Le tir revers est normalement exécuté lors d'un virage alors que la rondelle est déjà sur le revers. La main inférieure est plus ou moins abaissée sur le manche du bâton, [...] le bâton est placé derrière la rondelle grâce à une rotation du tronc vers l'arrière. Le maximum de poids est transféré au bâton en fléchissant le tronc au-dessus de la rondelle tout en fléchissant le genou de la jambe avant. 1, record 2, French, - tir%20revers
