My son did not want another Rosie. So here is the WASP. The top is 8 diamenter and weighs 1 pound 13 ounces. It's made out of Pine. I will try to check it out tomorrow and make a video.

New name the WIFE wants the name changed to LA BELLA.

Bellissimo!

Those high boomerangs with a big top are really impressive!
And the kidos looked very impressed with grandpa! (me too)

Thanks Jeremy and Tao. The line is 1/4 by 10 feet. I need a longer line to do the double body cork screw. Like 1/4 by 13 feet. So it's on it's way. I tried 3/16 line and the top would not come back, with many trys. Today I used a different 3/16 same name and everything and it worked? I'm so happy. I still can't get a stair way to HEAVEN. YET. I hope you come to the Bay Area some day - I have a lot of tops you can check out.

The video shows me using a 1/4 x 10 foot rope. I have longer 1/4 rope on the way. The rope I was using was to short for the double body cork screw. I tried 3/16 diamenter and it would not work. Then I found another long 3/16 and the top would work. Now I'm throwing on 3/16 x 13 feet 9 inches. WOW -- Now LA BELLA comes in like a rocket. I did my stair way to heaven and I'm sure this top will do ALL THE TRICKS. Hopefully I will make another video with LA BELLA doing all the tricks I can do. Believe me every serious top thrower should experience throwing a top like this.

Whatever it is, it sure does do the job on burning that wood!  It creates some good smoke, too.

La Bella throwing on 3/16 x 13 feet 9 inches rope. Trying to get doubles. This is an 8 inch pine top. Maybe a 7 inch will be easier to trick with.

La Bella is 8.0 diamenter and comes in at 1 pound 15 oz. So now I'm thinking of 7.0 diamenter at  maybe 1 pound 8 oz. I want the biggest top that I can do all the tricks I know.
