This unusual top performs an acrobatic 180-degree flip mid-spin! It's an impressive trick, but it will take some skill and practice to master. The key is to gently sweep the bottom of the top with one hand, while the body of the top rotates up and over your other hand. Once you get really good, you can do it one handed. The technique requires a gentle touch and excellent timing but the end result is extremely satisfying. A tippe top on steroids. Handmade in Austria from ash and walnut. Practice required.

Ruby Q. ★★★★★

The 180-degree flip mid-spin genuinely surprised me the first time it landed, and now I keep trying to nail it consistently. You really do have to sweep the bottom gently, so it's more of a skill toy than a fidget. Worth the practice.

Mia ★★★★★

I've had this on my desk for a week and I still can't land the 180 flip every time, but when it does rotate mid-spin it's so satisfying to watch. My nephew figured it out faster than me, so it's a good gift for kids with patience.
