I try to think of it the opposite way:

"When i get a good consistent swing and minimize those shots, what will my scoring potential look like"

I agree with this way of thinking completely, it absolutely makes sense. But, there has got to be a direct correlation to scoring and minimizing these types of shots. I understand an excellent putter could save a ton of strokes on the green but I can't imagine a guy who shanks 1/30 shots with great putting is going to shoot consistently in the low 70's range.

Especially considering a shank doesn't usually mean you give up just one stroke, it could be two before you are actually back in a position to finish the hole.
