Hit band zone (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

belt

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that belt is a more specific form of the action hit)

'band' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'zone' is the third definition.
(I know that zone can be written as belt)

(Other definitions for belt that I've seen before include "Zone - hit" , "It's worn around the waist" , "Token of judo rank" , "Race" , "Waist band; hit very hard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
