Usually the teflon shoe is on your dominant foot, and that's the one in front when you slide to make a shot. There's a rubber cover you can put on that shoe if you need the traction, but a lot of people just learn to deal with having a slippery foot all the time. ?

Masha Medvednik (scalene@signs.codes)'s status on Saturday, 14-Jan-2023 11:40:15 JST Masha Medvednik @roadriverrail interesting. I imagine there is a lot of proprioceptive maneuvering, it sort of reminded me of billiards, except it’s also way different lol

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Saturday, 14-Jan-2023 13:45:18 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @scalene The comparison to billiards isn't far off. There's a lot of shot planning and leaving the other side with bad options, similar to snooker. Also like billiards, you do most of the maneuvering in the setup rather than while executing the shot. Mostly, when throwing, you're trying to say straight on your intended line and release with just the right velocity.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Sunday, 15-Jan-2023 07:17:50 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @scalene Just like bowling. Curling is basically what happens when a bunch of Scottish people want to go bowling but it's winter and the bowling green is snowed over. Grab some rocks and go out on the frozen lake instead!
