Haiii!!!!!

Is is only me or the BK is a bad top... YYF Elec-trick is so much more fun to play with. The aspect ratio of the BK ask it to have a pretty big string but then it render tricks harder... I have a make shift 16*3 thread string, I'm able to properly boomerang it but it has a lot of vibe & I feel like the bearing is nowhere near as good as the Elec-trick... Anyway different top traing different skills!

On other hand, i was able to almost consistantly boomerang my very small wooden top I'm super happy! In fact I'm now able to almost consistantly boomerang all the top I play with \o/ !!! There is something so addictive about tops. I tried to get back into yoyo-ing but didn't work out. On other hand, I can see myself just wanting to play tops for life!!!

Let's say I own currently :
- YYF ShortCircuit & Elec-Trick
- BK

What would be the next step up for the next top. I intend to learn regens and I seem to prefer playing with fixed tips BUT the bearing tops are nice to have more time before the spin run out!
Thanks y'alls!

ps: the https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/spin-tops/products/spintastics-quicksilver-spin-top?variant=18872880004 at YYE are absolutely stunning! :+). But I'd hope there is a way to convert them into fix tip top

Can I mention how much I love string making Look how gorgeous this looks =)

Of those three tops the BK with a fixed tip was what I used for learning regeneration. Better yet is the Trompo Grande for its size. The ShortCircuit is great but I think the small round shape makes it difficult to learn to lasso in air.

I like that all yellow ShortCircuit you have! Have not seen that one before. How are you making string?

Well, take a peek at that video :



In the case of the YYF I used 14 thread of coton, as for the BK I used 16 thread of coton.

I'll keep that in mind for the ShortCircuit. I need to pin down my trapeze before trying anything else anyway. I'll work more using the BK.

Cheers and thanks!

This is Neff's old way to make string. Check out his newer videos.

I like the spintastics trompo grande as a beginner top.  The quicksilvers are one of my go to tops now I like to weight and how they play.  They also look pretty awesome.

Don't laugh I'm at the point where I land all my boomerang both with my Fixed tip & Bearing top... the rest is still very very iffy
