Eight Sticks on One Sheet

Every Wednesday morning, I take time off from work and Ms. Eclectic and I curl with a group of retirees at the local curling club. The last few times out, I have noticed that every one of us on one sheet uses a push stick. Not one of us curls by getting down in the hack and pushing off.

I can remember several years ago when several of the curlers were getting down in the hack, but struggled with their balance and their knees and hips. Allowing curlers to use push sticks has extended the time that many of us who are older can enjoy the game for many years.

Let's hear it for push sticks!
