Hit the ball with vim and vigour (5)
I believe the answer is:
drive
'hit' is the definition.
(I know that drive is a more specific form of hit)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "Road leading to a house" , "demand for chauffeur" , "Be in charge of car in motion" , "gear" , "Control and steer vehicle" .)
