Aug 25, 2017 · The GoingStick measures both the penetration (the amount of force required to push the tip into the ground) and the shear (the energy needed to pull back to an angle of 45 degrees from the ground).

“The TurfTrax GoingStick is going to be a great way for us to communicate with trainers on this side of the pond exactly what the going is, and we will have the maps to prove it. It’s an analytical way to view it rather than just saying it’s good ground.”
