I'm a 2 year spinner, 6 month spinner etc... Why do all pen spinners feel they have to constantly put this, on their combos, videos, sometimes threads. You get people saying things like 'I don't know, am only 6 month' or claiming to be amazing because they got a Bakfall after 4 months. In all the other hobbies I do, no-one cares about this. Why do pen spinners care (or seem to care) so much? Mats (7 year spinner)

just competition taste i think. that's also a basic reference point for it. i mean when i began penspinning, battles (on fpsb) were the main thing, and that was attractive for the very beginners to -1y ofc after some years, we don't give a f*ck tho

Why not? Battles between long-standing spinners are the best! -

see, my reasoning is i feel like if i didn't tell people im only 2 and 1/2 months, they would just think im a crap spinner who has been practicing for awhile.

yea but 6 months between 2 spinners in their 1st year spinning is huge, when it's not on 5 years+ spinners when reached 2 or 3 years of active spinning, anyone can beat anyone i think edit: i may ve misunderstood: idk why older spinners usually lose interest in battles, that s a good question. Considering battles as a beginner activity maybe? -

I think thereshould be some sort of leveling cause you might be a 2 month spinner that spins like a 4 month spinner but others won't battle u cause of your age becaus eother spinners put in way more time then others

It gives a good image in your head of their spinning if you havent seen them spin before. Gives you perspective.

It also shows how much you've progressed, and gives others an idea of your experience.

Because if you're like me, if I actually put more time into penspinning I would be exponentially better at penspinning. My skill progress has virtually been the same since my 2-year mark and I'm approaching my 4-year. I compare to myself, not sure about others.

I don't really put it anywhere except for my battle threads, because it's easier to find an opponent roughly around your level that way.

Agreed.edit: i may ve misunderstood: idk why older spinners usually lose interest in battles, that s a good question. Considering battles as a beginner activity maybe?
Maybe pro spinners are more interested in putting combos in collabs because they are more viewed world-wide? -
