Advanced Tricks / Spreads

A Spread is an aerial trick where the pen is tapped towards one end, causing the pen to spin (at least) 0.5 revolutions in the air before either being caught or transitioning to another Spread. Spreads can be done with fingers 1, 2, 3, and 4. The pen does not go around any of the fingers; it simply is an aerial and is always tapped from the palm side of the hand. The aerial spin can either be horizontal or vertical. Video Tutorial by Sumpinoykid Video Tutorial Part 1 and Part 2 by KTrinh93 Video tutorial by ellusion67

Is there such a thing as a spread reverse where you tap the reverse side of the pen so it spins in the opposite direction?

[video=youtube;gzytuNlW9vU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzytuNlW9vU[/video] At the end of the video, there is a spread where the rotation of the pen is changing. Sort of a reverse. This means spreads harmonic could be done too.

The easiest would be the pinky spread palm up not vertically. Start with the TA.~ indexspread. -

personally i think spreading horizontally is easier and looks cooler.. i explained y i think the horizontal spreading is easier in my vid but if u didnt watch it yet i said because the pen has somewhere to sort of land (on top of ur index, middle, and ring fingers) so that the pinky spread can be executed easier.. again this is all just my opinion -

for some reason i can not do spread from the TA release however i can do it from TA air or Twisted sonic air, both go into the pinky spread and i try to end with a twisted sonic motion however i usually end up either not catching it or having to much or to little rev and it doesnt go in
-

I find spreads really fun to do! The most difficult thing i find for me is land it in a slot. I need to start figuring out different ways to start the spread and end it.

NiA do spreads in what way? Horizontally or Vertically? Because I like the way he does spreads and it seems like I can't imitate his spread style. So much air and so much cont spreads!

NiA does his spreads closer to horizontal, CreW does his closer to vertical. for me, to do aerial spreads requires my hand to be more vertical than normal continuous spreads. for normal spreads, i prefer hand horizontal for pinky, vertical-ish for ring, middle and index Oo" the key to doing more spreads is control and staying calm, it is also easier if the spreads don't leave your pinky as much... -

@i.suk I think I get what you're pointing out with the horizontal = pinky vertical = 1,2,3 LOL. We do the same..XD but, what bothers me is the "Air"?? I can't launch it properly like NiA's. Any advice?

Wait, what do you mean? Like, the phasing is fast? Because the more the Pen doesn't leave my pinky much, the spread is hard to control..T_T I can only do 9. And I'm not satisfied. T_T my normal Pinky spread is ranging from 3-5. :( Also, I'm having a hard time when I spread in the Index, linking it in a combo. Heeelp? D: -

i think i.suk means that if you do spreads so that the pen doesnt get too much air, then its easier to control the spread. it seems the opposite for you.. if you make the pen spread higher above your hand, then you need to put more rotations on the pen while its in the air and that is harder to control and keep consistent -

look at my tutorial on pinky spreads and look at how i put my pinky in relationship to my other fingers esp my ring finger. i think i specifically mention why that happens and how to avoid it.. basically your pinky shouldnt be that far out from ur ring finger to make that slot.. my pinky is always like right up against my bent down middle finger.. like its parallel to it so that theres no space between my pinky and ring for the pen to fall in to -

there are different styles to spreading.. some people do them almost vertically (kUzu i think?) but its more common to have your hand tilted slightly diagonally or completely flat -

flat is much easier. supawit and crew tend to do more of a flat diagonal spread while peem and fire@fox tend to do more of a vertical spread.

agreed.. flat-diagonal is easiest.. i cant remember seeing peem do spreads vertically though o_O -
Date: Wed, Sep 15 2010 23:08:42
peem does a flat-diagonal. and id say that for beginners start with vertical or flat-diagonal. try to then change positions of the hand so u can do all sorts of spreads. that's how i got spread fall. ^__^

what? i'd start off with flat or flat diagonal... imo vertical spreads are too hard to control. -
Date: Thu, Sep 16 2010 06:29:02
I find that mainly horizontal with a slight vertical tip is the easiest way to do spreads. Btw, it's not just randomly hitting the pen up, the pen has a controlled receive and release.

PSVortex wrote: what finger is the hardest to do spreads with.
For me, it's my index. It's the only finger that I haven't been able to do 8+ spreads on. Middle is next hardest for me because I can't ever move my hand to the correct position (probably due to lack of practice). -

usually thumbaround to index spread before pinky spreads, it helps set up the angle and finger positioning for air busts, usually twisted sonic bust or normal busts -

how can you tell that you will definitely tap the left side of the pen while it is spinning in the air?

