What are you favourite spins? Which do you dislike or find overrated / overused?
I remember people being enraptured by Lipnitskaya's spins especially that ''Needle Spin'' with Biellmann entry inro one with split backward but I dislike that spin. For me it's very uncomfortable to look at, too much contortionism I am much more impressed by strong sit spin especially with great flexibility - like when you lay your torso on your leg (like Yuzuru), I think such spins take insane leg strength and balance. Try to sit on one leg and don't fall
My favourite positions are: Donut spin, scratch spin (especially from Ruh, Takahashi or Lambiel!), flying camel spin, simple layback spin (rarity now in competition), combination spins with last upright position, spins with change of edge.
I also enjoy that last position from Alaine Chartrand when she catches her blade with one hand above.

I am tired by plethora of Biellmann spins in ladies field. Even the best ones are just ''ok'' for me, the bad ones make me cringe. I know people hate so-called butt spins - aka A spins but I don't mind them from time to time. I dislike illusion spins too.
