In this Curling Strategy video, Competition Coach Matt Bean discusses one approach to combating a conservative opponent who doesn't have the hammer. There are a few approaches that you can take when an opponent comes into the house with their first shot. In this video, I demonstrate one strategy that could take your opponent by surprise. Whether or not you utilize this strategy of course depends on ice conditions, your team's overall strategy, and which end you're playing in. But if you have not thought of this approach, this will be another useful tool in your bag to whip out when your opponent least expects it!
Matt Bean was Competition Coach trained in Ontario and later Certified as a Competition Coach in Québec. He currently curls out of the Royal Montreal Curling Club in Quebec.
