The point I was making is that guys like Tiger have different constraints and requirements than we do.  Lets say Tiger can swing a driver 130mph but can only control up to 125 mph. Obviously a longer driver that swings faster is a bad idea. Lets say you  on the other hand can control a 110mph driver but can only swing 95 mph. A longer driver makes sense then. There is a reason why the average driver length on the LPGA is longer (45.5) than the PGA (44.5). Similiarly you can't compare today to 30 years ago. Jack might have used a 43" inch driver but it was also made out of steel. That shaft has nothing in common with todays graphite ones.

Will you hit shorter, higher lofted clubs more accurately? Sure but you have to figure out if the tradeoff in distance is worth it.  You could tee off with a 7 iron if all you cared about was accuracy.
