Part of the reason, according to Tom Wishon, that many drivers have better results higher up on the face is that many/most are still designed with bulge and roll in the face (a curved surface). This results in the upper part of the face producing a higher launch angle, which when combined with the fact that most folks are not using enough loft on the driver, tends to produce better trajectory and distance than a 'center' face contact.
