lob pass
Arcing overhead delivery
A lob pass is a high, arcing throw or kick intended to sail over defenders and reach a teammate.
Common in basketball and soccer, where it exploits gaps in defensive coverage: She threw a perfect lob pass over the defender's head.
The trajectory trades speed for elevation, giving the receiver time to position for the catch.
