DjuiinoStar 10cm Spinning Top Base, -30cm Focal Length (Double Concave), 3.93" Large Gyroscope Station (Help to Prolong Your Average Spinning Time Greatly), DSTB-1005

Indispensable si tienes una perinola

If you have a top and want to have it stay in place when it starts spinning, this is perfect. It increases the spin time because it is glass and the concave shape keeps the top in the center. Once the top starts spinning, it will settle in the middle and stay there.

I ordered this base and 3 tops (in gold, silver, multi-colored), along with the glass base as more of a spur-of-the-moment lark than anything else. I had recently paid off a couple of large bills so I was mainly just treating myself to something "fun" for a change! lol The base is well-made and reasonably priced, just the thing to keep the tops spinning perfectly for several minutes. (word to the wise: When not in use, keep this base in the box; it will stay much cleaner, scratch-and dirt-free) and all the better to provide the perfect surface for spinning. I think I will take my new "toy" along on my next trip out to see my grandchildren...just to see how they like them! ;) FIVE STARS*****

For the price ($15 - $16), you can't beat it! This is a GREAT top base for beginning spinners who are serious. It will help you build skill without breaking your wallet and damaging your top, especially if you're learning using one of the more expensive spinning top brands/models. Because the base is made of concave glass, you shouldn't drop or throw your top onto it. Although pretty tough, the base can still chip or break if misused. Learn to start your spin with the top's tip on the base. (There are plenty of YouTube videos that will show you how.) This smooth, concave glass base will last many years with proper use and care. It will definitely prolong the duration of the spin versus the time you'll get from an average tabletop. And if you're tired of picking up your top after it fell off a flat surface, this base offers far less chasing, bending and searching. IF YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE BEGINNER, I recommend removing the base's protective film and putting the base back into the manufacturer's box and its bottom two layers of packing foam. This creates a square space in which you can spin your top without danger of it flying off the table. If you overspin and it bolts, the box's cardboard sides will act like guard rails. I would have given this product five stars but I'm not overly impressed with its outer silicone ring. While it does keep the glass base from sliding on any flat surface, and it prevents a top spinning normally on it from dropping off the edge, the ring doesn't fit the base precisely. When I tried to straighten out the silicone ring, it came off the glass. Although I finally got it back on and evened the edge on both sides, stretching it to fit wasn't easy. I'm not sure most buyers would notice the latter or even care. After all, the silicone ring does its job. It could be that I'm just a little neurotic about some things.

I use this with the powered spinner top. the silicone edge prevents from sliding.
