Larger shot size will kinda make up for not having a more restricted choke.

As noyes mentioned, you can always use larger shot to compensate. But, before you switch, remember: a 1-1/8 oz load of #9 Skeet shot has about 658 individual pellets compared to a #7-1/2 trap load with 393. That's 265 (or 67%) more pellets. I'll go to larger shot (8 or 8-1/2) for the second shot in the all-doubles event or to buck the wind on really breezy days.
I don't understand this. If he uses larger shot, there will be fewer of them, which will make his open pattern problem worse, not better.
