    hey peoples
    sorry if this is in the wrong place but i couldnt find anyhting similar

    i just want to know what im looking for in a pen and what a good pen has or dosnt have.
    I want to buy a pen to spin soon because all i have is some dodgy home brand ones i found in my house. So basically what im looking for is any advise as to what pen i should be looking at, nothing to expensive or hard to find.
    thanks for any help

    The pen should be balance with the cog at the cop and fits your hand.

    Not really. Some people spin better with pens that are back/front heavy. And yes, a pen that fits ur hand is important.

    Yeah. The length of the pen should be from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist.

    Well I Guess, Any Pen or Mod That You Are Most Comfy With. Example, There Is This Certain Pen of Your choice, Even If The Weight Is Not Balanced Much, as Long As You Are Comfy With It, Then, I Guess That Is The Pen For You. smile.gif

    Because this in in the regular pen disscussion, he's not talking about mods im assuming. So a good pen, is simple construction, good grip(not fake), and metal tip.

    get a pen that is simple, and one that can be used in many mods (psst! RSVP!)

    Are you a beginner? Because unsharpened pencils aren't bad for beginners ... actually... I learnt my Charge, sonic and thumbaround with an ordinary unsharpened pencil...

    Good weight, round semi thick barrel and lots of momentum. You can buy pre-made pen mods here:
