    If anyone has any ways to make it easier to train their opposite hand for spinning they should post it here. Maybe using the opposite hand more often would help. like for writing and masturbating.

    Masturbating? Easy. Just get used to it. On the penspinning note, you already know how to execute TA, fingerpass, that kind of stuff..its much easier, you just have to get usability and familiarization with your left hand

    Once you get used to stuff on your dominant hand it'll be much easier. It took me months to get double bust on my dominant hand but only like 15 minutes with fiddling around subconciously on my less dominant hand.

    easier if you know the trick on your other hand because you know what to do

    master trick/linkage in main hand first it's easier once you have muscle memory for it in your main hand, this 'memory' can then be 'transferred' to non-dominant hand (rather than learning the motions from scratch again) note: you might need to train the actual muscles in non-dominant hand first, for example, it's hard to do a devil's around 34-34 on non-dominant hand at first because pinky and ring finger muscles are weak, doing stuff like fingerpass rev can help fix this

    been training my left hand in every day tasks for about 2 weeks now. If you haven't experienced it already I recommend you try it out for yourself, it was a little hard to keep up, (ended up slipping quite a bit) but it's a pretty unique experience. It is easier to learn it after you have learned it on the right, but I question whether or not it would be even better to learn the trick on both hands simultaneously when you're learning for the first time.

    Totally agreed with this. Even though your hand may have the memory transferred, the physical aspect isn't. You'll still have that obstacle of fused fingers at 234 and the weak muscles. But I got that covered learning ring bak all the time. xD

    Imo if you've learned a trick with your dominant hand, learning it with your opposite hand will be quicker xD I mastered my Sonic Harmonic in about 3 weeks and a half (with my right hand), then with my non-dominant hand it took only about 1 weeks xD

    Could you master even faster perhaps, both hands at once? Idk, something to consider. It might be slower to start, but then you would be naturally used to spinning in both hands, might lend itself to easier 2p2h or 1p2h work.

    Are there any other exercises that you do to help get more comfortable with using your opposite hand?

    Try ambidexterity training dudes. I have been doing it for year. It looks cool 'cause you can pen spin on either hand while writing on the other.

    Just using it more. Just try using it for everything instead of your dominant hand. Besides, Psing with your opposite hand is easier as is because you already know how to do it with your dominant hand. Same goes for you @johndspinner99 And learning it early into spinning helps too. Although that will slow your pace down a bit but you will be good with both hands eventually. ^_^

    Fingerpass. Try fingerpass first of ALL. it will help you a lot. I broke my "1" of my Right Hand... Trained Fingerpass with my left hand. :) My fingerpass with my left hand is better than my right one -.-

    I play piano and cello, so I guess it's more flexible? On cello I do vibrato so you have to loosen your left hand and maybe that helps

    yeah maybe using it in real life more often help. i always wondering about this just in case i lost my right hand LOL

    I find it a lot faster to learn tricks with my left because I already know how to do them; An example would be it took me an hour and a half to even do 1 TA with my right but when I tried it with my left I did it in 5 minutes; I also found it easier but less comfortable and felt strange. That is what I think and have experienced.

    I've personally found that mastering the fingerpass first on your left hand is great because it helps you get much more finger coordination and flexibility

    hmm... is it worth learning to pen spin with your least dominant hand?

    That depends on you. People can't tell you if it is worth it or not because that is their opinion with their style of spinning. I'd say learn it then answer your own question.

    I had the same exact experience as Boxxy.

    Kind of nostalgic, learning all the stuff again with the non-dominant hand. being a noob again in some way. ^_^

    I think it is entertaining. It gives you far more to do with pen spinning. You can learn transfers and 2p2h spinning. Although... 2p2h with different combos in each hand is very difficult. I tried it once and ended up spamming a continuous combo in one hand. :p

    Or let your left hand train another style than your right hand. :D And fool people with it. "No, that is not me, who's spinning in that video", hehe. Just like Eriror did. ^_^

    I'm naturally right handed, but my right hand isn't as flexible as my left hand so i've started to learn pen spinning on my left hand :D

    i find that kind of weird, but it should make learning on both hands much easier...

    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2012 07:17:56

    I got TA, charge, tw sonic, and sonic a lot faster on my non dominant hand (left). Still amazed at how fast I got the charge as opposed to my dominant hand.

    I got almost the same but the other way around. I am left handed. But I started to spin with right, because my first tutorial was right handed. Makes learning tricks with left very easy for me.

    I made up a mini 2 second combo. When i master in on my left hand ill try for other things

    im trying to teach a friend pen spinning and when i got to teaching her sonic she was having trouble with it. at one point she said "maybe i should try this with my left hand since im [B]left handed[/B]"... i was like "you mean you're not right handed... and you've been spinning with your right hand?". it was pretty funny but now im convincing her to use both hands since she isnt bad with her right.
