you can throw basketballs, pool balls, etc... weak short or strong far...

I also was surprised to learn about the in game use of "take" key not known fully earlier... press-hold for 2 seconds it to grab hold on to grab-able stuff. To move stuff then quick press again to drop place. Works well with practice for the balls & other stuff. Also learned even later about amazing useful ability to throw what being held by pressing holster key. Quick press for weak throw. Longer press for stronger farther throw. But it quickly becomes way too much so practice press-hold-release around 1-2 secs max ;-) For practicing basket ball throws to basketball nets. Pool balls too. Amazing variety of possibilities to play around with in Fallout 4 !! 😲👍

You can use the grab ability to drag things (like engines or tires) into the area of a settlement as well, then you can scrap them.

this is an old trick that works in other bethesda titles. in particular is is great for stealing items. pick item up drag it over somewhere where you aren't visible to others enter sneak mode to see if you are undetected if so then steal the item by adding it to inventory.

it's particularly useful when a skill book in some of their games is owned and you don't want to cause a scene. i.e stealing an explosives book from the boomers in FNV.

And if the object is too heavy to drag, you can push it with another dragged object (eg a rifle used as a stick).

And you can walk up vertical walls backwards by dragging an object.

In Skyrim they find out anyway and send hired thugs for you (even if the owner is already dead by the time you steal the item)

And apparently in Fallout 4 (at least in some locations), they see you even if they shouldn't be able to. You can be Hidden, with no one around, and yet still turn the people hostile when you steal something.

That is reported (usually in relation to Bunker Hill) but I don't believe it's correct.

I've had it happen, both in Bunker Hill and Drumlin Diner. Hidden, but still somehow detected when stealing. Its most likely just a bug.
