I'm not saying 1400 is low

I just have seen so many posts by people wanting to know how to hit 2000 a day, and I thought 2000 was about average.  I do 2000-3000 a day, depending on how hard I feel like hitting that day, and I thought everybody was like me.  And I credit it to my shortcuts.  But after seeing these posts, the only thing I can figure is that people just aren't maximizing their shortcut programs.
