underhanding
Acting through deception
Underhanding is throwing or tossing something with an underhand motion—palm up, arm swinging forward from below: She was underhanding softballs to the kids.
The word appears most often in casual sports contexts where a gentle, arcing throw is needed rather than an overhand pitch.
