Mark, I have a stick force meter manufactured by Brooklyn Tool and Machinery Co. Inc., New York, NY. The unit is all mechanical, reads in half-pound increments on a dial gauge to max 50 pounds and has a peak reading hold feature. I could bring the meter to the '09 Gathering so we could see who really has the smooth light touch on the KR controls during those 6g pull-outs.
