Ball flight or just kinesthetics

Does anyone consider the path and motion of the ball in their esthetic judgements of strokes? or is it purely the kinesthetic?

This is in the pro player section because I am asking in reference to pro players' strokes, and whether they are beautiful or not.

both. if we mention greatest strokes we are all posting videos of crazy angles and shot. A shank with a great swing doesn't look gracefull (unless it is federer).

many guys are great swingers but few are great hitters.

I have seen in some examples, a player who has somewhat odd looking strokes winning me over because the path of the ball is compelling, with the right combination of pace and spin. Has anyone else had this feeling as well?
