Perhaps also relevant for your other video to not give up big ends, but basically play shots that give you acceptable outcomes on both sides if the actual shot is missed. Another thing to add, and this is kinda specific to the situation, but imagine you're sitting shot rock on the center line and the opponent just hit and rolled out from your second shot. Put up a tight guard. Your opponent now has a choice to make, do they try to go after your shot rock to take it out? Try to freeze to force the 1? If they make it perfectly, you'll probably be forced to that 1, but if they don't, you'll be left with either the draw for 2, or if they miss and don't stick around in the house, a split for 3. Then, play shots that give your opponent a more difficult to shot to go for. To get big ends, you need your opponent to miss shots, and the harder you make it, the more likely that happens. Are they not accurate on hits? Give them a reasonable double attempt to miss on! Very accurate on the hits? Throw up guards for them to crash into! You've given the most important advice already though, which is to keep rocks in play. You can't score with rocks that fly through the house.
One tip I would say is don't be afraid to take those risky shots in the early ends! If you have a tougher shot that can score you four or five, or an easy shot for one, maybe take the tougher shot! Higher risk, higher reward.
Can you do a vocab video? Like a video that goes over what it means to have "A rock in the top four" or "Open House"? I haven't heard these terms before!
