	Passing
		Spin the ball with your, index fingers, middle fingers, and thumbs as it leaves your hands.
		This spin on the ball causes it to travel in a straighter line.
		Combine a lateral movement of the hand and arm, and push the ball forward with a snap of the wrist toward the receiver.

	Wrist spin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wrist spin is bowled by releasing the ball from the back of the hand, so that it passes over the little finger.
		Done by a right-handed bowler, this imparts a clockwise rotation to the ball, as seen from the bowler's perspective; a left-handed wrist spinner rotates the ball anticlockwise.
		Although the biomechanical details of wrist spin are the same for right- and left-handed bowlers, such bowlers are often discussed separately, as the direction in which the ball deviates as it bounces on the cricket pitch is different:

	Spin bowling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spin bowling, sometimes known as slow bowling, is a technique used for bowling in the sport of cricket.
		The main aim of spin bowling is to bowl the cricket ball with rapid rotation so that when it bounces on the pitch it will deviate sideways, thus making it difficult for the batsman to hit the ball cleanly.
		Depending on technique, a spin bowler uses his wrist or finger motion to impart spin to the ball around a horizontal axis that is at an oblique angle to the length of the pitch.

	Leg spin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A leg spin bowler attempts to flick the ball with his wrist in the act of delivery so as to cause the ball to spin anti-clockwise.
		Good leg spin bowlers are also able to bowl deliveries that behave unexpectedly, including the googly, which turns the opposite way to a normal leg break, and the topspinner, which doesn't deviate significantly.
		However, leg spin has again become popular with cricket fans and a successful part of cricket teams, driven largely by the success of Shane Warne, beginning with his spectacular Ball of the Century to Mike Gatting in 1993.

		a form of bowling in which the bowler imparts spin on the ball with the fingers as the ball is delivered, and for that reason also known as "finger spin".
		Spin bowling is most effective when the ball is traveling relatively slowly, and so most spinners bowl at a pace between 40 and 55mph.

		Therefore, the amount of spin that is imparted to the dice is a product of your forward hand-and-arm speed, instead of any intentionally increased or decreased wrist or finger movement to induce more or less spin as you release the dice.
		Just as the name implies, this spin is controlled by the speed difference between the arc of your lower arm and that of your wrist as it unfurls at the point of release.
		The only difference is that your pre-release wrist is cocked up towards the inside of your elbow instead of being curled under backwards and facing the near backwall of the table.

	[No title]
		This is simply a matter of practice, and of concentrating on using the wrist to provide both the speed (which is minimal) and the spin.
		It is simply a case of adjusting the angle of your wrist, and the way you hold the disc until you can throw it consistently with no wobble.
		Separation of wrist and arm, because for both fast and slow throws you should be concentrating on them each doing their own work - wrist providing spin and arm providing power (or lack of it).

		The shot is legally not a spin because from the last point-of-contact to the contact point of the shot is just _under_ 360 degrees; the follow through is legal as long as it too is under 360 degrees and you don't let go of the handle.
		If using a Tornado, place your wrist so that the left edge of your wrist is snug with the narrow part of the handle; this will allow a faster spin and a faster shot in general.
		The spin is created by scraping the back of the ball gently but _as fast as you can_ with the front of your man's toe.

		Most talented dice-influencers find that imparting a certain amount of spin to their dice-throw not only helps the two cubes fly in perfect side-by-side tandem, but it also keeps the dice from developing all kinds of sideways hopping, popping and scattering as soon as they touch down at the other end of the table.
		In this case, the amount of spin that is imparted to the dice is a product of your forward hand-and-arm speed, instead of any intentionally increased or decreased movement to induce more or less spin as you release the dice.
		Because of the inertia of forward movement of your arm, wrist and hand as it is moving through its throwing arc, the dice will tend to stick to the “ceiling” of the underside of your fingertips longer than to the “floor” of your grip (the contact patch of your thumb).

	Sport \| Adams in a spin
		Where the ball that spins in to the right- hander used to be faster and flatter, the new, improved chinaman now looks just like his stock ball or 'gogga'.
		As a young man, Garry Sobers bowled left-arm wrist spin and when I spoke to him in Cape Town he identified the development of the chinaman as the key to Adams's future success.
		Wrist spinners around the world are known to be quite clubbable, sharing their trade secrets and supporting one another, but there have been precious few left-arm wrist spinners on the international scene since 'Chuck' Fleetwood-Smith's eccentricities enlivened Australia's matches in the 1930s.

		Leg spin is a bit of a throwback to the early part of the twentieth century when leg spinners were almost ten a penny.
		Leg spin was in the doldrums in world cricket until Shane Warne came on the scene in 1990 with his beach-boy image, vicious leg spin and exceptional accuracy.

		It began its trajectory innocently enough, flipped with apparent nonchalance from the upper side of Warne's wrist, but from the instant it left his inordinately strong fingers it was humming like one of those silent bombs that destroy towns.
		Ian Salisbury and Chris Schofield, England's only quality wrist spinners, have benefited from his counsel, but TJ is professional enough to stand back from his involvement and declare they are still not good enough.
		But, in between those delicious wicket-taking balls there will inevitably be dross, the one that is dragged down by an anxious arm and sits up begging to be carted into the next county, the one that balloons embarrassingly and gets hammered with the crack of a cannon past the poor sod at short leg.

		Unlike off-spin and left-arm spin being called 'finger spin' because it uses the fingers to turn the ball, leg-spin turns the ball using its wrist.
		Left-arm spin is considered more dangerous than the orthodox off-spin as it spins away from the right-handed batsman (from right to left).
		The Chinaman delivery is a variation delivery of the left-arm spinner's normal delivery, which spins the opposite way, instead of spinning from leg to off (from right to left) it spins from off to leg (from left to right.

		A key figure in Australia's emergence in the 1990s as the leading side in world cricket, his success also led to a revival in wrist spin, a type of bowling little-used for many years.
		In 1998 he became the most prolific spin bowler in Test history when he overtook the West Indian off-spinner Lance Gibbs's career total of 309 wickets.

		Reverse swing and the googly might not seem to have much in common, but they are essentially fast and slow variations of the same principle: by subverting classical arts, wrist spin and orthodox swing, they seek to turn batsmen's natural mental cues against them.
		Bosanquet's speculations with the spinning ball began at university, where he played a game called Twisti-Twosti whose object was to bounce a tennis ball across a table so that it eluded someone seated opposite.
		Bosanquet had to be as limber as a contortionist to roll his wrist first over then under the ball so that it seemed to emerge from the back of the hand.

		Disc spin, (a.k.a.: "Wrist-flick") is important to a well balanced, overall throw.
		At this time, the flight of the disc should be spinning within one flight plane.
		In other words, if the spin axis is not perpendicular to the flight plane, the disc will begin to wobble.

		A leg spinner - almost always right arm wrist spin - moves the ball from leg to off as his stock or usual ball.
		"Wrist spin" is done with fingers (normally 1st and 3rd) and wrist giving the ball a hard "tweak" When off spin is delivered by a left hander its mostly done as wrist spin.
		Wrist spin is more agressive but also more expensive not because of the direction, but because the tweaking spins the ball more, but also makes it more difficult to control.
