Spinners, or spinning tops, have always been a popular toy choice among children and young teens. Over the years, we see improvements and refinements of the toys, and they are so different from the first ones introduced to the market a few decades ago, they are much more fun, and so much more challenging now. It is also perfect for parents who want to give a toy that can easily be played anywhere and anytime, given their small sizes. Tempted to get one? Read our guide to see which one you should get.
How to play one?
There is something fascinating about playing a spinner – looking at one spinning at such a fast speed, and trying to capture the beauty of it. In the past, it was driven by a string wrapped around it, and how you ‘won’ was that the last one standing would be, obviously, the winner.
Then we see an ‘evolution’ of the toy. The design has kept changing. Even how we ‘launch’ it is now different, instead of using a string, we use a blaster. So much cooler.
All you need to do is pull the trigger, and the spinner will be shot from the blaster and start spinning. It may sound easy, but you have to take into account the angle and timing in order to get to a winning (or spinning) start.
The rule has been relatively the same. The last one spinning will be declared the winner; however, it is much more than just an endurance challenge, you now have an arena, and two or even more spinners are supposed to knock each other down, adding another meaning to ‘outlasting’ in the game of playing spinners.

How to get it going in the best way possible?
To get your spinners spinning as fast as possible, you need to charge the power booster several times. It is possible that one spins at a speed as high as 10,000 rpm. With such speed, you will face little competition.
Don’t forget that speed isn’t the only winning factor, though. Some spinners may not spin as fast but they can last longer, so be prepared to have a few strategies up your sleeve.
Design
Pay particular attention to the color and shape of the top and the design of its blaster. If your child likes the design, for sure they will spend more time playing it!
The Type of Blaster
There are different types of blasters on the market. Most of the models have a safety device that prevents the trigger from being released until the spinner is properly slotted.
The age of your child
The age of the children is also something that needs to be taken into account. Some blasters are more aggressive and more powerful and have parts that can be swallowed, so they are for older kids. Be sure to pick one that’s more age friendly for your child.
The price
There are many models at different price points, so there’s one for you regardless of the budget. The advantage with Spinner Mad is that the models available are offered at attractive prices.
