Your stroke should be built around impact conditions...little else. As simplistic as that sounds no two impacts will be identical. Also sounds as though the bulk of your time is spent on mechanics, as opposed to practicing golf shots. Short game? Ball striking is perhaps the longest road to golfing nirvana. I am not suggesting that you not work on improving your pattern, but rather if you are lamenting higher scores there are other ways (that I think are easier to implement) to lower scores.

1. Play from the appropriate tees
2. Hit the club off the tee that you can hit 70% of the fairways with
3. practice your short game
4. shot selection, course management

My goal for my swing is to tighten my shot dispersion (and eliminate one side of the course!) not hit it pure 24/7. Never met a good player that was not a grinder!
