Excellent spinner, opening (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

top-hole

'excellent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'spinner opening' is the subsidiary indication.
'spinner' becomes 'top' (something that spins).
'opening' becomes 'hole' (hole is a kind of opening).
'top'+'hole'='tophole'

(Other definitions for top-hole that I've seen before include "First-rate" , "Excellent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
