There are guys that have won on the PGA tour like Stan Utley that hit the ball like a 5 handicap
I think "ball striker" is just a vague way to describe a players ability.

IMO there are basically 5 phases
Driving
Long iron
Short iron
Chipping
Putting.

The best "ball strikers" in golf should rank the highest in fairways hit and gir.......which should easily be calculated.

Ball striker to me.....means hitting the sweet spot consistently and the players on tour don't stay around very long if they can't do that.

Ball striker refers more to how pure a player hits his irons, imo.
