What is a "bomb"?
A bomb is a long, powerful pass or hit in a ball game, typically made over a great distance down the field. It is often used to quickly advance the ball or set up a scoring opportunity by sending it far ahead to a teammate or toward the goal. In sports like football or soccer, a bomb can catch the opposing team off guard, making it a valuable tactic to create an open play or break through their defense. The pass or hit requires strength, accuracy, and good timing.
