To deliver a rock with the needed twist for it to glide around a guard and position itself at the back of it.

OBS

The verb "draw" (in French "exécuter un placement") here means to deliver a rock in such a way that it comes to lay on a precise spot on the play, actually around a guard, without touching another rock, nor putting out an opponent's rock on its way.

OBS

guard (noun): A rock positioned between the hog line and the house, often to protect another rock behind, and that blocks the path of a rock to deliver.

French
