Smash Factor

We independently review everything we recommend. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission.

Smash Factor is simply Ball Speed/Club Speed. It is a measure of the efficiency of the strike. A Smash Factor of 1.5 with a driver is considered optimal. A Smash Factor of less than 1.5 often indicates an inefficient, off-center strike.
