It's not really a matter of high or low for me as long as it's piercing. I think if you hit the ball cleanly with any sort of power/compression, you should get a ball flight that shoots out. Numerically, I think you can quantify it with your ball velocity versus your swing speed. High or low doesn't really matter. You can easily control that or you can change your equipment to do it for you. The quality of the strike to cause it to fly out fast is what makes something a quality strike for me.

Personal pet peeve is it irks me a little when I mishit a shot and my 7 iron flies 150 to the front of the green instead of 170 to the back and someone goes "nice shot". I mean you can see from how slow the thing flies that it was a crappy shot and the only thing that saved me was my irons being forgiving. (Part of why I finally switched away from using blades)
