Flat Stimp (Putting)

• Definition
  • The calculation of green’s general speed, based on the average roll deceleration of the individual putt.
  • Flat Stimp is the green speed on the putt disregarding the potential slope of the putt that was hit (taking slope into consideration is measured as Efficient Stimp).
• The Use of Flat Stimp
  • It helps gauge the ball's roll and speed on a standard surface, providing a baseline for how fast the greens are playing.
  • Knowing how fast the greens are playing is critical for controlling the distance.
