Precision Metal Spinning Top, Long Lasting Spin Time and Perfect Balance, Skilled Adult Easily Exceed 10 Mins, Portable Stainless Steel EDC Office Desktop Game Toys (M, Iridescent)

My wife and kids have had fun taking turns spinning on a double-concave optical glass lens at 3". I was able to achieve spin times of 8, and 9 minutes consistently, and with 10:52 my longest so far by hand on the first day. There are others out there that claim to go longer, but for the price, this is performs better than expected -- not to mention I'm new at it. With proper technique I can see this being able to reach the 12-minute mark.

Great top i get 10 minute spins or better on glass, and good price

The media could not be loaded. Revising this review...performance of the top was deteriorating after 2 days. I realize now that it must be the glass base i had ordered for it. I don't know if the base picked up scratches or what. But i was just able to spin the top for 7 minutes on my glass stovetop, so the problem is not the top. The top is cool.

The media could not be loaded. I have over 70 tops of various materials.I wanted to give these a try since for 3, I was getting a good value.The stem has a knurled contour to allow for a stable hold before spinning. The styling is very nice and the coating is uniform. I like the styling of the ring which gives it a futuristic look.The stem is hollow down to the bead. That helps with keeping balance. The finish is nice, though I wonder about longevity. I chose the black color since the only one I have in black was a 3D printed top.The smallest is the easiest to spin properly, followed by medium, and then, the large top. The medium has spun the longest of the three. Each of them are well balanced and spin like they are looking still, if you spin it correctly. Spin times are about 7-9 minutes on a concave glass base.The best one for younger people or novices is the small. The size is perfect. If you’re strong or are advanced the large is decent but I’d really recommend the medium as an all around solid performer.For the price, it is hard not to get the three. Definitely worthy of consideration.

The media could not be loaded. My best top yet. Gotta be my fav one so far.It looks awesome, has a premium feel to it and spins for days. It’s a decent size and weight. Also I def suggest to get the multi colored one like I got bc it’s funner to watch. All the solid color tops look still when they spin

Fun spinner.

Others have dinged this product for a misleading photo making it appear larger than it is in reality. However, additional photos give its actual dimensions. Weighing 1.9 oz this is the heaviest spin top I own, and the weight is held high enough that it is hard to get a perfectly vertical spin. However, the moderately wide distribution of weight keeps it spinning a long time, especially when that near-perfect spin is achieved. As others noted, the advertised spin time seems impossible. My best timed spin was 8:43. The bit of detailing makes this top distinctive. I like tops that have detailing that changes with spin speed.

All Cheetops are great spinners and are an easy way to get into spinning tops. Solid performers.
