Greater hip mobility allows for a deeper, more stable slide position, which is essential for accuracy and consistent delivery speed.

How often should I stretch for curling?

Perform dynamic mobility work before every game or practice, and dedicate 2-3 sessions per week to static stretching to improve long-term range of motion.
