Crossword Genius

Winner's strike (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hit

This clue is a double definition.

'winner's' is the first definition.
(both can mean a successful creative venture)

'strike' is the second definition.
(hitting is a kind of striking)

(Other definitions for hit that I've seen before include "Popular song; strike" , "winner" , "Of a play, a smashing success" , "Chart topper" , "dose of illegal drug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
