Score with lofted shots? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
hit up
'lofted shots?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'score' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'score' could be 'hit' (synonyms) and 'hit' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'up' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
