I got mine yesterday and could play a little bit this morning.
What nice looking tops! They look like marble sculptures!
The little swirls also remind me of pictures (with a filter) of the hot sun surface.
One thing that surprised me is how hard they feel, kind like glass. And when they land on the side and specially on the tip on a thin carpet over a hard surface the sound is high pitch: I instinctively fear they may shatter (but I don't think they will).
And they also play well. They do have some wobbling in the air, but very little on the hand and more importantly they feel good on the string (cord). I got a light one and a heavy one to compare them. I thought the light one might be too light but no, it had enough weight (although the weigh distribution on these tops is a little to top-heavy).
These are wonderful tops to display and play!
THANKS JOHN!
