I'm sure you recognised it! :D I think you used the same top in a recent video. It's a Quicksilver Hybrid with a fixed tip. Only I don't have a wooden cap for it

Yeah I'm so happy I got one. I love how thin the tip is so it doesn't lose momentum too quickly. Mermouy suggested me to get one.

Very slick, sir!

That's a large top. I thought the smaller tops were less challenging. Should I keep trying with my QSH or use a bigger size top?

Butterfingers, I've been practicing with the larger spin top for the trick called "Suns". I used the larger top because I felt more comfortable with that top.


My First Patch WOW!!!! This can be Addictive.

id say its easier to snapstart a larger Top, unless its like super heavy. strommol8 regen pretty nicely so thats a good option for learning snapstarts. qsh ennnn not so much, kinda heavy. a neffy 4'' soda top......... that snapstarts efffffortlessly @-@

...advice and wisdom from Jack. I guess I will set aside my QSH and work with an S8 to learn the trick.
