@CurlingClass I have a few more tips that I've learned in the last year that may also prove very helpful with the tips you've provided in this video. Please let me know your thoughts and your opinion(s) on these too- whether they are good tips or if you have some thoughts to strengthen these points : 1.) I've learned that if you are the inside sweeper (down-side / closer to the stone sweeper) you should keep your broom close to the ice so you can start sweeping immediately when it's needed. I see a lot of curlers hold their broom up by their waist/stomach area with both hands and they lose precious seconds when the skip suddenly yells "line" or "straight." The broom doesn't necessarily have to be right in front of the stone, but a few inches above the ice and to the side of the stone's path so if a sudden sweep is necessary, sweepers can jump on it. UPDATE: You did cover this, but it was really quick and easy to miss. It's at 4:40 in your video. Perhaps maybe good to emphasize to continue to keep that broom low to the ice so when additional sweeping is necessary, they are ready. 2.) I learned another great tip in the last few months that if a sweeper is sweeping, it's a good idea to look up every 3 - 5 seconds (ideally 3) or so to see if the skip is giving new directions or to see where you are at relative to where you think the stone will end up. I see lots of sweepers just heads down and won't look up to see where they are at and end up over-sweeping or miss some vital information to help make a great shot. In this video you talked about the outside (open-positioned / high-side) sweeper being the one to communicate the weight with the skip, but I've heard it's nice when both sweepers will look up every 3 seconds. Let me know your thoughts on those things. I wanted to share it and contribute to the video. Thanks for this content and putting together this video! Good Curling!
I hear the town of Mount Royal wants to demolish the curling club and replace it with a recreational centre a curling club that has been around for 70 years I curl in Brownsburg-Chatham Quebec north of Montréal as a fellow curler this breaks my heart to see a city having no respect for the history of this club and what it brings to the community I urge my fellow curlers to pass the word and to sign the petition 💪
Great idea but please be aware of where you are in terms of the camera when you’re making this video. It’s so useful for us simple minded beginners, to see where your broom is touching the ice and so forth.
Just checked the average view time for this video and it's pretty high so it could be a caching issue or something else on your end as it appears to play for most others, but if somebody else has a problem please let me know!

Good Curling!
Great review! Currently due to COVID we have been down to one Sweeper only so double duty and learning!
Thanks!

What is meant by high and low side?

Anyone else having a problem viewing this? I get to about a minute in and it gets no further. Seems like an issue with the upload.

@@CurlingClass V odd. I copied and pasted the URL and it worked perfectly in a browser instead of in the app.
Also not working in my app. Tried it 5 different times and on 2 different days. I'll try in my browser.
Also not working for me in my app!
I’m fine on my end video played well
