Turn pins around (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spin

'turn' is the definition.
(I know that spin is a type of gyration)

'pins around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pins' is an anagram of 'SPIN'.

(Other definitions for spin that I've seen before include "This doctor is a political story-polisher" , "Move as a top" , "Mendacious PR; type of bowling" , "Turn round quickly" , "Rapid revolution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
