Miss?
Can anyone help me with the best way to say "miss" in the sentence:
He frequently missed the ball.? Does it sound better to say "No la agarraba con frecuencia" o cual seria el mejor verbo para "miss" que puedo usar sin contruir la frase negativamente. Gracias. Marsopa

I think you can say:
No daba con la pelota muy a menudo.

Also you can say. Frecuentemente pierdo la pelota. I frequently missed the boll.

Rusty,
I think your sentence means "miss" in the sense of not hit the ball (right), like a batter. Maybe Crotalito's option would work. Thank you both, Marsopa

If you're not talking about a batter hitting (or missing) the ball, are you using the figurative meaning?

For sports and games, you can also say "casi siempre/con frecuencia/a veces se le iba/se le escapaba la pelota".
