A hit is when the stick is swung, then strikes the ball with speed. There are four main kinds of hits: a straight drive, a sweep, a tomahawk, or a backhand. A straight drive uses a Golf- or cricket-style swing to strike the ball with the head on the forehand (to the right of the player). A sweep is when the player swings their stick almost horizontally and makes contact anywhere on the lower half of the stick. A tomahawk is a drive or sweep using the edge of the stick on either side (however it is illegal on the forehand). A backhand is a hit on the left of the player and requires the stick to be rotated over so the playing side or leading edge is used.

In Field Hockey, it is either a goal or a physical attack.

In technology, it is a unit of the number of people that have visited a web page/site.
