skyed
Kicked too high
Skyed is the past tense of sky, meaning to hit or kick something high into the air.
In sports like golf, cricket, or soccer, a skyed shot goes nearly straight up rather than forward: He skyed the ball over the crossbar.
The word suggests a mishit or poorly controlled stroke that sends the ball too high to be useful.
