Okay, I am wondering what are you guys using for a mat to throw your spin tops on? I live in an apartment and I don’t want to throw metal spin tops on his floor, but I tried to use a mat for a gym. They don’t spin long on the mat. It’s too rubbery.
So I’m trying to figure out what I can use to throw on. I was thinking maybe a big piece of cardboard or something plastic

I seldom throw inside after taking my TV out with a Cobra, but if you are simply practicing target shots, a disc golf thing works.

I hear paper plates can be good targets, maybe a larger desk pad. You could get a very dense carpet sample from a carpet supplier near by.
My floors are shot so I just throw wherever when no one’s home or everyone’s awake and in the mood for “BAM BOOM CRASH” repeatedly
Though I am getting better at boomerang now!

I’ve been needing this myself. I have cement and hardwood.

Was very close to ordering some cobras the other day, but decided I need to get better before splurging any more haha.

I use a frisbee on a rug, I only use the frisbee because the internet told me that’s what people do. An old piece of lino is probably better
The bey stadiums my son has are loud, like super loud. When I try to soundproof the undersides he says I’m ruining them

One of the guys from the yo-yo club 3D printed this. It works pretty well, but a heavy disc golf frisbee thing is less bounce and skip.
