How it's used
Refers specifically to a pass that stays on the grass rather than being lofted through the air. It is the standard term used by fans and players in Hong Kong when discussing tactical play or criticizing a player for sending too many high balls. Using this term shows familiarity with local football terminology compared to more generic descriptions.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with high passes or crosses, which are often referred to as 高波. Beginners sometimes mistakenly use it for any pass, but it strictly implies the ball does not leave the ground.
