    I'm just curious as to how everyone finds this, because personally when I try to spin in the morning during class or something, I can barely do Fingerpass and Sonics. xD Is the hand just naturally stiff when you wake up or something? >.> How do you all feel about morning spinning?

    im actually pretty familiar with this problem. for most of my life, i would wake up and do a test by making a fist and seeing how tightly i could clench it. quite often (if i still felt rather exhausted or drowsy) i would not be able to clench my fist very tight at all. kinda random but it was a good way to gauge how awake my body was. when i got into pen spinning i used to never spin in the morning because i couldnt seem to control the pen very well. i couldnt extend my fingers much and it just felt sloppy. eventually i started practicing every morning while waiting for the school bus to arrive, while riding the bus, and in homeroom. it would give me a good 45 minutes to warm up my hands every day. after a while it just became normal to spin in the morning and that awkward stiff period with my hands never lasted long... since then i havent been spinning in the morning though so the problem is still pretty prominent, but its better than before i started spinning.

    Yeah, I have the same thing. Normally I just spin later on when I've used my fingers more and they're warmed up and ready to go :P Also sometimes in the morning my hands are a bit slippery, which makes it hard to spin, specially rsvp mods and mods with more slippery barrels.

    It happens to everywhere in your body, Your hands, arms, legs, etc. need to warm-up in the morning.

    I can relate this problem too, like basically if I can't do 3 mid baks in the morning then I do fingerpasses and then stretch my hand then do mid baks again.

    It's okay for me, just need to crack my knuckles a little to stretch. IDK I'm still a noob.

    Nope. But as I go to school in the morning, I can spin well at about 8 every morning after I do lots of writing :)

    Osu! helps me warm up for pen spinning, and vice-versa.
