RSVP, G3, marvy marker, CT, KT... check out all the mods on wiki. The barrels for those are pretty good. I believe this should be in the general mod questions http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=23

so generally thicker bodies are easier to spin?

Not exactly, it depends on the weight of the pen too. Like a thicker barrel is good for buster because its heavier, but a thinner barrel like the ballsign is good because its very light. Pretty weird having a ballsign barrel for a buster, or a supertip for ballsign.

So then as an individual who prefers to mod with higher momentum, i should try this with thicker barrels? Does spinning a higher momentum mod with a thinner barrel make it more difficult than to spin a high momentum mod using a thicker barrel? -

It's easier to lose control of your pen when youspin heavier mods with thinner barrels. What is all this momentum business? Momentum changes based on the weight and the speed at which you're spinning. Therefore a mod can have more than 1 momentum depending on the latter of those factors. So don't refer to weight as momentum.

Meh, I had a modified Mr. Somsak (super heavy with thin barrel) Combos were harder to be smooth, but power tricks like busts were much easier (esp. slow busts). Just make a real quick and real heavy mod with a thin barrel an just try it. -

I like Miffy and my MIffy Subs (a bit longer than miffy), its white and its feeling great. I dislike supertip..its not as smooth feeling as miffy, white comssa. I prefer miffy over comssa because its a mess getting comssa cleanXD SuperPirat is allright if u need grippy bodys, i dont do thats why i dont use them, i sub super pirat with ulman tk bodys if i intend on spinning a mod (i.e. iv got 1pirate ks for spin with ulman and 1for the collection with pirat). Colorella Duo are great bodys if u need it colored, supertip caps as body is allright...best use for supertips imoXD I could continue with lets say watercolour body because its rare...but it wouldnt help u at all. There are many barrels, try some out and choose urself different people like different stuff, theres no ultimate barrel for everybody. Its the same with weight of ur pens, though in this case i came to the conclusion that 20g+ is bad and length is more important (depending on hand/finger size) then weight:) ps: if u spin mx for some weeks u wont prefer heavy mods anymore :)

depends on your hand for big hands a thicker barrel and the same for a smaller hand but a smaller barrel
