The whole story:
3 weeks back my friends got pissed of at me PSing cuz thats all I did so some of them hid it (not seriously)..They said they would give it to me at the end of school.. I waited and 1 of them waved it out of the window and it slip by mistake.. He searched for the pen but couldn't find it.
2 Days later I found a double sided sketch pen in my house and started using it until I made my pen again (was lazy).. The pen was really light..few days later i found another cap and added it.. Now the pen was pretty decent to spin. I got addicted to the length and bought a whole pack and added like 12 caps. Attached all of them and I started spinning it..
I was waiting for my pen to arrive so I did not care on making my old one again.. My pen didn't arrive for a long time (not yet
)..I just got tired of the 60 cm long pen cuz I couldn't take it anywhere so I remade my mod day before yesterday.
After spinning this mod again I cant do a proper TA for 3 days
...I cant think to do a TW Sonic or shadow.. My sonic is bad..Cant charge..
It feels like I've started PSing all over again. I waited that day thinkin it'll become alright but no, Today I still cant do any of them..
Has this happened to any of you?Do you guys know how to overcome this? This seriously sucks.... -

That's what you get for disregarding PENspinning. Same with KT.

Yeah i guess you need to adapt.
It's like you can't use light mods after using heavy mods for a long time. You fingers get accustomed to the heavy mod and you start to suck with the lighter mods. -

Ya it sucks for awhile, but after you get out of the fundamentals it doesn't really happen to you except for advanced tricks....Frip has a point though too, if you learn something on Dr. KT (because its easier to learn something with heavier pen), you should be sure to switch back and forth between the KT and your regular pen or it will be harder to come back to it....

This has kidna happened to me when i started using a KT it was way to heavy, but after a bit of practicing i could easily spin it. Now i can spin a kt or a ballsign right after each other with no difficulty.

This was a huge problem for me, seeing as how I switched from a Dr. KT to a v1. It didn't take me as long as you did to adjust though, only a few hours need or so.

that's what happens when you spin heavy mods and ignore light mods
To solve this, spin both types of mods -

I agree that yes, it does require some adapting to get used to a new pen. When I made my Dr. KT, I was like, "Dang this is heavy," and my fingers were so tired from spinning it. But now I'm used to it.
But I don't want to be reliant on heavy mods to enhance my smoothness, so I also spin my Ballsign, Bictory, and Comssa every day. -

I've found that the better you are at penspinning, the easier you can adapt to different pens. It helps to spin a variety of pens when you practice as well.

QFT
I had the same problem.
I was in Turkey doing summer break, and I forgot to bring my pens with. So I had this long
metal rod that I would spin. I got home from Turkey and I could even do the fundamentals.
Took me about an hour to get everything where it use to be. -

you guys are soo lucky. i tried spinnin a g3 mx for a whole day, still can't do anything

i have an air CS. its wiehgt is about like double a kt. i also have an smsxa. its lighter then an mx. i can spin both perfectly fine. the key is to find 1 light and 1 heavy mod and keep switching and you just adapt to both of them.

Yeah, I just got my kUzu mod. Man its heavy
But after spinning for few minutes, I got used to the weight and spun it as well as my other pens. Maybe even better
But I also spin my comssa after, and I find switching and noticing the difference is fun.
I think just spinning a lot will help you switch back and forth between heavy and light mods.
I had trouble few months ago, when I got my Dr MJ and I couldn't spin any light mods...
Then I lost it and had to spin light mods.
I think once you force yourself to make such extreme changes, you will be able to spin both heavy and light mods without trouble

Holy crap I just got a great idea, why don't we all just spin pens
! -

Now I see why I can't spin my Namae mod very well..
I've been spinning my Bictory which I have no idea how much weighs for quite a while. Its actually pretty heavy compared to my Namae mod. I guess I should keep switching between the two.
Don't worry OutSmash, you'll probably get back to where you were in no time!
I've also got to start using my Namae mod more.. -

idk it doesn't matter what pen I spin, I can switch to any pen I want ><

I was not exactly talking about a KT or a KUzu mod...
Mine is about 55cm and is almost 6 times heavier then KT and I'm not exaggerating.. I got used to it..
Well I got the TA today...hopefully everything else comes along fast.. -

Tricks are easier to perform on heavy pen/stick thingies because of the extreme momentum?
And one time, I almost couldn't spin my personal mod again after using my friend's weird long and heavy mod for like two hours of spinning. -

Ya. I left on a trip to China w/ out any of my pen mods. I spun a simple pencil. I came back 3 months later and couldnt do anything including thumbarounds, sonics, chargers, or infinitys. Took me nearly a month to get back used to my other pens
