Pre-configured practices

Abstract

This page provides an overview of the various pre-configured practice modes available in the Chronocurl app. Each practice is designed to help users measure, analyze, and improve different aspects of curling delivery, including speed, split times, consistency, and technique. The built-in practices cover a wide range of scenarios, from basic speed measurement to advanced multi-instrument setups, supporting both individual and team training needs.

Base

Base Practice

Description Instrument Information Displayed
Measures the speed of the stone at the near hog line and estimates a backline to hog line split time. First hog line Calculated back line to hog line split

Hog-Hog 2 Chronocurls

Hog to hog with two Chronocurls

Description Instrument Information Displayed
Measures the hog to hog split time (stopwatch split time). - First hog line
- Second hog line
Measured hog to hog split time

Hog-Hog 1 Chronocurl

Hog to hog with one Chronocurl
Figure 3: Hog to hog with one Chronocurl

Description Instrument Information Displayed
Uses one Chronocurl to measure the speed at the first hog line, and estimates the hog to hog split time from it. First hog line Measures speed at first hog line and estimates hog to hog split time

Delta 2
