What is this?
Title: Natural Spin Turn
Level: Pre-Bronze (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (123456)
Rotation: 
Steps 1-3: 3/8 to Right
Steps 4-6: 5/8 to 7/8 to Right

Notes
Underturning/Turning/Overturning
The terms over/underturning refer to Steps 4-6 of 
Natural Spin Turn. Depending on the desired alignment, 
these can be rotated more or less. The definitions for 
each are as follows:

Underturned: Anything ≤ 5/8 of a Turn.
Regular Turn: 5/8 < Regular Turn < 7/8
Overturned: Anything ≥ 7/8 of a Turn. 
The Checked Spin Turn
Is an amalgamation of the Natural Spin Turn and the Reverse Pivot.

IDTA Note: The IDTA Syllabus divides the Natural Spin Turn into two 
separately noted figures: Natural Spin Turn and Underturned Natural 
Spin Turn. For the sake of clarity, we list them together.

The IDTA also lists the Running Spin Turn and the Quick Natural Spin Turn. 
To avoid confusion, these have their own page.
