How about a Zoom game review tonight?
We haven’t done one of these for a few weeks, so I thought we could review one of the games from recent competitions. Let me know if you are available for this evening?

The final 3 winner are the ones who make the most progress in the 4 weeks. The winner of week 8-10 till 14-10 is Lee with 9 hits and 5 carreau.

A change in your team after losing a number of ends
Played 2 games at our club yesterday. In one of the games I had a discussion afterwards about the change in the team after losing a number of ends. The shooter was not successful and wanted to change with me but I felt that I would not be going to shoot well this day. I suggested that I change with the pointer. We did and the result was that we won ends without playing better but still. The shooter indicated afterwards that we should have done it differently. I have the impression that the most important thing is that there is a change in the team because it somehow changes the dynamics in the game. Something magical and inexplicable that has nothing to do with the playing level of the players at that moment. A team change has 75% chance of success, is my experience. In addition, the place of a less playing player at that time can also be replaced by a better player, but that seems to me in principle secondary. If everyone in the team plays at his level but is still losing, then switching is also a valuable option. What is your approach to a change in your team?

I have played in a number of matches where the middle player and shooter have swapped roles temporarily during the game. This has allowed the shooter to point a few boules, helping them settle into the match, focus on their landing spot, and develop a smoother arm action and rhythm. They would still take the occasional shot when required. After a few ends, we switched the players back to their original positions, and without fail the shooter's accuracy and hit rate were better than before the change. In my experience, , what little it is, giving a shooter the opportunity to point for a short period can be an effective way of improving confidence, rhythm.
