Strikes sharply (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slaps

'strikes sharply' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for slaps that I've seen is " Hits with an open hand".)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.
