driven shot

Low, forceful hit

A driven shot is a ball struck hard and low, maintaining a flat trajectory rather than arcing high.

In golf, it typically refers to an iron shot played with forward ball position to keep the flight penetrating under wind.

In cricket and field hockey, a driven shot travels fast along or near the ground: She fired a driven shot into the bottom corner.
