    Do you guys ever have off days. Where your hand just feels a little stiff and you can't really do any tricks. I'm new to pen spinning but i'm just having one of those days.:dunce:

    it does happen, sometimes you just dont feel like you can grip the pen properly, sometimes it feels like every trick just doesnt want to work... it's a real pain but ull learn to overcome it

    pen spinning is just so much fun, but you always get to a point where it seems like you cant land any tricks/make good linkages/make good combos etc. etc... but i relate it to a good video game where you get stuck on a tough boss or an impossible level; just keep trying until it hurts (but dont be too bothered by it, after all its just a game and sometimes we need to put the controller down and call it a day)... that was quite a prolix analogy..

    Don't overwork yourself or get yourself frustrated, that subtracts from your overall pen spinning skill. I get off-days a lot, but I usually stop spinning for a while and then try again some other time.

    If I take my emboss mod to school with me to spin, by the end of the day my hand is in agony. To prevent this I keep my emboss mod at home and bring my RSVP, Comssa and a Dr Grip to school because I know I will be subconsciously be spinning.

    I wanna know, if you film for a while and you still cant get shit down, should you give up and come back later or just keep filming? By a while i mean perhaps 30 mins to 45 mins.

    Just come back later and try it again. Keep practicing on the combo. Oh, and by come back later, I mean do it tomorrow at the same amount of time.

    Sometimes my hand is very tired of penspinning and the day after that, is just like "i don't wanna look pens anymore >.
