rotational force
That's what you would say with respect to a spinning projectile (e.g. bullet). I don't know if that fits here, though. What is the item we're talking about?
"Because the projectile is spinning, the ROTATIONAL FORCE upward on the nose causes the nose to precess to the right, and it's this rightward cant which causes what gunners usually call 'drift.'"
