New Spin Top from Strummol8 - The ROSALINDA!

Strummol8’s newest shape is a daring and bold take on modern spin tops and features a completely new tip - The Rosalinda!

The Rosalinda is a very fast moving spin with a unique weight distribution that is excellent for changing directions in its axis of spin. The overall shape is similar to those of traditional Mexican wooden tops with a more concave profile, and if you have been in the spin top game awhile you might remember the YoYoJam Chihuahua Spin Top too!

The curved profile gives this top a particularly striking aesthetic and when the string hits the spin top at an angle it catches and feeds the string right down to the tip with ease. It plays with a pleasantly powerful spin that is extremely stable thanks to most of the weight being focused on the upper portion of the top.

The Rosalinda is also the first of Strummol8’s tops to feature their new ‘XL spin top tip’ which holds onto the string easier especially when the top is played completely vertical in axis for mid-air catches. The new tip will be available for sale separately in the future, but find it first here!

I got to play with this at a yoyo meet. Super cool shape & material. Very fun top.

It’s like the YYJ Chihuahua. I have two of those. I never threw them much because one broke the first time it hit the floor!

This should be much tougher, being made of Delrin.

I haven’t made any yoyo purchases in quite a while. I just bought all three of the new Strummol8 tops!

I played with an Augusta at the Juggler’s Fest and it was amazing!!!

Edit: I just read the description, which mentions the Chihuahua. Yep, I’m one of those old-timers…

It may be shaped like the old YYJ Chihuahua but the size makes it a whole other animal!

Can’t wait to get some time on it and the other two.
