- Ever get tired of yelling back and forth between the skip and the thrower? Why not use hand signals to communicate!
What do the different weights look like? Watch this video • Learn To Curl - Tip #1...

Having the thrower repeat the weight call is a great idea. My team just started doing this after a verbal back-board vs back-four debacle a couple of weeks ago.
Great advice including the repeat of info by the thrower.
Very, very helpful Jamie! Great video!
This info is good to know for me as a fan ... observing a team's execution keeps me on the edge of my seat, mostly, because every shot matters.
Great instructional videos. For this instruction, it would be good to explain the difference between the last 4 take out weights. A quick description of control, normal, firm and peel would be helpful (although probably most people understand the what peel weight is.
Good idea!
Control (normally 10.5 seconds between the 2 hog lines)
Normal - 9.5 seconds
Firm - 8.5 seconds
Peel - 7.5 seconds
That what my team does... every team is going to be different depending on the skills and limitations of the players.
I talk about it a bit in the video about what different hit weights looks like. th-cam.com/video/AqTLKlGemZ0/w-d-xo.html
Great Stuff, Jamie! One of the clearest explanations I've seen in a long time. Request for another time - a video showing a given shot at all the different weights? Lots of curlers, especially new ones, learn from seeing how fast the rock is moving and how the other rocks react to being hit. I know it's not perfect, but maybe it helps more than "Board weight is when the rock stops at the boards" - Thoughts?
good idea!
Thanks for the info!!! (Great job at Nationals btw!!)
Jamie, as a more rookie to curling can you do a video on weights? I hear it a great deal about normal vs control vs firm. just lost on the verbage. appreciate the videos...
definitely! i will start working on that one! thank!
New curler (and skip) here. How do you signal that you want a guard?
Another great video! It's also pretty cool that you wear a cross necklace in your videos! Best of luck this fall/winter.
ThankS Brandon!
You're very welcome Jamie!

Hey Jamie, my curling team has gained a lot of success due to some of your videos! Thank you so much! But we have a question in regards to equipment. How often should broom pads be changed?
The normal brush heads last quite a long time. Some recreational curlers could get away with using one for the whole season… especially since you can clean them and use them again.
The WCF approved covers from this year don’t last as long. The material isn’t as durable so we end up changing those quite a bit more often. Depends what the budget can afford! Some of the top team, their front ends will change them every game.
Thank you so much! Is there a brush company you prefer over others? Things to look out for when getting new brushes?
I highly recommend Hardline Curling! All of their products are top of the line!
How would these signals vary if the skip was wheelchair-bound? I'm our team's #3 - and the skip is in a wheelchair (a little more work for me as I'm sweeping in place of the skip, but the amount is negligible).
and signals for draw weights as well? T-line etc
SuperSocco wouldn't that be determined when the skip shows you where they want the stone?
the hand signals are only important to know the weight of a take out, all other weights are shown by the broom
I guess I was thinking about a T-line weight or back-12 tap-back, for example
yes good question! When we are tapping a rock or playing a split we don't really have a hand signal for t-line or back line.... i normally just yell that down or run my broom along the t-line or back-line to show what i want.
thanks Jamie! at the Brier I saw Howard hold his broom up horizontally with both hands wide on the broom to signify T-line so I was curious how many skips would do this.
Jamie- I am trying to tidy up our team's pregame-practice/DSC routine....any advise?
Biggest thing is to map out the ice. Whats the ice to draw to the button, whats the ice for a corner guard and how much do hits curl? After that you need to focus on winning the last stone draw to get the hammer. Really break down that draw path with rocks and with sweeping. The person throwing the LSD should have at least 3 practice draws with sweepers judging the stone.
@@CurlUpWithJamie Thank you so much for the tips! Headed to Club Nationals next week and want to keep those LSD's down!!
