The trick in steps
Hold the spin top in your throw hand the same way as for any other spin top throw.
Move your throw hand right in front of you and flip the spin top 90 degrees, with the tip pointing towards your non-throw hand.
Drop the spin top down, then pull your arm up to throw it into the air while keeping it horizontal.
Grab the string with your non-throw hand and catch the spin top on the string.
Make a counterclockwise circle with both hands, then pull your hands apart to throw the spin top back up onto your hand.
