You usually throw a lob pass when trying to send a ball to a far-away receiver. Its arching trajectory is ideal for lofting it over defenders and dropping it softly to the receiver’s hands downfield. It’s especially valuable on streak routes, posts, and other vertical concepts where your target has already created separation or is about to break open.

Because the ball hangs longer, it gives receivers an edge when in open space. It also gives defenders extra time to react, so timing and placement are key. Mastering the lob pass is essential for pulling off high-reward plays. However, this technique can be a bit risky. Receivers can struggle if they are contested due to how the ball floats towards them. This is why you need to time it right and consider if you really need to do it or go for another approach.
