How often does the curling stone turn ?
Also called a runback Reading the ice : When a curler considers how the condition of a sheet of ice will influence the path of a thrown stone , similar to how a golfer reads the undulations and texture of a green before determining where and how hard to hit a putt Reverse handle : When a stone is thrown with a particular turn , but it eventually stops and begins to rotate in the opposite direction ; usually the result of a pick or poor ice conditions .
