The one-handed jump shot is the usual way of throwing from a distance today. In a one-handed jump shot, only one hand (or an arm) performs the actual throwing movement, while the other hand only holds the ball from the right or left (depending on whether it is left or right-handed) until the time of the throw (or when the ball leaves the hand) and fixed on the throwing hand.

The jump shot is the most important and most frequently used throw in handball. Compared to blow throw the jump shot offers several advantages:
- By jumping upwards (from the "second row"), the opposing defense makes blocking the ball much more difficult.
- For the outside players, a good jump is important in order to gain space for a better throwing angle.
- In the event of a counterattack ( fast counter-attack ) or after breaking through to the throwing circle, the distance between the goal and the thrower is reduced by jumping into the distance. This reduces the time for appropriate countermeasures by the goalkeeper and increases the chances of success for the shooter.
A special variant of the jump shot is the delayed jump shot. Hansi Schmidt is considered to be its inventor. This throw is only executed in the descent of the jump. With Schmidt, however, this throwing variant was the result of a dislocated shoulder.
