CB,
When you throw the ball, it transitions through 3 phases of motion skid, hook & roll. The balls spin time will represent how long the hook phase of the ball will last, higher spin times will translate to a longer hook phase. The final spin time of the ball sill be determined by many factors designed into the balls core RG's, RG diff's, overall shape and location of densities.

good luck and good bowling.
