Play & Strategy

A broad strategy framework for choosing the right shuffleboard tactics based on who is ahead, the hammer, the score, and the board.

Observations on grip, stance, aim, delivery, speed, and follow-through for a more repeatable court shuffleboard shot.

Use shuffleboard math—drift, hammers, points, frames, percentages, and scoring—to make better competitive decisions.

Learn a practical way to determine who is really ahead by counting upcoming hammers instead of looking only at the current score.

A practical guide to determining which color is mathematically ahead in common frame games and 75-point play.

Good shuffleboard is not just making shots—it is choosing the right shot for the score, hammer, court, and exact board position.

Set a clear strategic goal before the frame begins, then choose each shot to move toward that goal instead of simply reacting.

When you are ahead, unnecessary scoring attempts can create avoidable risk. Learn when keeping the board clear is the stronger choice.

Kitchen play is risky, but sometimes it is the necessary path to recovering the mathematical lead and winning the game.
