Winding the top 1) Wind the string around the cap of the top (or tie a loop and place it over the cap) and pull down to the tip. 2) Wind string forward, tightly and without overlap. 3)Place string between first and second fingers, anchored by button. 4)Hold top upside down with point straight up.

Basic throwing technique  Extend arm straight to side, waist high.Swing arm across body, but no further. Do not bend wrist or elbow. Do not yank back on top.  Top will release on its own.  Do not aim at floor - keep swing level, waist high or just below. 

A simple trick: The Skyrocket

A little more difficult: Wire-walker
