I really like that modify button.  I've used it a number of times already since Jorge showed me how to take advantage of it after worlds.

A the age of 90, Don Macizo has passed away. RIP to a great maker, player and promoter of the top.

I will always regret not having been able to meet him in person. It would have been an honor to have him in the Figaro Gallery.

I'm actually crying right now....  :'( :'( :'(

I remember learning much from the many videos taken of him, and I still make many of my tops in a very similar fashion to his...   :'( :'( :'(

So sorry to hear about Don Macizo.  He was, indeed, a great figure in the world of spin.  I loved his videos and articles and unique way to start tops in his hand.  He should have been to worlds at least once.  He would have loved it.
