Looks like that 60-62 number is bogus, maybe only for the top drivers of the ball.
Simply put, Smash Factor is Ball Speed divided by Clubhead speed. Due to manufacturing restrictions, it is difficult to get a smash of over 1.50 on a driver shot, these shots usually come from the toe area of the sweet spot (I can confirm this, speaking from experience). Spieth & Johnson's numbers w/ the driver divide out to a near 1.50 smash each
