinct spot you can reach every time in the back swing, ensuring an accurate starting point for the swing. That's the only reason I noticed the change in the first place.
@Ziggy-That is what got my attention in the first place and this thread confirms that is wasn't our imagination. :-)
