If this is one of those subjects that's been beaten to death already, please point me to the appropriate topic. I did a search and find mentions, but haven't found the detail I'm looking for.
I understand how to control precession with the top in my hand, but how do you do that when it's hanging from the string? In one of Neff's atelier videos, he's talking about it. I understand it in theory, but can't figure it out in practice.
For instance, when I'm doing a Merry-Go-Round, how do I keep the top more upright so it's not laying on it's side when I want to pop it back up to my hand?
