Hey, I did #7! 
I used a QuickSilver with diabolo tip and a narrow string. I was trying to do Michelangelo's Patch 4X fixed-tip Mach 5 but I got frustrated and changed to this one. I was surprised to get it in just a few tries. I did regenerate a little more out of the snap start than on the video, but I think the top also ended with a little more spin on my hand.

Perhaps you should include some easier tricks on this series. The level so far has been very advanced.

Today's trick - One Hand UD Boomerang 

wow 

[Hroch]

Thanks guys. I think it's more difficult to come up with new and easy trick but we'll try

Very nice! It is interesting that you are chasing the top with your hand as it comes by on your left instead of leading the top as it comes to you on the right.

Perhaps some interesting combinations of simpler tricks would be interesting to your fans.  There are so many three trick combination possibilities.  But there is a bit of a puzzle to figure out which tricks can be done with less spin and therefore be at the end of the combination.

Because chasing the top on left side is much easier for string setup and for starting merry go round

This week something easier, I hope you all try it! A little hint, just do a normal rollercoaster, but don't let the end of the string go off your left hand, when you throw the top in the air.

Did it!

Yes, doing several roller-coasters (or sewing machines) without letting go the string from the left hand (like when using a ring) before going into the trick really helps.

ooooooo i like this one  took me a little while to get it right but this trick is definatly something ill do on a reguler basis from now on.
3 thumbs up sir!!! and thank you very much for recording that, that trick should be required learning amongst top spinners  too fun 

[Jack]

im finding it really makes life easier if you intentionally throw the string over your throw arm as if your starting a WWW 
loving this trick @-@
