LEAD-DIRECTING DOUBLE

A double of a conventional or cue bid to suggest a lead of that suit.

South’s double asks for a heart lead. Since it is unclear whether the final contract will be in spades or no- trumps, South needs length (normally at least five cards) and strength in hearts for the double.
