To all my fellow curlers out there, whats your opinion on lifting the rock when ya throw? I'm 16 btw and play Lead (and on occasion second)

@ratherBEaREDNECK No replys?

well it's old fashioned but in the end everyone has to find their own delivery, their own style of playing. I don't do it, but thats cause we don't learn it her in switzerland anymore. but after all it's up to u and if ur able to lift the rock.

I think it's unnecessary u dont need to lift the rock to get big weight.

in the end do as you like it. only making the shot matters!! and ur skip will be happy if u place you draws an guards with or wihout lifting

@charat9 , I agree. Curling is also a sport of feeling. You « build » your own delivery, the one you're feeling good with..!

Probably the two most amazing final stones I've ever seen, considering the context.
