How the GTX 5 Works

The Physics Behind the GTX 5

The GTX 5 head puts a turn on your throw by pushing offset from the center of the stone. You can adjust the offset using the thumb screw at the back of the head.

3 Factors that Influence Stone Rotation

  • 1. Angle Between the Stick and Stone Handle

    A larger angle between the stick and the stone will increase the number of rotations. A good starting point is around 75°.

  • 2. Angle Between Stick and Ice

    Closer the stick is to the ice, the more rotation you will get.

  • 3. Thumb screw position

    Maximum rotation is achieved by unscrewing the screw completely.
