Franck has also said that he finds the comb one of the more difficult moves to lead a beginner through properly; I'm beginning to think I must be doing somthing wrong
I think you need to get the off-hand hip-block right for it to go smoothly.

"Spin" as in - no contact with the man during the turn? I don't think that double spins would be a requirement. But the ability to spin to match the music I would say is: It's one of my pet dislikes when I spin a lady to a slower song and she catches on the half-beat - I have to insert an aquard one and a half beat move {or preperation} to get back with the flow.
