Advanced Tricks / Fingerhold

    New trick invented by Challenges from SPSC.

    It's similar to a stall, but it's not: the pen is held with the 2nd and 3rd phalanx of the finger.

    In the video I show a Middlehold, but you can do Ringhold, Pinkyhold and Indexhold (this one is very difficult), and Thumbhold too.

    i know this is a new stall of sorts. The downside is that people who don't have double joints, this would be near-impossible. (I have double joints and can do it no problem)

    lol, Shadowserpant, I posted it in the What Am I Doing thread, but I think this could be the official thread for this trick.

    u dont need double joint... just need the ability to bend the upper phalanx only... can be done with practice.

    I can do this, but isn't doing something like this bad for your fingers? (If you do it a lot)

    it doesnt seem worth it to learn, imo
    i mean how well can you even incorporate this?
    idk maybe some kind of inverse shadow stall to palm down...
    just doesnt seem that usefull
    cool thing to show off tho

    @Shadow:



    I can do it palm down, and Ringhold and Pinkyhold with a lighter mod.

    Damn, this is actually really hard with a pen with a wide barrel. I can't do it with my MSXA but I can do it with a BICtory.

    @octan3: try it first assisting your finger with your other hand.

    So even though I can't bend the upper phalanx, without the other ones I can get it with practice? Or did I misunderstand... tongue.gif

    you can. i couldnt bend it at first but i practiced and was able to do it.
    i dont really like the idea of this tho.
    plus, i can bend my upper phalanx but cant hold the pen anyway lol epic fail

    I can't do it....

    Wow, Really Nice, Really fast, Original. But hard to do that fingerhold lol!!

    I am very sure this is not possible to do with practice. I think you're sort of born into the ability of bending the first knuckle alone.

    I like it, but not able to bend!!

    sorry for reviving...


    but i can sorta do it if i spread my fingers outward, but if i clump them inward... i can't



    thnx freeman!!!

    Oh, you're right, I forgot mentioning that, try both spreading the fingers outward and inward, sometimes is easier, and it changes with which finger you do it.

    Haha. I'm able to bend the upper phalanx only, but I can't do this. Maybe it would work with a thicker pen, but with a regular one I can't press hard enough to hold it.

    Just keep trying it. Make sure you hold the pen on the COG, specially if the pen is heavy. You can also try it with a lighter pen.

    I can already bend just the first knuckle, (I dunno why, but I used to do this as a kid.) and can kinda do it with the ring, middle, and thumb.

    It is difficult but i can do Middlehold. I can bend all my fingers like that but they can't hold the pen.

    Don't feel too bad. Even people who can bend the first joint aren't always able to do it. And imo it creeps me out. XD you're not missing much.
