downspin
Downspin typically refers to: 1. In physics, it's a quantum state of a particle having spin resulting in an angular momentum less than that of an unpolarized particle in the same state. It is also used in quantum mechanics to denote the state of a particle (like an electron) that possesses a quantum spin in the opposite direction of an arbitrarily chosen axis. 2. In sports like golf/tennis, it describes the backward rotation of a ball caused by striking it in a particular manner resulting in the ball spinning back towards the player after it hits the ground or giving it a lesser forward bounce/roll. 3. In a general context, it can be used metaphorically to describe a negative or less favorable situation, trend, or outlook.
