backspin

backspin

Noun

In sports like tennis, table tennis, or billiards, this term describes a specific physical rotation that alters the trajectory and bounce of a ball. It is often used to describe a strategic move to deceive an opponent or control the speed of the object upon impact.

When used figuratively, the term describes a sudden reversal of luck or a negative turn of events. This metaphorical usage is less common than the physical one and typically appears in contexts involving professional setbacks or unexpected failures.
