Smash Factor

We heard the golf pro out on the driving range today giving a lesson to a man who appeared to be intent on hitting the ball very HARD.


We heard a bit about Newtonian physics, the “one guy and fourteen clubs” theory, and the smash factor.

Apparently, the smash factor is all about physics, ratios, compression, club speed, and whether or not you actually manage to hit the ball.

We say HUZZAH and smash away. May that little ball fly far into the sky and in the right direction.

Golf helmet, anyone?
