Underturned spin

The underturned spin is a useful variation on the natural spin turn that allows a leader to navigate a corner. The step is identical to the natural spin turn but only rotates of a turn on the pivot instead of, and of a turn on 4 to 6 instead of. This reduces the total amount of rotation by of a turn.
