Pick a landing spot short of the pin. Hi Mark The smash factor has a direct link with the distance covered on the course and the swing and ball speed of the golfer. However, theres another way to get more distance that most people, even tour players, dont even know about (and how easy it is to do) or realize is possible swing speed training. You can see this in 2017-2019 Arccos data published by MyGolfSpy in 2020 that shows the difference in driving distance by handicap group. This helps relax the mind and body. They blade it out of the bunker and are looking at a double bogey as their reality. There is an ideal launch angle with every club in the bag to maximize distance. //
