. I've always found that so strange..strike is important to me. It's extremely challenging to find certain dates/mm with good strikes so IMO it should be a factor in grade. I guess it's good news for cherry pickers that it isn't a factor though.
It is a part of the grade just a minor part. It's not going to make a 62 be graded higher than a 65 or vice versa. Where you will see the difference is in the market. If you have two ms 65s where all else is equal besides the stoke the better strike will sell for more and sometimes significantly more especially if it's a date/mm known for weak strikes.
