The corkscrew

No doubt THE mythical figure if there is one with an acrobatic spinning top; impress your loved ones with this relatively accessible trick.

Remember:

  • Throw a powerful boomerang, to have time to correctly place your string.
  • Take time to stabilize your top.
  • After you got your string behind your top, put your first turn on the thumb.
  • Start your training with one or two rounds.
  • Easier to learn with a bearing tip spintop!
