Narrow
A stone delivered off the broom too close to the desired target and therefore likely to curl past it.
Negative Ice
A shot in which the player curls the stone in the opposite direction in which the stone is expected to curve due to significant defects in flatness of the ice surface; for example, if the curvature of the ice causes all stones to drift sharply to the right, a skip may request the shooter to aim to the left of the desired location and curve the stone to the left as well.
No Handle
A rock delivered without a turn, usually done in error; stones thrown without a handle often follow an unpredictable path.
