touch shot
Gentle basket attempt
A touch shot is a delicate play requiring finesse rather than power.
In billiards and pool, it's a soft stroke that positions the cue ball precisely.
In basketball, it's a gentle shot off the backboard or with soft arc, often near the rim.
The term emphasizes skilled control: He banked in a beautiful touch shot from the baseline.
