Our Techno Curling Delivery Stick
Mission Statement:
To improve the performance and satisfaction of stick curlers with this innovative and uniquely designed product.
Our technological development of a new curling delivery stick (standing) increases the competition and pleasure of this wonderful sport.
The universal joint and stud connect the stick to a connector which slides on the stone handle. Several contact points of the connector ensure a firm and solid grip of the handle.
The techno curling stick is designed to push from the inside front of the handle to provide extremely accurate delivery.
The stick is lightweight, cylindrical, extendable and has an appropriate grip handle. The player, according to his/her height will adjust the ideal length of the delivery stick from the ground to the chin.
The stone can be brought back to its departure point with the stick. The rotation of the stick provides the degree of the turn by staying in the delivery axis of all rotations. The delivery of the stone can be stopped at any time with a 360 degree turning capability.
There are different ways to deliver a curling stone with a delivery stick. As it is the result that counts, one method rather than another may be preferred. We tested the techno curling stick successfully using the following method.
Gripper on both feet.
Both feet are centered just in front of the starting blocks. (In accordance with the regulations of curling, the stone must touch the centre line). The stone is in the centre of the body and properly aligned in the delivery axis. The elbow and wrist are folded. (The arm is not an extension of the stick).
The handle of the stone should be at about 11h or 13h.
The end of the handle is in the centre of the body at belt height. The hand is at a distance from the body proportional to desired speed. Focus on the target and the required speed. Forward at a speed to maintain perfect alignment of the axis. Let go of the stone at 12h just before it reaches the hog line, in a calculated push to the target.
In a traditional delivery, the view angle is closer. Standing, we can take a landmark on the first hog line and push the stone on it and then be on target for accurate delivery. The image of a perfect alignment picked up by the eyes and transmitted to the brain allows the triggering of a delivery without uncertainty and doubt of its accuracy.
