For the past 6 months I have been thinking about cutting 1" off my driver shaft, but haven't done it yet. Recently I started just gripping down 1" on the shift. The results are about as one might expect. There is as slight negative effect of distance but accuracy is improved.

Now I am wondering if its even worth shortening the shaft, or if choking down is good enough. I might get a little more centripetal acceleration of the club head if I actually cut the shaft, but I'm not sure.
