Memory Tip
联想：把手藏在身体下面，暗地里做事，就是“偷偷摸摸的”；体育中手从下往上的动作即“低手的”。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：sports coaching、baseball/softball pitching、volleyball serving 表示体育动作“低手（由肩部以下向前向上挥动）”时，通常出现在运动教学、规则说明或比赛解说中，语气中性、具体。常见搭配如 underhand serve/throw，注意这是对动作方式的客观描述，不带有贬义。
Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes perfectly with /ˈʌndəhænd/, because the main stress of underhand is on the first syllable. They are all useful lookalikes that share the spelling -hand and the final /hænd/ sound, but note that hand and unhand stress the /hænd/ syllable, while beforehand, shorthand, secondhand, and farmhand do not.
