Mader Kreiselmanufaktur Rainbow Thunderbolt Wooden Spinning Top

The Rainbow Thunderbolt from Mader is a beautifully handcrafted spinning top in a stunning rainbow stripe design, with an inset metal tip for durability on any surface. The Thunderbolt is one of the most challenging spinners to master compared to others such as the Large Arabella at difficulty level 6, but once you get the hang of it, it spins beautifully.

This spinning top is crafted by hand from sustainable native hardwoods in Austria, it has a great tactile feel to it with the natural grain, and feels a nice weight in the hand. Perfectly balanced, this spinning top will spin for ages once mastered, and is made from solid European maple wood. Definitely one for the more experienced spinners, and recommended for children of 6 years + due to its technical difficulty. If you love a challenge, the Thunderbolt is for you! A wonderful addition to your Mader spinning top collection, mesmerising to watch and you just can't help giving it a spin! Team up with a large Mader spinning plate to keep this spinner contained.
