    idk if this has been discussed... so dont rip on me or w.e.

    okay i know that both size and weight matters... yu can get more momentum from pens that weigh more (weights being on the ends of the pen) and w.e... it makes it easier to move the pen around and all
    i also know that longer pens make tricks easier to do.. or easier to a certain degree...
    i have this pen that i made (not an official mod) just outa random pens and all and its around 26cm (long lol) but it is sooooooo light (idk the exact weights nor can i give an estimate)...
    now i dont have the material to make any mod, nd i dont see me getting them any time soon BUT i do plan to make a few mods... what im asking here is hows the transition from this long and light pen im using now to a shorter but heavier pen..

    Weights the hardest to adjust to, but its always easy to go heavier. So pencils -> KT is easy but KT -> pencils is hard.

    Length you don't have to worry about so much, as long as the one you're going to isn't insanely short for your hand you should be fine.

    So you should be fine, but maybe try spinning unmodded, or pencils every once and a while and you should be able to spin any mod with ease.

    The most common one is probably the RSVP MX or RSVP V1, most of the RSVP mods. And usually they are quite simple... but for some of them the materials can be hard to find. It kinda depends where you live, how much you are willing to pay, and how long you are willing to wait for your mats... I recommend an RSVP mod (but dont trust me, Ima noob), cause I have spinned RSVP's and they are my fav's smile.gif
