    Hey, when ever i try to do a bak fall or quadruple infinity my ring finger moves with my pinky. I tried to stretch it out, use tape but its still locked together. How can i create pinky independence?

    i think u should just give ur pinky a workout my gym teacher during the volleyball lesson showed us a finger excercise i think its pretty good for penspinning u put presure on your fingers and just curl them up then uncurl them then i started doing this excercise with only my pinky my ring finger goes with it but i dont apply pressure to it

    i spin books on my fingers and i can use my pinky, if i used a text book and spined it for about 1 minute and let it rest and repeat do you think that will help?

    just practice moving it with no pen or anything you need to give it some time with training cuz your body has to pretty much grow atrophied nerve cells, they are kinda like a muscle which you never used, just be patient with it and work on it regularly

    Don't listen to any of the above replies. I have the same thing as you. I've been spinning for almost 3 years now and during those years I've tried to train it but nothing helps.

    It just comes with practice. If you can do sonic 34-23. There should be no reason for it to stick together. Try this exercise. Spread your hand on the table. Then tap the table with your index finger only, then middle, then ring, then pinky. The index and middle will be easy. Ring and pinky are hard. By the end of it. Your pinky should be the only one tapping the table. Same with ring.

    It seems impossible, i know, and I think i had a similar feeling when I was trying to learn bakfall at the ringbak stage. However, i'm pretty sure everyone has this, your fingers (ring and pinky) can never be truly and fully independent that i know of, as far as moving down pinky and not ring goes. You just need to practice ringbak a ton, took me forever, but you'll eventually get it down regardless of a lack of independence, and at least gain enough that you need in the process of trying. it does take a lottt of failure for that one, though, but it's worth it. good luck, and never break your fingers or do stupid stuff to get independence, its just that there is a very small margin for error in ringbak type stuff as compared to index, mid, etc. you can still do it just fine if you practice. :D

    i found my pinky a lot more "independent" and stronger after i played the piano for like.. 3 years. maybe you can practice stretching out your pinky alone every now and then because that is what happened a lot during piano for me.

    @aznpenspinner Practice some tricks in that area of your hand. This post has been made before btw...... Try like inverse sonic, twisted sonic, their reverses, and so on in those fingers. It takes time to get them independent; it took me almost a year just to perfect the bakfall and get the fingers independent. X_X It's because I was still a newb then.
