Hit the ball with spin (5)
I believe the answer is:
drive
'spin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "Determination, ambition" , "High motivation, ambition" , "Road off main highway" , "spin" , "Hit golf ball from tee" .)
