Rate of Twist is the number or rotations
(Like a football spiral) a bullet/projectile will turn in the length stated.
For example: In a 20" barrel - 1:9 Rate of twist - a "Fast Rate of Twist"
The bullet will complete two rotations
(and just begin the third) before exiting the muzzle.
20" Barrel - 1:16 Rate of Twist (Standard for 22 LR)
The bullet will complete only ONE rotation
(and begin the second) before exiting the muzzle.
The 1-16 is the standard twist for all normal long rifle loads.
Stingers and 22shorts are reported to perform better in 1-18 twist.
Longer bullets require a faster twist to stabilize.
