lofted shot
Airborne over obstacle
A lofted shot is a ball struck to travel in a high arc, typically in golf or cricket.
In golf, lofted shots clear obstacles or land softly on greens.
In cricket, a batsman plays a lofted shot to send the ball over fielders: He played a lofted shot over mid-on for six.
The trajectory sacrifices distance for height and control.
