Would it make sense to either collapse this into a float or at least have the y and z components automatically channel referenced to the x component by default.

I don't know that there's been a single time that I've had a different value for each component, and I habitually set up channel references every time I use the node.





Also does anyone know where I can get cheap golf equipment? It's exactly what I hope to find information about on this forum. :roll:

have you try to save your channel reference as permanent default under gear icon?? so whenever you create this node, those channel ref appears as default value.
