Green speed is a critical factor in putting, and understanding how to measure it can dramatically improve your speed control and break reading. The stimp measurement is a mathematical way to determine green speed, whether at your home course or a new one. It’s all about friction—less friction means faster greens, so putts take longer to reach the hole. More friction means slower greens, requiring a firmer stroke and less time to get there.
In this video, Mark and Jamie from AimPoint University break down how to measure stimp, giving you a simple way to check green speed before you play. By understanding stimp, you'll be able to make better putting decisions, adjust your stroke, and gain more confidence on the greens.
Watch now and take your putting game to the next level.
