- Place the curling stick on the handle of the stone. Remember here that the curling stick is simply an extension of your arm.
- Keep your delivery arm reasonably straight as you move forward.
- Walk forward at an appropriate speed to deliver the stone with the “speed” (or weight) that the skip has requested – always on the line to the broom.

- Continue walking forward as a follow through, after the stone has left the curling stick.
- For an In-Turn, keep the handle of the stone at 10:00 o’clock until you get four feet from the point where you want to release the stone. Then slowly turn the handle of the stone to 12:00 o’clock over the last four feet.
- For an Out-Turn, keep the handle of the stone at 2:00 o’clock until you get four feet from the point where you want to release the stone. Then slowly turn the handle of the stone to 1:00 o’clock over the last four feet.
