    3. Cut the middle of where was the grip of the two Atlantic 1.2.

    4. Cut the backcap of the two Atlantis 1.2.

    5. Cut the grips of the Atlantis to make them rings ( sorry for my bad english >< ).

    6. Put the grips at the end of the Atlantis.

    7. Put an insert in each body of Atlantis.

    8. Put the two Antlantis on each side of the Flexgrip. The end.

    Just a quick question, does the difference in the textures of the barrels affect the spinability of the mod? I mean the flexgrip barrel is made of soft plastic which has a different feel from the clear plastic on the atlantis bodies. Understand my concept?

    EDIT: To make it more clear, i meant that flexgrip barrels feels much more slippery than the atlantis bodies. Anyway, good mod! biggrin.gif Creative too.

    @Shimo : Thanks lol

    @BlacknWhite : At first it's not easy to get used to, but once you're used to it, you spin really well with it.
    But it's easier to spin a Grip Maniac that has more grip on the ends (like the two Gri Maniacs Van Halen has on the last two pictures) than my Grip Maniac.

    Ah, also, to make a Grip Mania heavier, you can just put two HGG Tips on the ends, with the tip of the tip (lol?) facing inwards and sticking them with BlueTak

    ps : Banz said that Grip Maniac was a serial challenger of the Grip Aviaire x)

    Looks a lot like a clear body grip aviare. Though the length is the same as a grip aviare, is it the same weight or lighter.

    What?

    Sorry, I know that you are a very well respected modder on FPSB. I often find my self admiring your work and trying to make your mods following your tuts, but I really find this hard to believe.

    Again, I am very sorry if I'm being ignorant, I do not know a lot about the history of penspinning and modding. I just want some clarification.
