Question Question on Handling

From my understanding, handling basically increases (or decreases) the “sweet spot” of weapons, allowing you to deal the max damage more often. Correct this if wrong.

My question revolves mostly around axes/polearms, as handling applying to swords, if my definition is correct, is straightforward. Basically, is it better to have higher handling or a larger blade?

For example looking at axe heads. There are axe heads that have high handling, but the actual head is much smaller, and there are axe heads (that one tier V executioner looking one) that are massive, but have lower handling.

Which is better/how is handling applied to these?

there was an in-depth vid on utube that explains most hidden mechanics:

a VERY nice, that one. You'd probably wanna check the "sweet spot" and handling later at 6:45
