heavyball

Heavyball is a term that can refer to several different concepts, often related to sports or games involving a ball. In the context of baseball, a heavyball refers to a pitch that is thrown with significant velocity and has little to no movement, making it appear to come in a straight line. This type of pitch relies on sheer speed to overwhelm the batter. Pitchers who throw a heavyball are often characterized by their strong arms and consistent velocity.

Another usage of heavyball can be found in some variations of billiards or pool. In this context, it might describe a shot where a heavier than usual ball is used, or a shot requiring a substantial amount of force to execute. The specific rules and terminology can vary depending on the particular game or league.

In a more general sense, "heavyball" could be used colloquially to describe any situation or object that is characterized by its weight or intensity, particularly in a sporting or competitive setting. For example, someone might describe a particularly powerful kick in soccer as a "heavyball" kick. The precise meaning is usually clarified by the context in which the term is used.
