Smash Factor & Ball Speed Calculator

Calculate your smash factor from club head speed and ball speed, plus a rough ball-speed-to-carry estimate — from your own launch-monitor numbers only.

Enter the club head speed and ball speed from a simulator or launch-monitor swing. The tool divides ball speed by club head speed to give your smash factor — a measure of how cleanly you struck it — and multiplies ball speed by an editable rule-of-thumb factor for a rough carry estimate. Every number comes from you: smash factor is exact arithmetic and no tour or amateur average is invented.

Real carry depends on launch angle and spin this tool can't see, so treat the distance as a rough estimate, not a measurement, and see a qualified club fitter or instructor before changing gear or swing. Need numbers? Find a simulator near you and compare launch monitors to record your speeds.
