It has an inlaid cermic ball at the tip to reduce friction during spin. This top is not your typical trying-to-spin-forever kind of top. V4 is heavy and dense. You might get ~1-2 minutes of spin with some practice. We like to use it as a 1 minute timer for short activities in our house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/DSC9659-169_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702047873\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV4 ships in a giftable 3D-printed case.

The single handed spin takes some practice. The key is to get the top to land with as little wobble as possible.  That's hard because it needs to jump onto the surface from your hand.  Practice makes perfect!  You should be able to get a 5 minute spin or longer in few tries (on glass).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/127634748?autoplay=0\u0026amp;loop=1\u0026amp;color=ffffff\u0026amp;title=0\u0026amp;byline=0\u0026amp;portrait=0\u0026amp;muted=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/MG_4261_1_54d2b90d-e610-4866-b746-6d3c05c05d10_1024x1024.png?v=1701184494\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease 05\/12\/2015 : V1\u003cbr\u003eV1 is a machined piece of solid of brass. The tip is made of precision ground ultra-hard tungsten carbide with ±0.0001\" diameter tolerance.

The skinny part of the shaft gives you more torque but requires a stronger grip while the wider area of the shaft is good for beginners to get a feel for the top. Be warned...this is not an easy top to spin, but once you get it, it'll spin for a really long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CW\u0026T","offers":[{"title":"Ti V4","offer_id":51735579394363,"sku":"ST04-Ti-RE","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V1 (Limited Edition of 5)","offer_id":51735579427131,"sku":"BST01","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brass V4","offer_id":51735579459899,"sku":"BST04","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ti V4 Green Cyan Fade","offer_id":51735579492667,"sku":"ST04-Ti-GCF","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"V3","offer_id":51735579525435,"sku":"BST-V3","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V2 (Limited Edition of 15)","offer_id":51735579558203,"sku":"BST02","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/greatcallathletics.com\/products\/spin-top","provider":"Great Call Athletics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
