    I want to know what pen mod is best for spinning. A long and heavy or a short and light? Many people don't like heavy and long pen mods because pen spinning is very easy with them. I have been told that i have to spin a lighter and shorter mod when i released some combos of mine spinning a long and heavy mod.

    But isn't that the reason heavy and long pens exist? I mean someone can master and learn many tricks and combos easily with such a mod and continue to even better tricks and combos. Is that correct?

    I just want to hear your opinion.

    edit: I don't want to hear "use what best for you". I want to hear based on something opinions.

    I'd say use a shorter one, as it'll teach you better. When you can do tricks with a short pen, and you later decide to switch to a longer one, it'll come back faster.

    The best is a mod that fits your hand size. Weight is personal preference.

    Can you explain that better?
