Curling broom is used to sweep the ice surface in front of thethrown rock in order to clear debris and help the rock maintain maximumspeed.
Curlers also use brooms to help identify the exact target for their teammate who is about to throw the rock.
High-end brooms are primarily made of carbon fibre, allowing for faster sweeping.

Rock

Handle of the rock is bolted to the stone.
When the rock is thrown with the right hand, clockwise rotationis called an "in-turn", while counter-clockwise rotation is referred toas an "out-turn".
