[@vincentchan1173]

WOW!!! Finally. A well explained tutorial about angles and turns. THANK YOU!!!

I am loving the no fingers, no knees appliqués on the ice at Royal Montréal!

[@StevenMalatesta]

Excellent work - thanks!

Hey Matt! Thanks for your video. It would be awesome if you made a video to describe positive ice vs negative ice. I’ve heard it used in my curling games and think it would help newer curlers. Thanks!!!

[@CurlingClass]

Hi Trevor. Are you referring to a concave vs convex sheet of ice? So for example a skip may give “negative” ice to hit a stone on the wings.

[@trevorduersch2278]

@@CurlingClass I want to say more concave type of ice. I currently play on a league where we play on arena ice (Utah Olympic Oval). We don’t have any dedicated ice clubs or anything close by.

Is it like a tactical line

[@jvbilodeau]

Thank you!!!! great great great video... although I have to say, the slow-mo walk-away makes me lol :)

[@CurlingClass]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hey, I’m not here to just educate, but also to entertain :)

[@jvbilodeau]

@@CurlingClass Also, I think it might be helpful to have the over-top camera angle. I know thats probably logistically challenging... but it would definitely take your vids up a notch. Maybe Curling Canada could sponsor the effort and you could use their production team?

[@robert3238]

Using an in-turn or out-turn for the stone, does that also change the out come for the hit?

[@CurlingClass]

Yea it can.

how did red on sheet 1 score a ten-ender in the 6th end?

[@CurlingClass]

One of the stones broke into 3 equal pieces. Just kidding :) We use that last rung for blanked ends.

[@KTLP7912]

@@CurlingClass ah that makes sense. Most clubs in Winnipeg have a dedicated peg on the left for blank ends

why does he not line up to the CENTER of the back rock?
