Catalan term or phrase: llançament de maluc
This is an odd one. Talkijng about different types of shots you can use to score in handball. Anyone out there a professional handball players?


Segons la situació i la tècnica que es faci servir, es pot fer un llançament amb suspensió, de maluc, rectificant, picat o amb vaselina.

Depending on the situation and the technique used, you can do a hang shot, trick shot, bouncing shot or arching shot.

English translation:hip/side shot
Explanation:
"hip shot" and "side shot" were my first thoughts. They're used, but I'm not 100% sure they are the best solution. I'll see what else I can find. For "suspensió" I'd go with "jump shot" rather than "hang shot".

Here's the official glossary for London 2012, which has "hip shot": http://www.lexique-jo.org/2012/disciplines1.cfm?lang=anglais...

Some sources use "underarm shot": http://activities.eurohandball.com/download/?reason=ehfcanFi...

However, "hip shot" seems to be more frequent.
