Curling Strategy

From club play to competitive decisions

By Mary Deuhs

Strategy becomes easier to follow when you understand what each team is trying to accomplish. Curling Strategy explores the decisions that shape an end in clear, approachable language.

It is a useful next step for club curlers, developing competitors, and fans who want to see more than where the stones finish.

Sweep: “So the rock isn’t the whole story?”

Granite: “It is where the plan becomes visible.”
