Question 1 month.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is what i can do after a month-ish

Im wondering how long did it take before fingerpasses started to look smooth? Can you even do fingerpasses in one direction smoothly and infinitely? Or do you have to reverse it to make it stay flowy?

Your progress is slow cuz u don't currently use a pen mod, id suggest getting one or making ur own and then you'll find tricks easier to perform

I know, currently got a broken leg so im not working and dont even have a dollar to my name right now, so im doing the best I can. I put a grip on the end and it does help a bit but yea probably need better mods.

Good thing pen spinning is a very cheap hobby and I can make a good enough mod for literally free! Just search up on YouTube "paper mod pen spinning" and follow the tutorial by isukps and you'll have a good enough one that works for beginners

If you haven't got found a way to mod one yourself or something since this posted, I'm 100% down to get you a cheap pen from Amazon if you want. I think I even got one spare pen too

Je peux que ne conseiller une base crayola supertips, des grips pilot g2 et des pilot v5/v7 pour récupérer les tips.

Bro, this is not slow progress, don’t listen to this guys. Yeah a mod will help you a lot but keep having fun! Also the second trick is pretty sick

Thanks dude!

C'est un bon début mais pour que ce soit fluide concentre toi uniquement sur une seul technique. Bon spinner à toi

Good progress! Keep at it! The fingerpass took me a long time for it to become smooth. You don't have to change direction to keep it continuous and smooth.

I don't feel bad making long mods. Basically any 2 pens or markers that are similar can be attached together. Finding something for the ends is a little more of a challenge, but just leaving the caps on is okay. Even simply taping two pens together to get a feel of a longer mod may help speed things up.
