The lat drop or lateral drop is a wrestling throw done from the over-under position, that is both grapplers having an underhook and overhook.[1] [2]
Mechanics
The lat drop is a backwards-arching throw, meaning the tori arches backward while throwing the uke overhead. While the setup of the lat drop has many variations, the throw is most commonly initiated by hopping towards the uke in a manner that places the tori's feet beneath the uke's center of gravity.[3] Then while pulling tightly on the overhook and lifting with the underhook, the tori arches backward while torquing their upper body towards the overhook, loading the uke onto their hips. This arching and twisting motion is continued until the uke is planted unto their back and the tori lands in top control.[4]
