Favoured soft leg drive shot, taking single (10)
I believe the answer is:
privileged
'favoured' is the definition.
('privilege' can be a synonym of 'favour')
'soft leg drive shot taking single' is the wordplay.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'shot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'taking' is an insertion indicator.
'single' becomes 'i' (one).
'p'+'leg'+'drive'='plegdrive'
'plegdrive' with letters rearranged gives 'prvileged'.
'prvileged' enclosing 'i' is 'PRIVILEGED'.
(Other definitions for privileged that I've seen before include "Having special rights" , "Elite" , "secret" .)
