pase largo / pase fuerte

I have never heard of a hard pass in English or Spanish which is why I suggest the more usual form "pase largo" which would literally be "long pass". If not you could always translate it literally as "pase fuerte" which as I said does not mean anything in particular to me rather than its literal meaning.

I hope that helps

Thanks nicktribe
agree Al Zaid : me quedaría con lo de "fuerte", porque largo podría implicar que sea a larga distancia, pero un pase fuerte puede ser también un pase corto.

Gracias Alberto, tienes razón pero al no encontrar mucho sentido a "hard pass" he pensado que quizás se refierían a un pase largo por ofrecer una alternativa.