Date: Wed, Dec 22 2010 22:10:26
I'm having troubles trying to time when my pinky or whatever finger catches the pen, because sometimes it's like straight and not sideways so I mess up doing the spread. Any way to fix this? Any timing kinda exercises and whatnot?

What do you mean by "straight and not sideways"? Also, this comes with *drumroll* practice! Spreads do take a while to get used to especially when doing them continuously. It takes practice to get used to the amount of force and the timing to get spreads to look nice and smooth. -
Date: Mon, Dec 27 2010 12:58:59
Like, you know how you have to catch the pen on one finger? It has to be sideways, like your hand goes from up to down, and the proper way to catch the pen is when the pen is going from left to right. But sometimes I catch it where the pen is up to down as well, and I can't catch it or know how long until I catch it.
-
Date: Mon, Dec 27 2010 18:23:21
I find spreads hard for some reason. :/
-
Date: Mon, Dec 27 2010 22:29:29
do middle spreads, its the easiest since thats the longest finger. Make sure your hand is flat, not sideways. Curl your middle finger. Repeat that strait>curl movement every spread. Land the pen softly. Don't add too much air.
-
Date: Mon, Dec 27 2010 23:41:28
Imo, spreads get harder as they go up the hand from the pinky. I can easily do pinky spreads continuously but ring is harder (but still easy), middle is more difficult and index I can barely do. For some reason, I find that longer fingers are tougher to do spreads with because you have to move them more to get them out of the way of the spread so the pen doesn't suddenly stop when it hits your finger. That's just me.

As far as I know a spread is a Fl Around. So Index Spread would be a Fl Index Around. Correct me if I'm wrong.

general advice on spreads: use a long, heavy mod (like cyl, vicgotgame and variations etc) with COP (centre of pen) marked with a piece of electrical tape of contrasting colour (e.g. black tape on white mod), and spin over a background of contrasting colour to the pen (e.g. white mod over a dark bg) i find it easier to do large numbers of cont middle, ring and pinky spreads with the palm of the hand facing up/tilted, vertical hand is better for index spreads/spread fall variations, aerial spreads though imo; experiment with different angles for yourself and find what works better stay calm and hit the pen very close to the afore-marked COP, do not hit pen high into the air. the finger that you are doing the spreads with should be slightly curved/bent when it hits the pen for most spreads, it is easier to link into them with thumbaround > index spread > *insert spread on middle, ring or index finger etc*, (although it is also possibe to link from busts on different fingers, thumbaround release, devil's shadow 34-34, spiderspin, palmspins, pun kan and so on)

physics dictates it's pretty hard to change the movement of the pen much once it's already flying :P the control comes from how you hit the pen in first place, try to hit the pen up very little...the more the pen leaves your finger, the less control you have also maybe try it with waterfall/cheat comssa with centre of pen marked, or some other medium-heavy weight DC mod. mx is quite hard to do spreads with -

spreed is a very useful trick in top combo! YOU help me a lot!
-
Date: Tue, Mar 15 2011 01:02:53
Thought I'd put some input here if i haven't yet. To get it smoother with less bouncing. Try doing TA air/ release or w.e you call it to spider spin. So you can practice having it land softer and have more control/balance on when it lands. Oh this is for having the hand upwards btw. I like to kind of pull my finger in as i release the pen from a spread. I don't think weight matters much for learning to spread, but dc and a soft body helps. The further the pen hits off the COG, the faster it will move around your finger during a spread.

So first you do a shadow but don't catch it. Instead of catching it you bump it into the air. Then you do the part of a spread where you hit it with your finger. Than catch in any finger slot. Hoped you liked this and I hope people will use it.

well, it is an aerial trick so the pen should probably fly a bit...but if you mean it goes flying away from you, thats probably because you havent learned the trick yet. where exactly is the pen flying? and spreads arent exactly easy, so itll take quite a bit of practice to execute them with good control -

Far was simply just showing you what a single Pinky Spread looks like. You should start learning it with the TA in my opinion. Once you master the TA version, you can easily do it without TA. For example Charge T1-> Powerpass 12-34 ~ Pinkyspread.

Help! When i spread palm up, my pen keeps hitting my other fingers, or i hit it too hard with my pinky. But when i spread palm vertically, it is easier to get 1, but very hard to control multiples. Currently i can do 1 spread consistently using palm verical, 0 using palm up. however sometimes, with pure dumb luck, i get up to 3 with palm up... Any tips?

do the finger that ur are doing spreads with "hit" the pen or "lift" the pen ??

