Maximizing Distance (with a Driver)
- We want the attack angle to be flat, ideally slightly positive.
- We want the launch angle to be around 10 degrees
- We want the spin rate in the low 2,000’s
Smash Factor
- The definition? Smash Factor = Ball Speed / Club Speed
- Example: 1.50 Smash Factor = 150 mph ball speed / 100 mph club speed
- If your club is travelling straight at the ball, you hit the ball with a square clubface, and you hit the ball in the exact center of the clubface, you will have a strong Smash Factor
- “Missing the sweet spot by a half inch will have a huge impact on your ball speed and distance”
