Peg Top
The top does take a bit of
practice to toss. The simplest directions I have found (these are for
soneone right-handed) is to hold the string with the right hand while
holding the top in the left hand with the bottom spindle pointing
toward the right. The string is overlapped slightly and then wound
with the string going clockwise if you viewed the top from the bottom.
The top is then held upside down (with the top in the palm of your
hand, the axis would be parallel to your knuckles and the spindle point
would be next to your thumb). The casting of the top consists of a
sweeping sidearm motion with the string yanked toward the thrower after
the top is released. For a left-handed person, the string would be
wound counter-clockwise.
The cost of a Peg Top is $4.85.
