Donating

Donating is a method of "plugging" up the Tetris hole to send a T-Spin. After the T-Spin, the Tetris hole is opened up once again to allow the continuation of Tetris or downstacking.

Although the Donating technique is mostly used over Tetris holes, it is also possible to use it to cover up T-Spin holes and open them up at a later point. This example is taken from a real multiplayer game. The player is utilizing the donating technique to the extreme, setting up 3 T-spin doubles before the original T-Spin hole is revealed again.
