  • Are you sanders?

    

  • Hello there, yes I am a Sanders ;-) Were you one of my math students?

  • so wheni throw it right away when it comes out of my hand pull it back?

  • Yes, and try different anles when you pull back to see which one works best. Good Luck.

  • how do you pull it back up and can you do it with a wooden tip thanks really hope you reply

  • Practice pulling it back up by throwing it as usual start then as soon as it is released from the hand, pull your hand back opposite the throwing direction. Practice on a large grass area so you can find the perfect motion. Wooden tops will work but are much harder to keep spinning on the hand.

  • Thanks for the help. I have a wooden top like the first one, and I tried it about 20 times and it worked 5 times out of 20. Needless to say my top got pretty banged up, but it only took a bit of sandpaper and it's fine now!

  • GREAT!!! but you probably didn't know that on you first try with the wooden, if you kept it spinning, you would've done a skyscraper trick.
