Question:
Why do TV commentators say, "The in-turn curls more than the out-turn?"

Answer:
Thank you!

Your question is greatly appreciated and always welcomed.

At Internet Curling Club we are continually working on our site to provide the best service possible to you, the user. As a result we will enter your name in all of the current ICC contests each time you ask so great questions.

We are sorry for the delay of this but we were at the Brier all week. We wanted to make sure we did get the answer from our pro. As usually Ray Turnbull has come through.

The may reason they say that is because of the release. It has nothing to do with Physics or the rotation of the stone. What they mean is that the largest percentage of curlers have a tendency to turn the inturn to much when they throw the stone. So this will lead to the stone being started on the curling path early.

Check out Ray's site it is quite interesting.
