Some ball at Headingley that turns (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lathe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'that turns' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'some ball at headingley' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'LATHE' can be found hidden inside 'ball at headingley'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "Turner's tool" , "This is turned out" , "Rotating machine tool" , "Turning tool" , "Wood-turning machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
