A rock can be delivered without a rotational effect (straight handle) to reach the target or hit another rock, or with a rotational movement (spin or turn). This movement can be slight, the rock not executing a complete turn on itself before coming to a stop, or more important, the rock spinning or turning on itself while rolling on the sheet. 2, record 1, English, - spin%20placed%20on%20a%20rock
