Definition: A skyball is a mis-hit in which the teed ball contacts the driver (or other club) on its crown or just at the very top of its face as a result of the clubhead slipping underneath the teed ball.
When a skyball occurs, the ball pops way up into the air and travels only a very short distance forward.
See the Skyball Tip Sheet, for a quick checklist of possible causes of this type of shot.
Also Known As: Skying the ball, pop-up, popping it up
