Quote the part where the developer said that

According to Business Insider's Mark Wilson, Kinect is unable to pick up some of the more subtle movements of the human body, such as wrist movement. He noticed this when playing the bowling game featured in Kinect Sports. He was told by the developers that "the game can't track spin based upon a twist of [the] wrist"

 

Seems to me like the developer pretty clearly stated that Kinect cannot track the finer movements of the wrist..such as twisting of the wrist.  If it could,  they would be able to track the spin based on the twist of the wrist and add that into the game.

Please read my post. I said where does the developer say that kinect can't track wrist movements. The part you bolded says the game can't.

So just because one game can't track it means that kinect can't?

This is from the article:

"And while designers admit that, unlike Wii MotionPlus bowling, the game can't track spin based upon a twist of my wrist—instead you exaggerate the motion within the entire scope of your swing"

Again you missed my point.  He didn't have to specifically detail that.  If subtle wrist movements were being detected....It's not a very hard task to assign a movement or spin of the ball based on that input.  I would even go as far as to say that a junior programmer could handle such a task.   And since the game really has no purpose to 'exclude' this feature, it very obviously points to that.
