When I miss a full roundhouse I tend to turn the momentum into a backfist or elbow.

I go either, 360 or 180, depends on the situation. I am comfortable working righty or southpaw so the position doesn't bother me. I'm happy to throw a spinning elbow if the followup is right, or catch them coming in with a sidekick to the belly. You need to be quick on your feet to pull it off, though, and have good awareness of your opponent.

I generally find that it is easier for me to go the full 360, since the force of the kick carriers me about 270 anyway. I think the best advice anyone can give is do whatever feels natural.

The spin is usually rhe safest option. Make sure when you get back around to leg check and have your hands up. Whenever someone spins on me I try to have a right cross waiting on them when they get back around..

I dunno... the back kick option may be the safest, as it allows you to have an attack ready for the incoming attacker instead of a passive block.
If your opponent is smart, he closed the gap on your way around, back kick will only get you of balance and open for a right cross..

that's why I don't spin when I kick any more. put the leg straight down - you see him closing the gap and he impales himself on the kick - the back kick comes off of the leg that did the roundhouse, not off of the supporting leg - there is no spin.

You kill your power without the spin. Are you a fighter???
