i make tops in my woodwork class! i make realy good ones!

[cowgirlSam]

Cool! Do you make this type of "throw top" or do you make finger tops? I 've made a few on my lathe but I need learn how to sharpen my tools so I can make some bigger better ones ;)  I would love to see what you have made. I love all sorts of tops.

if you know how to throw it can you pls tell me

[cowgirlSam]

Wind the string around the "crown" or top of the top and then wind around the tip (winding away from your body if the tip is pointing to your right, assuming you're right handed) Hold the button in-between your fingers with the tip of the top pointing straight up. Keep your arm/elbow straight and throw top out in front of you. Don't let go of the string and the top will unwind and flip over and spin on its tip. If you search "beginner top" you will find a video on how to wind and throw.

These spin-top tricks were created by many of the same players who created the yo-yo tricks. If I'm stealing them by doing them, then so are you every time you do a trick that you yourself didn't create. How about you post a yo-yo video and show us your skills. It's easy to bad mouth someone when you hide behind an anonymous avatar.

@racer096 These are essentially Koma, a Japanese spinning top. Koma has entertained children and adults of Japan for well over 1,000 years. Do some research buddy. :D

@racer096- just because something is more popular doesn't make it "better" than something thats less popular. Example - pop music. It is obviously popular, and yet? It sucks. Sucks alot.

Yo-yo's >  Tops. Is there even a world turny for tops ?

[XxBearingArmsxX]

@racer096 You sre very rude and this seems much harder than yoyo and do please post your top skills sense it is easy peesy

[DarkGaia07]

how do you do the bomerage

[Bhitch92]

@racer096 So a Spin Top isn't a "real string toy" huh? Properly using a top takes a lot more dedication then properly using a yoyo. Trust me.

Also, I'm an avid yoyoer, and if you think that top spinners are "noobs". Then maybe you should have a talk With Yukki Spencer, Miguel Corea, Takeshi Kamisato and countless others... I have a feeling you know who they are.
