skying
Hitting ball upward
Skying is hitting or kicking a ball high into the air, usually when accuracy was intended: He skied the penalty kick over the crossbar.
In sports like soccer and golf, skying typically implies a mishit—the ball goes up when it should go forward.
In art contexts, skying refers to painting sky portions of a landscape.
