Measuring Device
Description
The Kestrel Bocce Measuring Device is not a tape measure. There are no calibrations on the tape. In bocce, bowls and boules we don't need to know the actual distance between the balls that we measure - we just need to know which are closer together and which are farther apart. Use the fixed calipers to measure those oh, so close calls. Measurements are taken from the center of the Pallino to the edge of the Bocce being measured. All other measurements between two balls are taken from the edge of each ball, and measurements between a mark and a ball are taken from the center of the mark to the edge of the ball.

Comments about Paramount Kestrel Bocce Measuring Device:
Measuring device appears well constructed and portable. I would really have appreciated some instructions on use--I assume we are using it correctly, but as nothing was included in the package on how to properly use it, we are hoping for the best!

Comments about Paramount Kestrel Bocce Measuring Device:
I bought this measuring tool for my father for Christmas last year. When he finally had a chance to use it, it didn't really work. There are no numbers on the measuring tape (not that the numbers were necessary but I want you to know that). Also, the tape would not go back into the container. The caliper was tiny, only measures a couple of inches and it didn't stay in the ground. All in all, the device got a lot of laughs. It was a waste of the money I spent on it. Hope this reveiw will save someone else money.

I had to return it for lack of instructions. Most the women on my league are senior citizens and they have to have something explaned to them, maybe if we saw this product used by other teams we would have enjoyed using it. Sorry
