This category might have a misleading name. Over the guard passes are about stacking your opponent with their toes over their head rather than some sort of flying situation. When you think of a pass that involves stacking it falls into this category. Although, the result of this style of passing often leads to the other two varieties. The true finish of this passing style is a back take of some sort; however, nobody will fault you if you would like to lump all stack passes in this category.
A good passing system includes all these styles in tandem, and one flows seamlessly from the other. Although terminology for the different passes can be helpful, sometimes it gets in the way of accomplishing the task. Oftentimes we seek a perfect example of a textbook move and while striving for that is positive, it also limits our possibilities. The benefit of showing techniques is that you can demonstrate a tested and verified means of accomplishing a given task. When we look at something like passing though, we see ugly but effective more than the ideal expression of a demonstrated move. It will lead to more success if you seek the ideal for you rather than something prescribed by your coach or the internet. The main goals of passing are to set your distance, establish control over the opposition, work into one of the three passing varieties, and establish a dominant position. In focusing on those things, I believe your passing will dramatically improve.
