Normally when a ball moves, it rolls toward where it goes. But when you spin a ball with its axis vertical to the floor, it somehow still moves. How does it works?

Normally when a ball moves, it rolls toward where it goes. But when you spin a ball with its axis vertical to the floor, it somehow still moves. How does it works?

Answer 1

It seems incredibly unlikely that you would be able to spin a ball around the axis vertical to the floor and have the rotation be completely stable.
