Funny you should mention that. I can't spin them either
when they are dry :-( I have to back up and put them
on the wet surface or, at TMP, put them into the water
(they're pretty stingy with the water there :-P ), roll out
and spin them.
Because of my flaky, wot, will-it-shift or won't-it-shift tranny :-(,
I don't even try to spin them now! Seems to help but
I hate it when the opponent is waiting at the tree and
I go through my go-around-the-water, back up, line up
routine that I still use :-) and the flagman turns his head
slowly around and wonders what the heck I'm doing :-)
