The sweet spot is actually the balance point of a golf club. So as you can probably understand, the sweet spot is only the size of a pinhead.
The goal of companies Is to make more of the face act like the center of the face. That has been deemed the modern day sweet spot.
Some people think toe weighting is for slice golfers and such, but in reality, the hosel brings the balance point closer to it. Toe weighting allows the sweet spot to be brought out back to the centre of the face. I would say most "real" sweet spots are much closer to the hosel than many people think. Especially on forged blades.
Edit: we did an experiment where we found the balance point, marked it with a golf club, shafted the club then hit the golf ball on that spot and compared it to the shot struck in the center of the face. The feel was much more "pure" if I remember correctly.
