ball throwing
Lobbing round objects
Ball throwing is the act of propelling a ball through the air with the hand, a fundamental human movement in sports, games, and play.
The term covers everything from a child tossing a ball to a dog to a pitcher's fastball.
Throwing technique varies by sport—overhand for baseball, underhand for softball, chest passes in basketball.
