Lately when I have been spinning my buster it has started to seem really light... Is this just because my fingers are getting stronger or is it because I have pretty big hands (around the length of my buster) does this mean I should move up to a heavier mod? Or stay with my buster which now seems short and light haha... And please don't give me the whole lecture about how light pens give your spinning style. And I do power tricks I don't just spin it for the sake of having a heavy pen

spin a lighter mod (like metallic comssa) for a few days after doing this, buster will then feel heavy again (sun)

You could also try putting electrical tape or any other grippy tape around it and then pull. :) -

I use an anyball to get signos out of waterfalls. Get a good grip on the tip and twist it out. If if it Penwish made, then i'm not sure, he may hot glue the signo tips in. In response to your signature @Dimension, he found a bunch of old ones he had.

According to Psychology, you experienced sensory adaptation. So just follow i.suk's suggestion: acquire sensory adaptation with a metallic comssa. (sun) I'M A NERD HURRRR HURRRR :trollface: -

You Only need spin a light mod for half an hour to get the feeling back, not a couple of days.

Yeah, because everyone adjusts in the same amount of time. :rolleyes: -

I actually adjust in about 7 minutes, because I trained myself to be used to sudden weight changes, but whatever. 30 minutes will get your brain used to the weight that you are spinning almost certainly, trust me. -

regarding my original post which prompted the 'time taken to adapt discussion', ''a few days'' was to ensure effect is evident for basically everyone (sun), even if it's their first time...a rough guide, not meant to be taken exactly as stated haha tbh, 1 day is enough, since if you try 2 days, your hand's weight perception 'resets' to its original state when you sleep (it does that for me anyway, usually)

After spinning for like 3/4 hour straight, I started to feel really light and like a much lighter mod, like an comssa. What should I do when this happens? Stop spinning it? Thanks.

well this happens to a lot of people. your choices are 1. switch to spinning lighter mods for a while until the buster feels heavy again or 2. add more weight to the buster... (there are more then 2 options but these are the most obvious) i suggest option 1. i often switch between intermediate and heavy mods when practicing. like, i will spin vgg mod for a while, then i will spin waterfall for a while. also, these kind of questions can be easily answered if you ask in the shoutbox. i suggest asking before posting next time ;)

Your fingers got used to the buster, try a comssa, you will still feel it a lot lighter, also buster is heavy enough LOL

Upgrade to a heavier mod.

just because it "feels" light doesn't matter, you still get the benefit from the weight. I like it when my KTs feel light cuz, they still move smooth cuz of the weight but I feel like spinning is effortless. If you really enjoy the heavy feeling you gotta spin light stuff for a while and then come back, but really you shouldn't care that much about the "feel", worry about landing the tricks and having smooth style.
