I've heard it called many things: Outside spin, half-spin, backspin, * spin, chump spin...

It is pretty great for entertaining a crowd or just makin' someone look like a chump.

It helps if you ground tap and body fake to the left as well..

Yeah, I was seeing it the way I do it... I'm left handed... and was writing it the way I saw it.

In the shot i'm thinking of, you spin the other direction. Though that one is a good shot too, and the ground tap is a very good suggestion. Thanks.

I know it. Lefties pull it off better I think, Sir Thorn of Avalon (lefty) has it in his regular set of shots that you can expect from him on the line.
