waggles and other rituals

Maybe this is frivolous, but I wonder about it anyway. I see a lot of people waggle the club as part of their pre-shot routine. I do maybe one little waggle, to release any tension in my hands. Then I do something else: I like to do a couple of takeaways, up to horizontal or beyond, then lower the club back down to address position. Somehow doing this gives me a feel for the swing path. My golf partner says it looks like I'm "threatening" the ball.

Is there anything to recommend one waggle (etc) routine over another, apart from the importance of doing the same thing every time?
