Stick curling involves delivering a curling rock using a delivery stick from a standing position. It eliminates the need to crouch and slide.
Here's a breakdown of how to stick curl:
- Positioning: Stand at the hack, facing the target (house). Ensure your stance is stable and comfortable.
- Grip the Stick: Place the delivery stick on the handle of the curling rock. Maintain a firm and controlled grip.
- Delivery: As you walk along the line of delivery, extend your arm and release the rock using the delivery stick.
- Weight Control: Weight control is crucial for accuracy. This involves judging the appropriate force required to deliver the rock to the desired location. (The video mentions weight control will be discussed further.)
Stick curling allows individuals with mobility issues or those who prefer a less physically demanding delivery method to participate in the sport.
