The center of the Circle will get you an Excellent Curveball throw, which has the highest XP, but making a great curveball throw will also be beneficial to your gameplay.

Here are the rewards depending on where you hit the target ring:

Basic Curveball throw- 10 XP
Nice Curveball throw - 10 XP
Great Curveball throw - 50 XP
Excellent Curveball Throw - 100XP

So you can see that the more accurate you are, the higher your XP bonus will be.
