Oct 3, 2020 at 23:35 comment added BoldBen @SAdam I don't have a more general term apart from 'terrible shot' which applies even more generally. I don't think there is a term for shots that go badly wide in the way that skying the ball goes badly high.
Oct 3, 2020 at 13:06 comment added David It is not always necessary to provide a source, and it is especially difficult for the contemporary spoken word. My own impression is that “sky” and “skyer” are both somewhat old-fashioned — rather “Roy of the Rovers”.
Oct 3, 2020 at 10:35 comment added David With all due respect, I got there first.
Oct 2, 2020 at 21:59 comment added Adam @BoldBen - That’s true. Do you happen to have a more general word that applies to all situations?
Oct 2, 2020 at 21:57 comment added BoldBen @SAdam That's a really good answer but only applies to shots that are too high. You seemed also to be interested in shots that went wide but not high, "skying' the ball would not apply to that.
