Prepare your first spintop
Here are the very first steps to learn the art of acrobatic spintop.
The accessories are generally provided inside your spintop, here is how to prepare them.
To remember:
Cut the ends of the string right after the knot to avoid any problem with your throws.
Wind up your top
The first windings can be complicated, each spintop is different…
To remember:
The button must be securely attached behind the fingers.
The right-handers wind up clockwise, the left-handed, counterclockwise.
Very tight the first rounds around the tip of the top.
Control the position of the spintop in your hand and changes it if necessary.
Throw your spinning top with its string
String tops can be throwed in many ways, the so-called front throw is arguably the easiest to learn.
You should then learn the side throw to start the circus spinning tricks, or the fight throw to play spintop battles.
The classic or front throw
The throw showed inf this video is usually the one used for target shooting.
To remember:
In your hand, the tip of the spintop should be visible and positioned about 10am.
Your fingers don’t really squeeze your top, just your thumb really does.
Move your whole arm, not just your elbow or wrist. Changes the position (10am) of the tip if needed.
Lateral throw
Jugglers throw! This one is the most common for tricks since it will lead, for example, to the Boomerang required to realize most of spintop tricks.
You should also try and master the classic throw and the fight throw to start having fun.
To remember:
Don’t pull at the end of your movement, your hand must stay where it drops the spinning top.
The movement again must be carried out by the whole arm, if necessary, adjusts the angle of the spinner in your hand between 90 ° and 140 ° (about:).
Fight throw
This throw is used all over the world, with a few exceptions, for traditional spinning top battles.
This time the spinning top is launched from the top down to the bottom allowing you to add all your strength to explode the opposing spintop!
When you know how to throw, aim for spinning tops or anything else!
Done! What else?
You can now play spintops, by working your throws you should quickly improve and become more and more precise, try new challenges, targets should be more and more difficult to reach etc…
You can try to throw under the leg, behind the head etc…
Among the next tricks to work on you can try walk the dog, scoop or sky rocket.
