There is no arguing on this point really..... just have a look at the definition of COR and it answers itself! On a perfect hit, a high COR driver should go further and that is all there is to it!
That said, as mentioned, a strike which is not perfect will not adhere to these rules

I bought a titleist 983k H.Cr and have subsequently bought a non H.Cr version with the same specs..... the H.Cr puts a rake more spin on the ball and I couldnt stop the ball ballooning as compared to the same (but non H.Cr) which doesnt..... so in the end of the day, the non H.Cr goes further for me......
