Parts Of The Spinning Top
To simplify talking about the spinning top we will agree on some
terminology. The top spins on the point or tip.
We will usually
call this the point. Sometimes we might slip and call it a tip.
Either way, this is the smallest part of the spinning top.
The other end of the spinning top is the crown. It's the
starting place where we wind the spinning top. Soon we will try
the winding part. Meanwhile, right below the crown is the
shoulder. The body of the spinning top is the part
between the shoulder and the tip.
