Trompo

A Peitschenkreisel (local terminology also Doppisch, Dildop, Pindopp, Dilledopp, Triesel, dance button) is a child's toy. A top, generally provided with a cross section in the shape between U and V and horizontal tire is turned on standing on the pointed side. This can be between two palms, with an upwardly stem and two fingers or classically done with a coil wound around the roundabout thong. It rotates once, it can be with a little skill held by continued lashes in constant rotation. If this creates the longest, wins.

The game is played on a firm flat surface.

It is a skilled whip bat quite possible to lead his gyro in certain figures, or skip to let small obstacles, slopes or stairs or send down and the like.

In the period between the two world wars, there were events in which mastery of the whip gyroscope was demonstrated and compared playful.
