roc grade one class the shotgun he uses only detachments facilities last Thursday Todays Up Read what one of the top curlers in the country has to say about delivering a rock One of the most frequent questions I m asked Is how do you hold the handle for an in turn or for an out turn There is considerable con troversy on this subject but personally I dont think it makes too much difference provided you hold the handle in such a way that It does not encourage a push delivery In other words the truest and most accurate delivery Is the swing delivery which requires that the rock hang from your fingers during the pendulumWee motion of swinging the rock back and then forward Avoid a tight grip for best results otherwise you will find yourself missing the broom by pushing or turning the handle of the rock as you release it Can anything be more plain or harder to I still do not deliver the rock in the approved manner after many years of trying But then some will never learn Staff Photo The
