This is the "mini hollow point" I got from Javier. The name is "
Bala de Plata" which translates as Silver Bullet. He says that after many years of only making wooden tops this was the first one they produced in a different material. He says most have been sold to collectors from Spain and he has very few left.
It is 60 mm tall and 48 mm wide (without the O-ring). It looks very much like a miniature HP except the walls are relatively much thicker (6 mm). It weighs about 55 gr. The tip is steel
It is a sweet little top that plays like a bigger top due to its relative heft. It is very nice for snap start as it fits the hand nicely but has good inertia at low speeds. I can see carrying this top in my pocket . . .
Javier says he is plans to make new metal tops with a different technology. They will have thin anodized walls, be "perfectly balanced" and as light-weight as plastic ones. I guess Trompos Space is here to stay . . .
