I am returning and reporting. After our team got blanked 8-0 (hey, maybe we should start touching the granite after letting go of the handle), the general consensus of better players is that no way does a split second touching of the granite after letting go help with trajectory. It's just implausible that people of that level wouldn't trust their throw and immediately try to alter the stone by a finger touch. But our local curling club isn't populated by olympic athletes,so maybe we are all missing something.
Anyways, it's a rule, it has now been highlighted, so it's absolutely fair game to enforce it."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Yeah, seems to be a letter of the laws of curling issue, not a laws of physics issue.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostComment

Seems like a quick finger drag would slow down spin if you worried you overspun the rock.

Man, that Elana Meyers Taylor story got to me last night. The bobsledding woman with the two deaf kids.

From my experience (take it with a grain assault), there's only a couple of speeds that curlers typically spin the rock. If you're trying to take out another rock, you will use a faster spin to keep the rock going straight. But for everything else, you use a more or less standard spin. It's the speed of the throw that dictates most of the lateral movement of the rock. That and the direction of the curl, more so than the speed of the rotation.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostSeems like a quick finger drag would slow down spin if you worried you overspun the rock.
Could there be an experienced curler that is making a split second decision right after letting go of the handle and trying to modify the spin? Maybe, but I think it's very unlikely. The elite players are precise; they've made their decisions before letting go of the rock. It seems folly to try to correct anything after letting go.
There's some really interesting physics debates of curling, a lot of it still up in the air:

The United States hockey team really really needs to beat up those Bedard hating Canadian effers.
Seriously, the United States should grant Bedard US citizenship and let him take it out on Canada in the olympics for decades to come.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Couldn't help noticing after she won and everyone celebrating in parkas, there was one of her kids running around barefoot. lolGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
