Gossip hasn't ruined stroke (7,4)

I believe the answer is:

passing shot

'stroke' is the definition.
(passing shot is a kind of stroke)

'gossip hasn't ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'gossip'+'hasnt'='gossiphasnt'
'gossiphasnt' with letters rearranged gives 'PASSING SHOT'.

(Another definition for passing shot that I've seen is " that makes point in court".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
