That it is.
However, what a lot of people may not realize is that the spin-o-rama is a double edged sword. You gotta go in from a wide angle to get the goalie moving from one end to the other; and you gotta go in hard so he has to match your aggression which makes it difficult to stop, as usually most goalies will commit HARD on the lateral movement.
The thing about the spin-o-rama is, when you decide this is what you do, you're committed to it. When you're read properly and the goalie is still in a good position to make a save, you really have little-to-no recourse left. It's like an all-or-nothing kinda deal.
There are some dekers however that make shit up as they go along and that truly are the harder ones to stop; their moves are based on how they read the goalie and how the goalie is reacting to their puck movements; and those guys that CAN make shit up as they go along, by nature don't really have that 1 move they ALWAYS do
