Study links of what you want, do it often (I mean often as fck), use the mod that fits that style.

Maybe I need to throw away, I mean stop using my RG2T lol and switch back to my personal mx or make an ARMX .__. u see I like to write & spin and I thought that the RG2T is the best mod but it actually f*cked up my style, btw I only have rsvps & pilot pens available, and the reason why I don't carry rare mods(like the one with HGG parts bec. it is rare in our country) is bec. I might lose it :(

Just drill the style you want to incorporate, and be alert of your style everytime you spin.

You can't unlearn a style, but you can learn a new one to use. Focus on different tricks, examine your spinning, see what trick families you use the most and ones you don't use very much of and try balancing them out a bit. I used lots of arounds before, so I started using more baks, and that helped me.

I don't think you can ever unlearn your style BUT style can always be evolving even for spinners who have been spinning for the longest time. Eriror has been spinning for 6-7 years and in his most recent video you can see that his style is changing. Freeman had an old style where he spun quite fast but his style changed but there's a hint of his old style in his current style. There are many ways to change your style around. One is to spin a mod with a dramatically different weight or body thickness and it'll easily change your style. However, what I've come to learn about style is that if you really want to change it, you have to be very intentional with your spinning. What I mean is that you have to really study your spinning, analyse what your doing when you do a combo, linkage or trick. Once you've done that, see what you don't like and change it. A good place to start is speed and smoothness. See how fast and how smooth you are and adjust it to however you like. It may look incredibly ugly at first but fear not, it is easily refined. Other things you can look out for is common linkages you use, specific trick families or trick types you always use, how your other fingers move or position themselves when you do a specific trick (eg whether 1 is pointing out or curled in when you do a warped sonic 23-34) and directional changes. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL WHEN IT COMES TO CHANGING YOUR STYLE IS TO BE [SIZE="6"]PAITENT[/SIZE]!!! I've been developing my style for close to 2 years now and it's still not where it want it to be. Don't expect any drastic immediate changes when it comes to style. Some things takes for a week to 6 months to evolve so just endure it. It may be tiring, boring, long and whatnot but I can assure you that you'll be rewarded richly for you efforts. What I've gotten out of developing my style so far is that I get to shape my style to whatever I want it to look like and not let chance shape it for me, I gotten a very good control over my finger movements and better finger dexterity, my spinning has improved a lot in terms of variety, speed, smoothness and control, I have more flexible fingers now and some other things that I can't remember. Hope this helps!

A13x/kin/bonkura? all those sounds really different man if u want to learn them separately, u probably can, but if ur trying to put them all together i don't think itll look good IMO lol A13x will need power too, along with consistency of it, while kin will mean T-Pass and it's crazy variation, topspins, bonkura will require independent finger movements and mastery of passes/Sonics and bak variation + inhuman smoothness (I'm probably missing some factors on A13x and kin cuz idk them that well)

lol I'll just have to start w/ bonkura, bec. I have to master some baks and work with my sonic variation linkages and most importantly the fingerpass reverse which is impossible for me even though I've been spinning for almost 3 years :) & THANK YOU everyone!
