    not sure if this is the correct place to post this. but a friend of mine was born without any joints in his index finger, its a few cm shorter than the rest of his fingers, and he cant bend it. he is interested in learning to PS, but due to his disability he cant do any tricks involving his index finger. Have any of you people ever seen something similar to this?

    I've heard of it, but never seen it. The solution is surgery. What they do is break the finger in spots where joints should be and put in artifical joints. Hurts really bad though from what I hear.

    You could just have him to busts and baks all day. Or use the other hand.

    Maybe start him on the other hand? ...or is it on both hands?

    index finger is like the most versatile finger so its pretty hard ps-ing without it o.o

    its either the surgery or be satisfied with stuff like middlearound or ringbak

    you can still do the thumbaround, just snap the pen with any other of the three fingers
