phantom, as in I can't phantom it
out of balance, as in he stepped over the line
prowness, as in athletic prowness
field gold, as in football - that three-point kick over the gold post
three throw, as in basketball - that chance to stand at the line and shoot without interference from the other players
athleticism, as in a word I thought some sports announcer made up but, no, it is in the dictionary

It's in the dictionary BECAUSE some sports announcer made it up.
I looked in three dictionaries, one about 15 years old. When I found it there, I thought what you thought, so I looked in one 50+ years old. It was there. Both were Webster's. When I found it in the OED I gave up.
What about escapability?
By the way, the word verification thing made me type in 'farthals.' What do you think about that?
