Can it be thrown no-spin style?

it's nearly impossible to throw this clumsy thing straight like a spear. I've tried, it will certainly begin to nose dive immediately. spin is the only launch technique that works for the Torpedo

Yes. I do it quite often and I do get accurate hits. You'll need more arm action to do so and your release and wrist action has to be just right. If your wrist action is off with a normal knife, the point will either be up or down. With these, they just won't stick in the target because of the weigh. These adjustments do screw me up when I go back to a conventional throwing knife, however. I think that these are better suited for someone who has the mechanics of throwing down well.

You can but its not accurate at all then. It's better to just throw it so it does spin. It devistates everything. My friends and me bought two more and destroyed a tv with it

Yes, with practice. I learned to throw no-spin, so it was a little easier but it does NOT throw like a knife, so there's some adjustments. My only complaint isn't really a complaint, but an observation. When this this thing hits on it's side, instead of a point, it can rebound with incredible energy and distance, so beware. Also, you might want to paint it a bright color; it can bury itself in dirt, grass etc. quite effectively.

If thrown just right, you can get a straight path toss. It takes some practice though.

Get on YouTube and watch the Cold Steel Torpedo videos! With practice, these things have amazing accuracy, and can be very lethal. They break huge ice blocks, concrete blocks, and more. There is a homade video where a guy is hitting a small water bottle on a stump from 50-60 foot away over and over. Amazing tool!

...ya gotta throw it with strength underhand....it will fly Torpedo style...its a combo of a FIRM TOSS and letting it SLIP out of your fist at the right moment...try it first with a target right in front of you at a really short distance...PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Not really. Too light, if you want to throw it with force then the air is enough to cause them to not fly stably. Plus you see how in the picture the thickest point goes straight down the blade to the point? All 6 of mine are 1 - 4 mm off center, and from the middle cutout of the blade on one side it is 3.5mm to the blade edge and 4.5mm on the other side. You might be able to throw it no spin at like 10-15 feet into Styrofoam but throw it with any force and it's more up to the air lol.. With wind I'd have to see it in person if someone said they could throw it no spin into something from that distance.. Especially something hard. Not really.

No. Spinning the top (or any section) unscrews the whole thing. And any slight turn of any part makes the whole thing unstable and flimsy.

No - it is not free spinning - you need to spin the whole arm to tighten the arm to the existing pipe.

There is no resistance. It spins freely. You have to anchor yourself to a doorway or put both hands on the wall. By doing this you have control over how much you may want to twist.

This is a tactical weapon. Anyone who knows anything about a tactical approach would advise against throwing your weapon. If you miss, your target now has access to your hardware. I am sure if you wanted to throw it, it will fly. But I have not thrown mine.

Just go to YouTube and enter " how to throw a cast net" and there are many videos on it. Seeing is easyer to understand the trick to spinning the net

No, and it isn't really a finger hole either. To throw the knife you either hold it by the blade (the edges aren't sharp, only the point) or by the handle (using the same technique as on the blade) depending how far from your target you are. There is a technique to throw without spin but it requires a knife with more mass but they cost much, much more. Here's a link to the tutorial of how to throw these knives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG4jO-l8tGU Hope that helps!

If you mean rotate clockwise or counter clockwise, no. But it does swing from side to side with a great range of motion.

No -- there is a trim adjustment on the controller that eliminates any spinning.

Yes most definitely. And you can use them in the traditional position as well, without them spinning. I hope this helps!!!

Throws in same pattern every time. You can purchase a wobbler kit that will give random throws everytime.

Probably if you laid it side ways . In any event, it is a beautiful kind if heavy throw. We loved it so much, we bought 2 of them.

I does not spin like some that I have seen on TV. You can click a button to make the barrel loosen, but it will not spin on on it's own.

Never tried it. Don't think so though. Spins very fast and gets lots of water out. I still highly recommend

Yes....it does come out like that. You just spin it until it is the way you want it. I usually give it about five good spins to get it barely damp.

Yes it can. With very strong winds, it might spin on its own; but it generally requires a little force from a person.
