is that true?
I heard becuase of placement and where that ball sits.

Its kinda technical really,

An actual Short Shifter is longer below the pivot point which when shifting gears it will make it shorter going from one gear to the other. If you take it off the top it maybe be a little less of a throw but not near as effect. So instead of reducing your throw, 40% you may reduce it 20%.. Hope this made at least a little sense..

(Im not 100% sure about the figures, If anyone has actually experimented with this and has a more solid number, please post them)
