Fiddle Foundry Spinning Top - Hammered Copper

While our hammered copper spinning tops are designed to spin for very long times, they still take practice and the correct surfaces to do so.

1) Make sure you have a very flat and smooth surface to spin on.

2) Hold the top upright with just your thumb and second finger.

3) Flick your fingers as if you were snapping them. Try not to move any part of your wrist as this will cause the top to tumble over.

4) The faster you can flick your fingers and the more force you can create, the better chances of the top spinning and spinning for longer.

5) After some practice, you'll be spinning longer and longer. Have fun!
