Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Lancer rapide vers le filet exécuté tout en maintenant la lame du bâton en contact avec la glace, la puissance du tir provenant d'un brusque dévissement du revers qui pousse le bâton vers l'avant plutôt que du recours à l'élan arrière suivi du balayage de la rondelle happée par la lame du bâton. 6, record 1, French, - lancer%20du%20poignet
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La rondelle est lancée vers le but par un fouetté vigoureux des poignets. 5, record 1, French, - lancer%20du%20poignet
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Il est préférable d'utiliser «lancer ou tir du poignet» puisqu'un seul poignet se dévisse rapidement, soit celui de la main dont le dos fait face à la direction du mouvement, l'autre poignet ne faisant qu'accompagner le mouvement. 6, record 1, French, - lancer%20du%20poignet
