After going to Miamisburg and having Chris teach us how to balance tops, I balanced a few. I got some beginners luck and got one perfect and improved a few others. The problem is that all these tops were formerly OK (Or so I thought). They now spin longer, are easier to do multiple tricks with one throw and generally more fun.
Now, every top I pick up needs to be balanced. I had no idea how infectious the top balancing disease was, nor how easily the condition would become chronic. I fear there is no cure.
