    Ya i have this case, where i can do sonic rev but not charge rev

    How did you learn sonic rev then? o-0

    idk..its just...weird..

    Well charge rev is hard to learn compared to sonic rev. But this poll is retarded. Any decent spinner can do both.

    I can do a sonic rev but the pen doesn't spin in a counter clockwise motion >< basically it just drops from one slot to another in a seesaw fashion. So for the time being I use things like passes or warped sonics to move down to 34

    Try doing it palm down, while slightly jerking your hand to get momentum. It helps me, and looks decent in combos.

    I know some people who learnt Sonic Fall before Charge reverse.

    Nope, I can do charge reverse, but not sonic reverse.

    I have the same problem as Nacho, exept I don't use warped sonics and stuff. I'll probabally be able to do it fine in a few days anyway. I can't get the Charge rev though. I'm to used to doing th charge motion.

    I can do sonic, and I haven't yet tried charge rev. off topic: I noticed that, while making a sonic during a combo, no one actually rest the pencil and flicks it off (as shown in tutorials), I mean how's that possible? You need a certain force to make he pencil travel, right? About charge normal, I can't do it only if I don't flick off the pencil.

    U have to be able to do a pressureless charge and a pressureless sonic. they are the real things that are actually used in combos. Mostly, the momentum in combos is already built up and one just continues it.

    I didn't find not using the thumbflap method harder than using it, I don't know why though. Also I can't do either charge rev or sonic rev, but I'm trying... Well I learned sonic rev, yay.

    I can do Sonic Rev really easily. But whenever I try to do a charge Rev, I just fail so hard.... I end up doing a normal charge.

    This was me my first 2-3 years of spinning still do not have it mastered. Charge rev is pretty hard but important to learn.

  16. lvk96
    Date: Fri, Oct 8 2010 10:49:39

    hmm i learnt them both at the same time, charge reverse was the harder one to master, but i mastered both of them just fine

    i can.

    My friend learned Rev Charge before normal charge xD So it was pretty funny seeing him try to go normal charge :P

    Its possible but it'll look choppy.. not that circular motion you want.

    i csn do both somewhat lol just started trying them

  21. JackyMacky
    Date: Wed, Oct 13 2010 02:49:11

    can do both perfectly. but i learned sonic reverse first....

  22. WhatsOfTheUp1
    Date: Fri, Oct 15 2010 22:40:24

    After a whole school day of practicing charge reverse, I finally got it down. I have to admit, though, the charge reverse was a bunch harder than the sonic reverse for me.

  23. Hello
    Date: Wed, Nov 17 2010 05:07:17

    i actually learned the charge rev before the sonic rev...charge rev was actually easy for me because I just kept doing it in school. Unlike with sonics which you drop every other time you try. For those of you who just can't do it, just practice over and over. Been there, done that. :D

  24. Knightpal
    Date: Wed, Nov 17 2010 17:54:26

    I do Sonic Reverse better than Charge Reverse. Idk why, but my index just can't get used to the motion. Still practicing. Sonic Reverse is pretty easy now. It's like I'm tossing it backwards xP

    I actually can do sonic reverse better than Charge reverse hehe. But it is ok

    i can do the charge reverse but i cant do a sonic reverse >.< edit: i lied i learned it much quicker then expected...so random..

  27. Soren
    Date: Mon, Dec 13 2010 18:44:40

    i can do both xD

  28. awtii64
    Date: Sun, Feb 13 2011 17:23:37

    i can do both but a few months ago i couldnt do charge rev but cud do sonic rev and twisted sonic rev, that helped me get the charge rev which i still have a bit of trouble w/

  29. the noodler
    Date: Mon, Feb 14 2011 02:38:44

    I can do both. I learned charge reverse first, then regular charge, then sonic rev. Regular charge took me longest to learn though o.0

    Date: Mon, Feb 14 2011 05:09:49

    This poll is retarted; it should have been "which did u learn first" because any decent spinner can do both

  31. jabog
    Date: Wed, Feb 16 2011 02:01:49

    i learned charge reverse b4 i learned regular charge so i can do both and both sonics and rise and fall they look really weird

  32. Reggi
    Date: Mon, Feb 21 2011 18:17:37

    I can do both the normal charge and charge rev, but I'm more used to doing the reverse than normal.. Is that weird? o_O

  33. Light
    Date: Mon, Feb 21 2011 19:09:28

    i can only do charge rev, not sonic rev. >_> but i love to do power tricks (which is worthless but i dont give a shit) bust >bust >bust >bust >bust > ta > fl ta cont x 6 > pinky spread x 2 yeee

    i can do the sonic rev. but not the charge rev.

