Not everyone is familiar with the beauty of a spinning top and you might need some tips. Here are a few things that might help you start your collection, become a spin master or inspire you to pick something original for your loved ones.

What’s so special about a spinning top? Spinning tops have a certain beauty of their own. From the therapeutic remedy of their spins to the texture of a finely-machined metal object, every person can benefit from the experience of spinning a top. You can see some more reasons above!

I’m new to spinning tops. Which top should I buy and what would be the perfect top for a gift? We love all of our spinning tops equally, there are certainly some that are recommended for beginners over others. In general, the lighter that the top is, the easier it will be to spin - and to spin upside down! The magnesium top is currently our lightest top and is easiest to spin, especially for children. Titanium is another light top that is rather easy to spin and is actually our most popular top as well!



The highly-desired Tungsten top is the heaviest in our collection right now and is the hardest to spin, but with a little bit of practice, you can become a master in no time, even if it is your first spinning top!

What are ForeverSpin's favourite tops? We at ForeverSpin have piled up dozens of different tops - we went through hundreds of prototypes and iterations trying to bring you the world’s finest tops - and it’s a very hard decision! Our favourite tops are the titanium, the gold plated, the tungsten and the nickel tops. It’s really hard to pick just one! There is a top suited for everyone and we hope you can find the best for you.

I really want a collection! Which tops are best? ForeverSpin’s collection is rather large, but if you don’t want all of our tops, a respectable collection is of 5 tops and a spinning base! We here at ForeverSpin believe that for a good collection, it is important to have tops that weigh different amounts, while also getting some colour and flavour into your collection. With that, we recommend picking up the aluminum, titanium and stainless steel tops to diversify your weights. The other few tops are up to you! Splitting those tops up within your dock by a gold or copper top also looks fantastic!

How long do ForeverSpin tops spin for? ForeverSpin tops are made with such precision that they can easily spin for many minutes. How long exactly? Aside from different metals spinning for different durations, the length is going to depend greatly on your skill. Picture a bicycle - how fast does it go? This will depend solely on who is riding it. Some people get too caught up on spin times. As soon as you get to hold a top in your hand and watch it level out for the first time, you'll learn that there is so much more to it than spin times.

Does spinning top weight matter? Which top spins for the longest? Yes, in fact, weight does play a large part in a spinning top’s spin time! As a rule of thumb, the heavier the top is, the longer it will spin. If spun all together, the magnesium top would tumble and stop first, followed by the aluminum top and then the titanium steel tops. The tungsten top stands out as the champion of our collection! If you’re passionate about spin times and want a long spin, our tungsten top is the way to go!

How do I get longer spins? As mentioned above, the weight of the top you spin will affect how long it can spin pretty significantly. The longer you want your spin to be, the heavier the top should be, with tungsten leading the pack by a wide margin.



If you prefer to stick to your favourite spinning top, there are some other things you can do! Make sure that the surface you are spinning on is as level as possible. ForeverSpin spinning tops are perfectly balanced and you wouldn’t believe how a table that isn’t level can impact your spin!



Secondly, you can change the surface that you spin on itself. A top will spin on glass longer than on wood and on our spinning base even longer than on glass! Find one here to dramatically increase your spin time!
