Le fait de lancer une pierre qui produit l'effet désiré et s'immobilise à l'endroit indiqué par le skip; pierre qui, une fois immobilisée après un lancer, se retrouve exactement où elle doit être, compte tenu de la demande du skip, de la stratégie de l'équipe, et de la séquence de lancers à venir dans la manche en cours. 2, record 1, French, - lancer%20parfait

Un lancer parfait peut n'être pas spectaculaire; il lui suffit de répondre à l'attente du moment. Ainsi en est-il d'un «excellent lancer», bien qu'on accole également à cette expression le sens d'avoir réussi quelque chose de bien même si l'effet obtenu est différent de l'effet espéré. 2, record 1, French, - lancer%20parfait
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
emplacement parfait : L'expression n'est liée qu'à la position qu'occupe la pierre immobilisée sur la piste, les trois autres expressions signifiant à la fois la trajectoire suivie et le mouvement antérieur pour atteindre la position finale. 2, record 1, French, - lancer%20parfait
