Richard,

I have always considered the terms strike distance and blow distance to
be interchangeable.  (How much difference is there between a strike and
a blow?)  As far a strike weight is concerned, I defer to Ed Foote and
David Stanwood, but the reason it's called that is that it is the amount
of weight (mass, actually) striking the string.  The best way to measure
that is the technique tescribed by Ed and David.
