underthrowing
Falling short throwing
Underthrowing is throwing something—usually a ball—short of the intended target.
A quarterback underthrowing a receiver forces the receiver to slow down or come back for the pass, often leading to interceptions: He's been underthrowing his deep balls all game.
The opposite of overthrowing.
