"Topspin" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Topspin refers to the spin imparted to a ball, usually in a golf or tennis shot, that curves or turns upward and away from the player's left side (for right-handed players). This type of spin causes the ball to bounce more strongly and unpredictably to the side, making it harder for the opponent to strike a clean return. Toppin is also the last spin produced by a rotating piece of machinery, firearm or other equipment.
Usage Examples of "Topspin"
A toque (also known as a touque or newsboy cap) is a type of close-fitting, brimless cap with a rounded crown. It is typically made of wool or cotton and has a button on top. Toques are often worn for warmth in cold weather and are commonly seen in winter sports, such as skiing or ice skating. They can also be worn as a fashion accessory. The term "toque" is derived from the French word for chef's hat, but in English-speaking countries, it usually refers to a casual, informal type of hat.
