Well, it seems were are arguing over a difference in terms. There is no doubt in my mind that moving the shift rods to a hole that is closer to the pivot point of the shift lever will shorten the "throw". My Hurst shifter only came with one hole, not adjustment possible.
BTW, I've been shifting manual trans A bodies since 1978, when I got my first car, a Duster with a 3 speed manual on the floor. We thought it would be cool to put a beer tap handle on it that was about 6 inches long. It did look cool, but it also made the amount of travel on the end about a foot between gears.
That is what I was calling "throw", the distance that your hand moves from one gear to the next. Sorry for the confusion.
