The only miniature tops i have are those two gold painted dots in the photo, lol. Made them myself, with only a saw, knife and many sheets of sandpaper! The tip is a steel rod . They spin for about 30-50 seconds. Good for something not made on a lathe! ---

The Short Circuit is a great top to start with and it seems to me people have an easier time leaning to throw with one than the Elec-Trick, but that is just what I have seen with folks in my local yo-yo club. I have been throwing tops for around 10 years maybe. You will have to find your own path with which tops you like and the fixed tip/bearing tip question and all that jazz, but the Short Circuit is a good starting point. Photos of my collection are on a secure server and cannot be accessed. ---

It all depends. If you want fixed tip go with the short circuit, if you want bearing tip go with the elec-trik. Fixed tip is not useful till you start learning some kind of tricks and regenerations, while bearing tip can get damaged pretty easily if you play on a hard surface ---

My spin top photos are all secret, top secret! You see, most of my tops have been modified to play easier, and if those pics got out and reverse engineered, well , could you imagine a world where children were playing with tops in the streets and parks?! I shudder to think of it. ---

I have these three. From what I understand, the UFT is pretty rare. I have a blue / yellow UFT that Eric Wolff gave me, I’m keeping that one. I believe UFT stands for unidentified flying top, but it’s been a long time I can’t remember for sure. I drilled the hole in the red one about 17 years ago. I had a lime green one similar to that, but I can’t find it now. I don’t have any extra tips and I’m not sure where to get them. ![5181](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/0/5/a057c03f769439975a676bf60f59abcd903292fc.jpeg) ![5180](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/1/9/5191bafaefa2ae447f5bbc8bd362c3e2ccd4a8ce.jpeg) ---
