I've certainly found over the last number of years that the women's game is more enjoyable as it more closely resembles the game that I play at the club level. The men's teams have taken the hitting game to such a level that their strategy bears little resemblance to anything I'd play - they need to guard against shots that nobody would ever attempt, let alone make and they can bail out of ends that would be disastrous for normal teams.
I don't hate watching the men's game as the talent level is crazy high, but it's a very different game.
