I want to decide wich bearing top should I get. What would be the best top for a begginer? Here are my options:

-Duncan bearing king  
-Spintastics blizzard  
-Spintastics trompo bearing

If it has to do with preference, I am starting spin topping so I dont have preferences.

remove the second choice instead they re not fixed ther is some trouble with the bearing sit atm…

BEaring king or trompo grande is perfect, Trompo is bigger than the BK… As youlike both are really good to start.

I have a preference for the Trompo that have a metal tip… less damages on craches… but more dangerous for a beginer…

Oh yes, I picked up a Trompo and it dug right into my hand. If you do get one, take a nail file to the tip and take the sharpness off the point. Just don’t get crazy w/ it, you don’t want to flat’n the tip either.
