Instructor Martin Chuck of Revolution Golf shows how off center strikes with the driver drastically reduces your ball speed and total distance. A centered strike creates a higher smash factor, better ball speed, and more distance off the tee.

That swing looked pretty slow to be over 100mph club head speed
I can't seem to find any discussions about smash factor for iron strikes. Does anyone know if the ideal still 1.5 for irons?
Good explanation to the importance of center hits.
Form I’m to hit one center face then in heel is pretty talented??? great example and teaching tip
Something doesn't add up. You said 1 mph in ball speed equals 2 yards of distance. So the first drive had a ball speed of 154 mpg, and distance of 270. The second swing showed ball speed of 133 and distance of only 142. A loss of 21 mpg in ball speed should have shortened the drive by 42 yards, making it around 228, not 142. I'm assuming that was a mistake on the Trackman. There is no way that second drive only went 142 yards.
sooooo the tip is hit the center of the club??
'Smash factor'? is this a term for centre hit?
does ballspeed ONLY depend on where i made contact or is there another notable influence like say spinloft?
Dear Martin, when starting the backswing with the Driver, for a high handicap (20+) should we be looking to take the club back and away from us, to give us more chance of the downswing coming inside out and hit those draws? Thanks a lot for all of your videos they definitely provide food for thought.
After seeing this great tip I went and got some foot powder spray and headed to the range. Wow. I never realized just how off-center I've been hitting the ball. Is it any wonder that my driving is so inconsistent? Any tips to correct heel hits?
