Can someone please explain to me hog to hog timing and what are the ideal numbers?
I’m having a really difficult time researching this and even asking the experienced players at my club.
For example, I’m looking to fill in these blanks but I’m confused with the different variabilities happening
Examples:
Time [A] is ideal hog to hog for a zone 2 guard on normal ice. If it is [up or below by ] then the ice is [slow or fast by ]
Time [B] is ideal hog to hog for a t line draw on normal ice. If it is [up or below by ] then the ice is [slow or fast by ]
Time [C] is ideal hog to hog for hack weight on normal ice. If it is [up or below by ] then the ice is [slow or fast by ]
But what confuses me by these A, B, C numbers is the individual thrower themself. Let’s say the person is not fully consistent.
- If the call was a t-line draw
- and then the result was light
- but the hog to hog number was say faster than expected
Then how much of this can I attribute to the individual thrower? Or to the ice changing?
Thats why I’m still preferring the back line to hog line weight just to see if the thrower is too fast or too slow and I can see where the rock ends up and then they can adjust accordingly
But I know this is what more novice intermediates teams do but I’m confused
how the more advanced teams interpret these hog to hog numbers
