Convert speed and distance using consistent units
Convert mph and m/s, or yards and meters, and compare ball speed with club speed. The ratio describes the entered pair of measurements; it is not a distance prediction.
When to use this tool
- Convert 150 yards into meters.
- Calculate smash factor from two speeds.
From input to a checked result
- 1
Enter a ball or club speed in either unit.
- 2
Read the paired converted value.
- 3
Use measurements from the same shot for the ratio.
- 4
Enter distance in yards or meters.
- 5
Copy the result and keep the original measured precision.
Yards to meters
- Input
- 150 yd
- Result
- 137.16 m.
The exact conversion factor is 0.9144.
Speeds from one shot
- Input
- Ball 150 mph; club 100 mph
- Result
- 67.06 m/s and 44.70 m/s; smash factor 1.50.
Displayed speeds are rounded, while the ratio uses the stored mph fields.
How it works
Multiply mph by 0.44704 for m/s and yards by 0.9144 for meters; divide for the reverse direction. Smash factor is ball speed / club speed, using matching units.
Limitations
- Conversions do not model carry, wind or roll.
- A missing or zero club speed leaves the ratio unavailable.
- Input range is 0–1,000,000; displayed precision is rounded.
- Converting a rounded value back may not recover the original measurement exactly.

Frequently asked questions
Is smash factor itself a speed?
No. It is a unitless ratio.
Can I compare two different shots?
The arithmetic works, but the resulting ratio does not describe either shot's impact.
Does 1.50 guarantee a certain distance?
No. Launch, spin, conditions and other factors also affect flight.
