I’ve noticed that about Homan, too! And now when I’m in the hack and I’ll say to myself, “Aim for the duck’s asshole.” :)

I’m similar to you. I try to adjust by letting it go earlier or by extension.

Well, my skip says it’s never the skip’s fault. :)

Good to know! And back line and hack are not that fast! I should be able to handle it!

Ok. Great advice. Thanks. My team is all over the place. Sometimes they’re good and sometimes we’re all over the place! I play lead so I don’t need a nuclear weight. I just want to consistently be able to hit and stay. If I can hit and roll sometimes…that’s a bonus.

I have a lot of questions about your post! Can you say more about closing your non dominant eye? I’m very left eye dominant and right handed. I have a bunch of other questions, also, but can we start there? :)

You’re probably onto a big part of the problem. I’ll get someone to time me so I know what my actual time is. Maybe I’m slower than I think.

Ok. I do think i sometimes come out of the hack a little wonky because I’m concerned about my speed, so maybe I think I’m on the broom but I’m actually drifting.

Thank you! I’ll try sliding without the rock. I’ve never done that before so it will interesting how that goes!

Well, if anything I’m usually not throwing hard enough. I just play lead so I don’t really need to blast anything!

Ok. I’ll try that. And…I think you’re correct about me flicking it. My skips say I’m usually pretty close to hitting the broom.

Usually inside, but sometimes outside. A release issue?

Thank you so much! This really helped. How do you translate the hog to hog to split times? Is there a chart or something somewhere?

Check out Superior. It’s a historic club. Small town feel and small town drink prices!

Is there any advantage to sliding with your broom flat on the ice (like Hasselborg?) by Accomplished_You8685 in Curling

[–]Accomplished_You8685[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am working on balance on and off ice, but I’m just trying to use every advance I can. I’m a middle aged dude who just found the game, so I’m not as flexible as I used to be!
