HOW TO PLAY
1

Wind the whip's cord tightly around the grooved body of the top before launching it onto a hard, flat surface.

2

Snap the whip to release the cord and set the top spinning as quickly and evenly as possible.

3

Keep the top spinning by flicking the whip's tip against its side at a steady rhythm.

4

In competitive play, two tops can be spun toward each other to see whose top knocks the other over or stops it first.

5

Whoever keeps their top spinning the longest, or wins the head-to-head knockout, takes the round.
