Cut shot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cut shot is a type of shot in several sports.
- In golf, it is a shot that, for a right-handed golfer, curves from left to right. Unlike a slice, a cut shot is intentional. Compare: fade.
- In pool, it is a shot in which the cue ball strikes the object ball off center, so as to deflect it at an angle.
- In cricket, it is a cross-batted shot by the batsman into the off side, usually the point area or backward of point.
'Cut' and 'shot' are also terms used in film and film editing.
