Your lawn is a trampoline? :blink:

No idea how much it would spin... something only you can answer. :)

Usually on a grass lawn it'll get some help from bumps in the ground....for instance there's a spot in my back garden that if i pitch it on the ball will go from outside off stump to leg stump with a bit of finger spin.
I've found that nets in my experience generally don't spin that well unless you do some wrist spin balls or really rip a finger spin ball. I don't know why this is exactly though.
On the actual pitch the amount of spin is somewhere between these two, depending of course of what the pitch is like - a dry pitch with cracks + bumps = good for spinning whereas a green pitch = not as much.

hope that helps a bit :happy:
