Stuff that will help us Curl better:
The next couple of weeks tips will come from - Curling Steps to Success – Sean M.R. Turriff
Weight Considerations (part of step 6)
The amount of curl directly depends on the amount of weight on a shot. In general, shots with less weight curl more than shots with more weight. At the extreme, a shot with a lot of force on it may not curl at all, whereas a shot with draw weight in the same path may curl several feet. Reading the ice effectively means understanding how much curl a stone will have down a given path with a particular amount of weight. It also means understanding how the curl changes as the weight changes. As games proceed, players and particularly skips and vices will build virtual maps of ice conditions in their minds so they will be able to properly position the initial target on every shot. The huge number of possible slide paths and weight variations is a vast amount of information to keep straight and reading the ice requires good concentration, very good observational skills, a detailed memory and a critical eye.
