In hitting, taking it to end will result in less force. If you go to end, you are preparing for longitudinal acceleration. In hitting you need radial acceleration. A hitter that goes to end will encourage clubhead throwaway. I've really increased my distance by shortening my stroke. I know... it sounds ridiculous, but it works.

Homer said, "take it back as short as posible, until you start losing distance."
