    my fingers are short and fat >< my middle finger is only about 7.5 cm >_>...
    and also, my fingers are really fat which makes it hard for me to do tricks in non-consecutive fingers..
    also, i think its fugly as hell ><

    i have long skinny fingers.
    since i dont have short fat ones i cant compare.
    but its fairly easy for me to do alot of tricks.

    Short fingers do not limit your ability to spin....if anything you can spin shorter pens a lot easier like an rsvp MX.

    NOT TRUE

    Since your hands are smaller, they have less total area to spin a pen on.

    then you should say fatter fingers are an advantage cause they give more surface area rolleyes.gif

    i have short and fat fingers, i've never had long ones, but it seems that having long and skinny fingers would be much better then short and fat ones... it doesn't really limit your spinning, but in presentation, it looks kinda ugly with short stubby fingers lol

    Yeah, finger length impacts presentation a lot.
    I mean, cloud traveler's fingers don't look exactly the most uh... appealing
    Long skinny fingers, (i.e most japanese spinners) seem most visually appealing wink.gif
    I wish my fingers were a bit longer.

    your middle finger is only 7.5cm? it looks really long, prob because ur fingers r skinny. i know it doesnt affect your spinning that much, but for presentation, if you have short, stubby, and fat fingers, its not very good looking... like for example, my fingers r sooo fat...looks horrible when i spin, which is why i pay more attention to the pen

    my middle finger is 8 cm long. i have 18 cm hands. my hands are moderate, my fingers are like girl fingers. and length isnt really a factor except for presentation. i can spin 21 cm pens perfeectly fine

    guys i am a recovered fat kid, i used to 5'2 and weigh 210 pounds now im 5'8 and weigh 170 and my hands didnt change at all
    :*( my middle finger is 6.5cm long, yes i said 6.5cm, and my fingers have gotten smaller but there still rather large lol, i have alot of trouble doing normally easy tricks like the sonic[ the version where you start out with a charge motion ] so idk if pen spinning is right for me but im doing it regardless happy.gif

    lol, my middle finger is 7cm long ._. but along with that, my dominant hand's pinky has next to no flexibility :/

    I can spin fine and my left hand looks great doing 34 tricks tongue.gif. It's wrist movements and finger control which will make your spinning look nice but good hands are good... I have fail hands D: xD
