New Firmness meter

The USGA has collaborated with with Spectrum Technologies to develop a firmness meter called TruFirm.

TruFirm being used at a US Open








The TruFirm measures the firmness of greens, bunker sand, fairways, and other playing surfaces. 
The purpose of this tool is similar to a stimpemter, to give golf course superintendents another tool to help them maintain a certain range of consistency day to day and green to green. Will it catch on and be used like a stimpmeter, are you going to hear golfers say "Our greens are 10 pounds", I guess time will tell???
