sweetspot

Ideal contact point

The sweet spot is the optimal point where effectiveness is greatest.

Originally from sports—the area on a bat, racket, or club face that produces the best hit: She caught it right on the sweet spot.

Extended to any ideal combination of factors: The price hits the sweet spot between affordable and premium.
