They look fabulous! Like a Quick Silver without grooves.
I'm guessing they thread together. Looks like a steel tip. Do they have bearings?

I am sure they are fixed tip (steel). They are two pieces that screw-on. I believe the size is standard small (e.g. sidewinder). Besides the anodization in different colors, they will have the logos of some of the best Mexican players on the crown.
He is about to start selling them but I don't have a price yet.

Here is a view on the hand with a bunch of spintop aluminum keychains:



The looks remind me of a YYF Acrobat. But Cuper told me he didn't know about our aluminum tops.
He wrote he made his first aluminum tops about 6 years ago, although they were one piece tops.
