Hip-to-hip pass
Also known as Leg Drag Pass — the canonical term used on this site.
Names the hip-to-hip connection of the drag
Hip-to-hip pass is a descriptive name for the leg drag pass — naming the hip-to-hip contact the passer establishes once the leg is dragged across.
Etymology. “Hip to hip” describes the chest-and-hip connection the passer drives onto the opponent after the drag; “pass” attaches the objective. The label foregrounds the finishing connection rather than the drag that precedes it.
Mechanics. Once the leg is dragged across, the passer pins hip to hip, transferring weight onto the dragged-side hip to eliminate the space the opponent needs to recover; with the gap closed and weight committed, the drag converts into the pass.
Cross-reference. “Leg pull pass” is a sibling alias. Full mechanical coverage on Leg Drag Pass.
