The top spin or flipper is another weapon in the leg spinner's arsenal. This is a delivery which goes straight after pitching or comes slightly into the right-handed batsman. The accomplished leg spinner Narendra Hirwani once told that it took him years of practice to master the top spin. The grip is almost the same as for leg spin. The difference is that the bowler does not spin the ball; he just pushes it through in a clockwise direction with the first finger. The ball moves quicker in the air and also off the wicket. The run-up for every delivery is identical, and the bowler should try to bowl with as much a side-on action as possible (except for the googly).
