Stick range

Checks that each stick reaches its edge in all eight directions.

What it measures

How far each stick reaches from the centre in eight directions as you roll it around its edge.

How to run it

Slowly roll each stick around its edge once, left stick first, then the right.

What the result means

• Pass

  Both sticks reach their edge in every direction.

• Warn

  A stick falls a little short in at least one direction. A game may not register a full push.

• Fail

  A stick falls well short in at least one direction.

• Skipped

  A direction was not visited. Roll the stick all the way around its edge.
