standing throw (of a shock or volley shot)


Explanation:
My Vienna handball-juniors son - coincidentally back from a handball match after I had posted my first stab - confirmed Cilian's unposted translation, so I'm repostingl with lip service paid to the schlagartig*

Textbook explanation:

'Variationen im Anlauf, bei der Wurfrichtung, Abwurfhöhe (über kopfhoch, hopfhoch und hüfthoch > 'shooting from the hip'), in der Spielposition und mit Stemmschritt (volley shot):

So wird's gemacht:

Du läufst schräg zum Ziel und im Laufen (on the volley) wird der Ball gefangen.
Während des Fangens führst den Ball mit beiden Händen nach hinten.
...........
*Schlagartig wird der Ball nach vorn geworfen.....'

Ich trainiere Handball. Barth/Nowak, Meyer & Meyer Verlag, Aachen in Germany 2008, pp. 98 + 99


Example sentence(s):
  • Usually the volley in handball surprises the opponent; it startles him.

neutral  Axel Dittmer: Are you sure your example sentence is from a book about “Handball“ as in “Team Handball“? The only (kind of) Volley I know in Team Handball is “Der Kempa Trick“

  -> I have the (set-reading) textbook in question right in front of me: http://www.amazon.de/Ich-trainiere-Handball-Katrin-Barth/dp/... - alas, neither any index, nor EN translations, so the 'volley' is my own interpretation.
