I have 2 drivers I use.

One is the Tour Edge Hot Launch2 with 13.5 degree fixed loft, and offset face. The other a Tour Edge Exotics XCG7 which is adjustable with a 9.5 degree loft.

I have noticed that with the adjustable, my optimum setting is 11 degree Upright (this is of course dynamic loft). In practice, 7 out of 10 hits are more or less dead center.

On the offset driver, the hits are predominately heel biased, and I have to take careful alignment at address to obtain centered hits as well as guard against a hook, that is,  at address I have to align up with the toe  in order to obtain a more centered hit. This is sometimes not always that consistent. 

Realizing there are many factors, path, face angle, AOA, shaft flex e.t.c.  Is there any thing pointing to why the higher lofted club tends to be heel biased?

FWIW, I like both drivers and alternate according to the "feel of the day".

It might be more to do with the offset. 

I do not see loft effecting toe-to-heel strike patterns.

That makes sense also.
