You might be referring to the 16 yard/15 metre hit, which is a free hit taken by the defense if an attacker plays the ball over the backline, taken in line with where it went out, parallel to the sideline and up to 16 yards/15 metres from the backline. The hit out may also refer to the process of beginning play in a penalty corner, normally called the injection; if the ball is hit into the field, it may be called a hit-out. If pushed, it may be called a push-out. Otherwise, some people refer to the centrepass - the free hit that starts or restarts a game after goals or halftime - as a hit-off. Both of these are usually called by their names; the centrepass or the "16"/"16 yard".
