Both the French and Spanish make much use of the anglicism «drive», albeit not in a correct fashion: In English «drive» is supposed to imply a ball hit with a lot of pace to win a point outright, regardless of the type of spin used to accomplish this task. (The terms "shot" and "stroke", being more neutral, need not imply any added spin whatsoever) However in both French and Spanish, «drive» is often used as a synonym for "forehand" (shot/stroke), or like English it can refer to any hard shot, whether on the backhand or forehand side. A hook shot is a type of angle shot. 4, record 3, English, - angle%20shot
