I have been contemplating how to play blindfolded. This is a fantastic idea.

The idea of blindfold top play is beyond sick.

I have tried it a little and have successfully landed about 3 boomerangs out of probably 200 attempts.

I never have any idea what to do next cuz I'm always so surprised to have actually caught the top.

The feel and muscle memory one would need to become proficient at blindfold play would require I would guess around 10,000 hours.  I guess I'll say that this, and climbing Mt. Everest are officially off the table.

But it would be nirvana to see someone do it...

If someone has a buzzer top, bring it to worlds.  That would be one fantastic game for our group of top spinners!
