"Sweeping a rock" decreases the friction, which makes the stone travel a straighter path (with less curl) and a longer distance. The path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms or brushes, who accompany it as it slides down the sheet and sweep the ice in front of the stone.
