USGA Releases New Stimpmeter
The USGA is proud to announce a newly released Stimpmeter® designed with greater flexibility and added convenience for testing green speed. On one side of the updated, double-sided Stimpmeter is the standard ball-release notch, or full-length run, for putting greens that have an adequate level surface to measure green speed. This method should be used where possible. For putting surfaces where large level areas are not available, the reverse side of the Stimpmeter features a notch that produces half the ball roll distance. Thus, only half the test area is needed to obtain an accurate measurement.
