1)What is the hardest spin top trick?
(This is a difficult, and very subjective question I know, but I'm curious what people think)


For me personally the hardest trick I've ever done/attempted is what I call the Iron Lotus. I have 4 successful attempts, 3 are on camera and there were a lot of ...

Just when I thought I might be retired.

Had a great time as always. Many thanks to everyone for coming and making it happen. Pretty cool that after 13 years of spinning and 11 trips to Miamisburg I finally was able to secure my 8 trick patch.

I have a technicality question, shouldn’t the person who took the photo be the winner? If this is a still from the video then disregard my question.

Will the freestyles be available to watch somewhere?

I should clarify that normal joker choker isn't going to produce the much faster speeds. When nothing but RPM's is the goal I get the top at about a 70 degree angle where I can do both catches of joker choker without the top needing to change angles. Then I work my body clockwise around the top ...

If he’s allowed to regenerate after the throw then my suggestion would be practice joker choker and get the top humming before sending it down the string. When speed is the goal I can get it going a lot ...

Happy Birthday Jorge. Whenever we decide to start naming spintop masters and grandmasters, you will without a doubt be the first to get the honor.

Good job, love to see it. I’m glad to be of some help, I’ve always thought suns is the best spin top trick of all time.

This thread is giving me flashbacks.

This reminds me of Waves by Chris Neff where he does joker choker without letting go of the string. It’s a very cool feel when you get it going.

I like this.

Btw you should post videos like this on Instagram, it’s where a lot of players post videos at.

Kanta Tani is so good, very well deserved.

Suns or “wheel of fortune” (personally I like the name suns for a single sun and continuous) is done with a twist in the string when the spintop comes over the arc. And by twist I mean that the string coming from your right hand goes to the left of the tip and the string coming from your left hand ...

The tip should be pointed away from you when it comes over the top of the arc. It looks to me like you’re doing orbits on vertical plane which kind of cool.
