Strictly speaking there is an important distinction to be made between a "touch shot" and a "finesse shot", terms quite often used synonymously. A "touch shot" requires a delicate "touch" of the hands to execute shots such as a "drop volley" or a "lob volley", whereas a "finesse shot" is simply any shot that has required much agility and nimbleness on the part of the player, e. g. backhand topspin lob. Related term : specialty shot.  1, record 1, English, - finesse%20shot
