Strike poorly, as a tennis ball

Usage examples of mishit.

Harry, pelting toward McLaggen just as McLaggen took a ferocious swipe at the Bludger and mishit it.

The unlovely opponent had dribbled one just barely over the too-low public-park net, a freak accident, a mishit drop-shot, and another man on another court in another early-round laugher would have let it dribble, conceded the affordable, not tried to wave a hankie from the vessel of his limit.
