The Irrelevant Broom Hold

Hello. In curling, the rock thrower is supposed to aim at a broom the skip holds in the house. Then the thrower slides out towards the broom and lets go.
This is a great theory. In my case, however, where the broom is held is irrelevant.
Why? Because I'm lucky to hit the broom. I'm terrible, and not afraid to admit it.
What's amazing to see when watching curling on TV is how the broom hold can be irrelevant for them as well. Quebec reminds me so much of the teams I play on by missing the target. And this is a very talented team.
Why do our teams hold the broom then when we play? For us it's really ceremonial.
In some ways it's an advantage. There was a contest last year to throw the rock to the button for $25,000. No broom holding was allowed. We thought that gave us an advantage.
If you're a curler, try to make the broom hold relevant.