  36. wings
    Date: Sun, Mar 27 2011 10:32:12

    I can do both ^_^ bec. the starting motion of sonic rev. is the same as charge rev.

    i cant do either:spin:

    Same here. I can do the basics of a sonic rev, but it's not...'circular' like a charge motion.

  41. WretchedRapture
    Date: Wed, May 4 2011 16:11:50

    I can sonic fall, but i've yet to get the hang of charge rev. Although I'm new to spinning, i've been "charging" with my pens for as long as I can remember. Going the opposite direction is frustrating >.<' haha

    Date: Mon, Jun 27 2011 08:37:38

    Charge rev. is fairly easy. I learnt it first :)

  43. Forest
    Date: Sat, Aug 6 2011 12:22:38

    i started learning sonic rev. by just flicking my hand down and using the momentum to sonic rev. and that was before learning the charge rev.(which im still working on ><) but later i kinda learned it without the flicking hand motion. i can also do sonic fall without knowing charge rev. :P

  44. UrbanNinja
    Date: Wed, Aug 10 2011 09:37:12

    i can do the sonic fall and the twisted sonic reverse but i guess i just couldn't quite get the hang of the charge reverse

    Charge rev was the first trick I learned, Sonic rev came naturally.

    Date: Thu, Sep 22 2011 18:50:58

    I'll try and do the Sonic Reverse for the next few days... And come back with my results lol.

    i learned sonic rev and then charge reverse continuously so yes :D

  50. phinamthi
    Date: Sun, Oct 2 2011 22:28:31

    Actually, I have a totally different problem. I thought I was doing a regular charge until my friend pointed out that it was charge rev. And for some reason, I can do normal sonic, but not sonic rev. I facepalmed.

  51. Eruption
    Date: Mon, Oct 3 2011 12:32:46

    no i can do both :D

  53. Glow

    charge rev just seems like a stranger motion to me than doing sonic rev. so only can do sonic reverse :(

    i can do both

  55. Caranto

    I can both, too. But i knew at first sonic reverse. you needn't charge rev. for sonic rev.

    I definitely can't seem to get my fingers to work toward the Charge Rev, and whenever I try to practice it, it's like my fingers don't want to cooperate, but I can do a Sonic Rev, though it is still a tad fussy. Sonic was my first "trick", and reverse Sonic, was pretty much learned just about the same time as the regular version. This was like 6 years ago though, something I picked up in high school before I learned that there was a community for pen spinning. But Charges I am just terrible with.

  58. Dimension
    Date: Sat, Feb 11 2012 23:52:19

    I found that learning a sonic reverse pretty much taught me charge reverse otherwise I would've never bothered learning charge rev

    I can't even do charge rev, well I can do it palm down really badly... sonic rev was pretty easy though, sonic fall was even easier for me, took 1 day

    Date: Tue, May 1 2012 08:14:27

    I can't do charge rev, but can do sonic rev, just not smooth as never really practice. Use passes. They look cooler and they are easier

    I'm the opposite lol xD I learned charge rev from a friend years ago because she was a lefty teaching me the charge but somehow I learned the reverse. And now I'm trying to do sonic reverse and it feels weird D=

  70. Zeta
    Date: Sat, May 12 2012 09:06:25

    I think ther is a good tutorial for the charge reverse on penspinning online. For charge reverse, try to do a charge and then pass to palm side to palm down, charge reverse palm down is really easy to do.

  71. Apocalyptic Shadows
    Date: Tue, May 22 2012 13:44:12

    Well for me I learned charge reverse as my first trick because I didn't notic a difference. After that I learnt sonic rev and then finally charge. Takes a bit of time getting used to it, cos my hand automatically wanted to do charge reverse

  72. samk
    Date: Wed, May 30 2012 10:37:46

    I can't do a charge rev. Only a sonic rev.

  75. PERSIST
    Date: Sat, Oct 6 2012 09:41:45

    Sonic rev isnt that hard to learn... well, it wasnt for me anyways. You just flick your hand back and lower ur middle finger, easier than the sonic imo, you don't need to use the thumbflap at all.

  76. hunterken48
    Date: Sat, Nov 24 2012 09:40:45

    am i the only one who learned rev. charge but not rev. sonic.. well i'm in the wrong thread..

  77. Milkwhale
    Date: Wed, Jan 8 2014 04:32:01

    I learned sonic rev before charge rev. I can do 1 charge rev, just not consistently. When I learned the sonic rev, I just mimicked the sonic's motion, and that motion just gave me a charge rev motion. o3o.
