iStimp fails the test

The iStimp is an entertaining iPhone application.  However, it frequently does not provide comparable readings to industry standards such as the Pelzmeter and the Speedmeter. In addition, the time involved for golfers to measure green speeds would result in considerable and unacceptable delays in pace of play. Based upon this preliminary information, PACE Turf does not recommend the use of this device for evaluating green speed.

For more information on the evaluation of the iStimp, refer to the report and video below:
