    I am wondering which pen I should use? I need a pen to help my smoothness something easy to make and not very good. Should I use rsvp mx BICtory or something else???

    imo a long and heavy pen makes ur spinning much more smooth at all

    Lighter mods help with control which may improve your smoothness. RSVP MX sounds like a good option; you can always try comssa too. But keep in mind that it's a terrible thing to do if you constantly switch mod weights.

    practice makes you smoother, more so than any mod but i suggest learning with balanced dc that isn't too light or heavy first

    Since your a beginner get a light pen like an mx, then just practice. Practice really makes perfect, then when you move onto a heavier pen, your spinning will be much smoother

    in terms of mods, try a g3 based mod. I learned my "style" after constant use of my g3 mods. If you want you can use an rsvp based mod, but for me a single sided mod helped me out a ton. Then you can switch to a more balanced mod, or a heavier mod to really make a combo really good

    @deathpickle, Make a Poppin 700 Mod ;) It's an easy mod to make, and has an optional feature that makes a quiet "rattle" noise whenever you AREN'T spinning smoothly. I use mine all the time. I find it incredibly helpful.

    Smoothness comes with experience. Its simple as that. Medium weight pens are best, like Metal Comssas or RSVP MXs.

    I found it really helps control and smoothness to just use an unsharpened pencil with little rubbers on each end (like in my profile photo, if it's not too small to see). It's really light and short, so you have to be precise. mpc
