I have always used a mid sweet-spot. Then a couple of years ago, I decided to experiment with a high middle, to see if it had any impact on the power generated and to try a lighter pick-up.
Whilst the pick up is lighter, I don't feel I can hit the ball as far, so am looking to go back to a mid middle bat. The search is on....

All about a big low middle

High high middle. As far high as it can be.

Had my best last few season to date switching to high middles. And the ball goes a long why when it's hit.

Mid to high. I think many people would be surprised how high on the bat they actually hit the ball even on a low and slow wicket.

always used low then used the cric tech sheets and found I was hitting the ball way higher than I thought so now use mid middle and feel the difference in pick up and more balls middle.

Completely agree. Always used to go for low middles, as a front foot player, but turns out i hit a lot on the up, now its mid middles all the way for me

At 5ft 6  and a bouncy home track Mid middle left hand opening bat  Style of play strong in defence poor in attack Hooking  and pulling

[Six Sixes Cricket]

Used the crictech sheets as well and found I was hitting low, so low middles for me

I'm abstaining from this vote due to the lack of an inside edge option.

Was using a high throughout preseason on bouncy headingly nets and tried to use it first few games of the season but changed back to middle. I personally think it's more to do with your style of batting more than anything else.

Mid to high .
Opening bat , play on decent bouncing wickets , hit on the up a bit , play off back foot a bit .
Only have to look at my bowling machine bat to know where i hit the ball .
Also , i have no plans on trying to hit yorkers for six  .

prefer a higher middle and validated by scuff sheet showing where on the bat I hit the ball most.

use a heavier bat (say 2lb 13oz) so still plenty of wood in the driving zone.

5ft 8 , open the batting, aim to hit poor short balls so again I feel this points towards selecting a higher middle.

I did score a 50 this season with a Kook Verve which has a lower middle, it was fairly new and most of the hits were higher, the bat itself was a beauty and had a noticeably long middle

this is why I like M&H who have produced higher middle shapes over the years, I have also used a Newbery Kudos this season which according to Newbery has a slightly higher middle

Totally agree and same as my preferred choice exception being used a GM Chrome
This season but found personally the performance is mid profile

I think, as per a very old Crictech sheet thread, many people actually need a slightly higher middle than they think they do.

Maybe it's something to do with a better balance from a slightly higher middle?
