    Raimo, Eban and Crow. Kr4zy is pretty smooth too though.

    s777, Potage, KiRer are also really smooth. It's tough to say who's the smoothest.

    I think there are many spinners who are all incredibly smooth. They are all amazing, so I don't think it really matters who is slightly slightly smoother. They are all beastly.

    Bonito

    supawit (for 'faster' smooth spinning) raimo, kr4zy (for 'slower' smooth spinning)

    eh... im a pretty big s777 and bonkura fan but its at this point in time its btween s777, raimo and kr4zy. i know kr4zy is really in a higher level of smoothness. but its hard to say because then we have to take into accoutn the tricks each pull off. s777 does harder tricks. i just dont feel faster spinners give off the same smoothness in their combo. eg if i had to show a random smoothness, i would choose a slow spinner over a fast one.

    Well thats cause its much harder to spin smooth cause your working against momentum or something? idk The second part of that may not be true.

    there shouldnt even be a question to who the smoothest spinner is. its by default bonkura.

  24. Rarity

    Kr4zy is the smoothest spinner for me. Bonkura is 2nd

    In my opinion, if spinners want to spin smooth, everyone is smooth, but some spin faster and not smooth but with speed. Just like the collabs of smoothness, everyone's smooth. In my opinion, Bonkura or how about ShadowPersant's old videos? Eriror is fast though, and sometimes smooth when he wants to ;), lol.

    For me the smoothest is s777 hehehe (my opinion)

    kr4zy sure is smooth, but also simple breakdown but i kinda hate smoothness and well, cam does half of the job anyway. Supawit is damn "smooth"

  33. Mage In Black
    Date: Tue, Sep 28 2010 23:59:59

    I'd say supa or raimo. Both. Really. I agree with gisele. The type of camera being used and its settings can help give off the illusion of being smoother, depending on blur type and lighting, etc.

    Yea it's true. The case of WC R2 Smoothness can be brought up. Joey was pretty smooth but his camera was pretty high quality and the fps was different. Hence he lost though it was not the main reason. About the whole smoothness thingy. It's really hard to say because all the technicalities of pen spinning (Smoothness, Speed, Variety, Control, Difficulty) are really connected. Smoothness in normally linked to speed, variety and difficulty. Speed wise, If you're talking slower spinners people like Kr4zy, Raimo, Bonkura and S777 are really smooth but some of the fastest spinners can be considered smooth as well. They're combo has a constant flow to the spinning and it doesn't break in difficult tricks and linkages. Hence spinners like Gisele8 and Dongza can be thought to be mighty smooth as well. For variety, it more in terms of variety of speed, like how spinners can vary the speed smoothly so S777 and Shadowserpent would be great in this category. You can also think in the terms of variety in style an I can only think of one spinner who does this oh so smoothly, Eriror. Difficulty wise, If you are talking power tricking, there are many, Spinnerpeem, Supawit, Crew, Evolution........ but linkages, I would say Raimo, S777, Bonkura, Bonito (insert all the JEB spinners names here) would be here. I would say there's no smoothest spinner. Like the discussion we had on v3 about the best spinner and the analogy on artist being brought up. Theres no best artist. So there is not best scenic artist, abstract artist or whatever. Even though S777's name appeared so many times in the chunk above, there's still myriad of way to look at this. If you take into account the artistic side of PSing Stuhl can be thought of as smooth in terms of spinless isolation stuff. and the discussion goes on. EDIT: Sorry if I didn't add some of other deserving spinners name in here as well

    Yo g I'm not saying I saw you doing just TA and TA harmonics on video, I'm saying I saw those simple tricks in your simple combos back when you first started, g.

    every1 thinks slow when they think smooth... spinners like supawit and eriror can compete in smoothness too.... just because they spin fast doesnt mean they dont spin "at a constant pace"
