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.
