OKAY… So I am a beginner spintop thrower. I can catch it on my hand almost every time and know no tricks yet. I can’t wait to get better and I am a fast learner. When I was intoxicated last night I ordered an Acrobat. Can i use this? If i drop it will it break? I’ve only used fixed tops.

Acrobats are great tops, just don’t worry about scratching it or you will never play with it. It has a delrin tip which would be better as steel, that’s about my only complaint. The string it comes with is WAY TOO LONG, so you’ll need to resize it before you throw it. I cut mine down to 65".

He means, if you worry about scratching it, your not gonna play it. It will get scratched, it will get dinged, you have to get over it.