@Eazy are you doing spreads fingers extended or curled in? Generally for pinky spreads you curl in your fingers to keep it out of the way. Im pretty sure it also works with other fingers if u can extend them individually. If not, work on finger flexibility so you can hyper extend far enough to keep them out of the way. As for doing more than 1, just practice a lot :P

I suppose it is more like a lift than a hit because it doesn't take a lot of force. It is kind of like "catching" it with your finger and then lifting your finger up so that the pen flies off. It is important to note that it is a very controlled release and therefore you should not try to hit the pen so that it wont spin off in some random direction. I think of it as hooking the pen with your finger and then letting it fly off. -

Apologies for Double-Posting, but I want to bump this Thread. Is there any way to find out the Correct Timing to know when to hit the pen up a 2nd time for the 2nd Spread? I find it quite hard to find that Timing.

It is, I thought the timing was one of the most hard parts of the spread. I practiced this to hold the pen in the slot I want to spread it, and only trew it one time and catched it back in the same slot. If you practice this, you are going to see you start to find the timing. If you can do this without mistakes, try then 2 times or more. -

Okay, thanks. I will do just that and see if it helps. -

Hey guys, actually i'm having some difficulities on learning spread. I watched some videos many times, but i still don't get it. I missed a lot when i try to tap with my pinky. And when it lands on my pinky i don't really get it how to release it. Any tips? Or a bit of teaching maybe
-
Date: Thu, Jan 17 2013 17:47:03
basically do a ta -> ta release to practice, once you can do that consistent, then start lightly tapping the pen with your pinky (since that one's the easiest to start with when dealing with spreads), you want to kinda hook it with your fingertip while tapping it (it'd be easier to show you, but I'm no going to do that so hopefully you understand what I mean). If the pen isn't flying towards your face when doing this, then you're doing it wrong. Once you get it using your pinky try switching between fingers to get a better feel of the difference between them, after that start working on continuous.

Do a ta release with a small height. This will give your more control over the pen. Stick out your pinky and hook the pen. Practice hooking the pen over and over again. Once you get the hang of that start hooking lightly and pushing the pen up at the same time. If you can't do it. That's alright. Keep practicing that part over and over again and you'll eventually get it. If that still doesn't help go on youtube and have a look at some slomos.

It's bit hard hooking the pen, i think the hardest part from learning spread is hooking the pen. Btw, thanks for the tutor. Oh, and is spread consider as a powertrick?
-
Date: Sat, Jan 19 2013 07:17:31
yes hooking can be hard and yes spread is a power trick

Whenever I try to do a pinky spread, instead of catching/tapping the pen with my pinky, the pen just hits the knuckles of my other fingers. Any tips?

You need to get the correct amount of timing to make the pen land on your Pinky Finger. This comes with practice. -

How long will it take to be able to do multiple spreads? I can do a pinky spread after a ta release perfectly, but never more than once.

It's pretty easy to amass to more spreads. Don't do the TA release, it wastes time. Just place it in the pinky position and do spreads. Keep doing it and catch it in the right place. Then do another one. When you make the gap quicker and quicker until it is gone, you have mastered it. -
Date: Sun, Jun 30 2013 19:16:40
Yeah you probably aren't using enough force. Just keep practicing.

After watching some tutorials, this is depressing. I don't get how the pinky spread is done... I'm not sure which part I don't get it, I tried to start off with a aerial thumbaround suggested by KTrinh93 and tried to just start off from the pinky but I can't get it to do a aerial spin which allows me to catch it.

When learning tricks, be consistent and use the same mod everytime you practice.

Well in order to be consistent, wouldn't he need to be able to do it on any mod? Or at least on a number of mods. If he needs precision, then he has to be able to spread on more then just one mod. Spreads are relatively easier when you spin a longer/heavier mod. But i always try to do them on pencils/regular pens. If you can spread on those, you can spread on anything. I also find that a softer body, just makes everything better. It just feels nice. Try practicing on the Joey Dc mod of your @Court34. It has a nice smooth body -

What's the point of being consistent if you can't even master the trick? If you keep switching mods, you will have to keep adjusting to the new weight, length, etc. Learn the trick on one mod and that will make it easier for you to be consistent afterwards. -

True. But then what you said about consistency in your first post would be incorrect. Learn the trick on one mod then be consistent and master it, is what you are saying if i am not mistaken. -

Your whole idea of consistency of a trick is different than mine. Learn the trick and be able to execute it flawlessly on that one mod before switching to another one. -
