lancer

OBS: En curling, le terme technique est le «lancer d'une pierre»; il porte toute la finesse de précision requise pour atteindre la cible désignée avec l'effet nécessaire pour y parvenir. Le terme «coup» est davantage un générique venant de l'expression «réussir un bon coup». Quant à «tir», il est moins approprié vu que le curleur cherche davantage à «placer» sa pierre et qu'à la «propulser» de toutes ses forces.
PHR: Lancer d'une pierre.

CONT: A sound curling delivery requires accomplishment in four technical areas. Alignment, Timing, Balance, and Release. The delivery must be straight, the movements properly coordinated, the body in balance, and the release controlled and consistent. As each skill improves, so does accuracy. In addition to the technical aspects, a sound curling delivery requires a delicate ""feel"" for weight, and sound mental skills.
OBS: The technical term is ""delivery"": it bears all the efficiency needed to position a rock on the intended target. The word ""shot"" is a more common term while ""throw"" and ""stroke"" express more force and vigour, or the action of a rock against another, than the conjugated strength and precision needed to place a rock on the targeted spot.
