Strike is king...after you rectify club path to face angle. No matter where you hit on the face, if your face is more than a few degrees divergent from your club path, you're in for a wildly inefficient ball flight. If you get the face angle and path rectified, but you have an angle of attack of more than a degree or two down, you're going to need a freakishly high club speed in order to get solid distance.
Yes, where you hit it on the face matters for maximizing efficiency, but it's the difference between a fairway finder and a legitimate long ball, unless your misses across the face are quite extreme.
True, but if you're already rocking those numbers, and a decent spin axis, you'll get good distance. My statement was more in reference to people who have either wildly inconsistent numbers, or who hit the center but are way off in terms of path to face relationship, such as someone who cuts across the ball.Going to disagree here. If your face to path is different by a lot you don't lose much assuming you can repeat the shot and know what it will do. You only lose like 2-3 yards carry if your face to path is 10 degrees open assuming the other conditions are good. 155 ball speed 15* launch and low 2k spin
