Tips
  • Hold the metal cylinder and rotate the rubber stopper over your head. The speed of rotation depends on the string length. So, you can adjust the length during the ball rotation by moving weight up and down.
  • This can work with varying weights, but the stopper is 100g, so weights in the 200-500g range works well.
