LOB
Corporate revenue segment
A lob is a type of throw that describes the trajectory of the object being thrown: a lob is high and arcing.
If you lob something, you throw it in this way.
The noun lob is also used to characterize a similar trajectory in sports: The batter hit a lob over the center fielder’s head.
A lob in tennis is a stroke that sends the ball high and deep into the opponent’s side of the court.
