lofted

Hit high up

Lofted describes something that has been sent high into the air, typically with a graceful arc rather than a flat trajectory.

A lofted golf shot rises steeply, and a lofted pass in soccer curves overhead to reach a teammate.

The term comes from the verb loft, meaning to hit or throw something so it travels upward.

In golf specifically, lofted also describes clubs with angled faces designed to produce high-arcing shots.
