HittyHard: It's no relevance to how most of us play the game.
I don't think there is any reason or evidence to believe that "most" players play the game the same way as you, if you are an off-dinger. I find it highly unlikely that most of the lower tier players have mastered the concept and practice of intentionally missing the ding as that's a technique and understanding that comes with practice and experience. My guess would be that there are more players on WGT intentionally trying to ding their shots than otherwise, but that's just my opinion.
As for the Meter Stats, I find them quite interesting when I remember to check them, which isn't very often so far. The actual numbers of dings or early/late clicks don't matter to me so much as the proportion of each. My biggest weakness in this game is late clicking, so I find the stats a useful way to see just how often I do that in a round. If I'm clicking late three or four times as often as I am early, then that highlights my problem.
What to do with this information is another question though....
