    I have a question for you. I've just started to learn how to curl last year. My delivery is quite low to the ice and as a result it is difficult to keep a proper grip on the handle. Especially the outturn. My hand almost tends to be underneath the handle. As a result my accuracy tends to be a little off. any advice?

    Hi Jamie,
    left lots of comments on various videos. question here, it looks like you are looking up(and many people when sliding to play a stone out of hack), is this where i should be aiming or should i be aiming at the invisible hog line mark that i want to hit?
    (i generally make a line from the skip mark to me and where it cross the hogg line i aim for) or is this a bad habbit.
    And firmness, i dunno if i should grip that hard, as im a climber and my strength is much higher than most, maybe just comfortable that it doesnt move?
    Thanks,
    Evan

    Jamie, I'm not sure if one of your videos covers this but when do you know when to release the stone? When I'm playing I will typically try to release before the hog line, but I hear there are different strategies such as releasing earlier (just right after the house) if you are setting up a high-guard (zone 1 - 2). Thoughts or comments on this?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  3 года назад +1

      Im actually going to be talking about this in an upcoming video but my biggest recomendation is to always release at the same spot. No matter the shot. This makes your skips job calling line so much easier.

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  10 месяцев назад +1

      Sorry about that. I would say for typical curling club ice you should be between 3 or 4 rotations. But you might notice that at the higher level (if you watch curling on TV) some teams are starting to aim for about 6 rotations!

  • @andrewwillis7145
    @andrewwillis7145 6 лет назад +1

    How many rotations should we be looking for if we are throwing a draw to the button? I've been told 3-4, but I've seen everything from 1 to 10 (aside from a spinner, that is).

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  6 лет назад

      I would say 3.5 is good on curling club ice. When you get to playing on an arena on championship ice then it curls more so having a bit more rotation is better (maybe 4-4.5). You definitely should never have less than 3... the rock will be unpredictable, go sideways and slow down faster.

    • @jaipex
      @jaipex 5 лет назад

      Just trying to clarify for myself here: if the stone tends to curl more on championship ice so you increase the rotation.. then that means the more rotations the straighter it will go? I always thought the rotation would make it curl, not go straight? Could you please elaborate? Thanks!

    Jamie, thank you kindly for the tips. I just got into this at my old age of 69, out of shape and have a bad left knee. Being that as it may, do you have any tips on stick curling? I just moved to Midland, MI which there is a community curling centre and I just got involved. Your tips and explanations really helped. I was suggested to use the stick. So I was just wondering with the stick do I walk out with the rock in the in turn or out turn position then release it in the noon position or does one walk out in the 12 o clock position then turn the rock to the desired turn? Also, does one give an extra push prior to release? In other words, do you have any tips for us seniors or handicapped that use a stick. Pace of walk? Etc.

  • @petewalls6767
    @petewalls6767 6 лет назад

    Hopefully this will help in my out turns where I think I'm pulling the stone "tight" or even inside the brush? Would that be the cause of pulling the stone inside?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  5 лет назад

      That could be the cause, yes. Make sure that you are letting go of the rock at the 12 noon position and that you don't go past that. Going past it could result in you "starting" the rock (which means making it curl early, or being tight to the broom)

    When you release, are you adding a little push to the rock or are you just gently letting go?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  5 лет назад +1

      Most people add a little i would say. Having a little bend in your elbow allows you to control the weight and if you don't kick out hard enough then you have room to add some speed with you extension

    Hi Jamie
    When the pro curlers release they tend to give a little nudge before letting it go ...by doing so doesn't it screw up their line and rock timing ?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  8 лет назад

      So thats called an extension. The Pros are so consistent that this extension is done on the same line of delivery. And as long as they extend the same way every time and extend the same amount as their team mates... then its no problem with reference to the rock timing.

  • @johnhawkinson813
    @johnhawkinson813 3 года назад

    I'm a new curler. My teammates are telling me to keep my arm extended through the slide and delivery. Your #8 tip shows your arm bent and extending with a rotation of the wrist for either the in turn or out turn. Thoughts?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  3 года назад

      Im a big fan of sliding out with a slight elbow bend... that way if you need to make an adjustment, you have the room to simply extend your arm slightly. You also have more feel and control over the rock that way.

    • @hughthomson4674
      @hughthomson4674 9 месяцев назад

      I think opinions/experience/advice changes. I think 30 years ago when I was a kid I was told to keep arm straight but now it is more commonly taught to keep arm as Jamie has it. I have adjusted my delivery over the decades slightly and I think Jamie is correct and it's easier to adjust weight and to get good positive release with sufficient rotation with a sight bend in arm.

  • @bgm-1961
    @bgm-1961 7 лет назад

    Hmmm... as a spectator only, I always thought that curlers had the ability to control the amount of curl (arc) through their release. But you're pointing out that every release should be the same. So that means that given identical ice conditions, every curl will (or should) exhibit the exact same arc? No matter the tactical situation of the game?

    • @sambrown7673
      @sambrown7673 7 лет назад +5

      Correct. In general, more rotation will cause the rock to travel a little further and "dig in" less. Meaning, if anything a slightly straighter rock. In curling though, this is too hard to account for and isn't worth the inconsistencies. It's more valuable to take that variable out of the equation and release the same every time. Adjusting for curling then comes down to weight of the shot and sweeping.

  • @alexkorotkov8446
    @alexkorotkov8446 8 лет назад

    hey Jamie, thanks for videos. Is it always at 10 and 2? if you take it further to 9 and 3 will it rotate more? Alternatively if I have a take out straight down center line would you keep it just at 12?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  8 лет назад +2

      I would keep it at 10 and 2... any more and you risk starting or dumping the rock. And this applies to every shot no matter where it is reference the center line. You always want to be consistent with your release.

    What is a draw shot?

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  Год назад

      There are 2 basic shots in Curling. A draw and a takeout. A draw is a shot where the stone comes to a stop in the rings. A takeout removes another stone from the rings by hitting it.
      Hope that helps!

    • @bgm-1961
      @bgm-1961 7 лет назад

      So there's no such thing as a straight push, for when there's no need for the rock to curl (around an obstacle)? I thought the whole point of this sport which differentiates it from other "shuffleboard" type sports is the ability to curl in behind an obstacle, but only when *desired*. Otherwise I just assumed that doing a straight push is a good option when there's not an obstacle in the way.
      Thanks!

    • @sambrown7673
      @sambrown7673 7 лет назад +1

      It's too difficult to try to throw a rock straight. It will almost always pick up some rotation eventually on the way down which makes it hard to predict. So EVERY shot is purposely thrown with rotation and curl.

    • @CurlUpWithJamie
      @CurlUpWithJamie  8 лет назад

      Dan Toolsie I don't recommend giving it a hand push because that will throw off your line. Practice kicking out with more weight and having a slight extension. In the mean time, giving yourself more ice to make the shot is perfectly fine!
