    Hey guys, im new here and fairly new to pen spinning, a noob in fact.. sad.gif I just wanted to ask what tricks you guys knew before getting into mods because i dont have the money and time right now to buy pens and make/buy mods. So far i can only do the fundamentals (ThumbAround, Charge, Sonic, and FingerPass).

    thanks

    I modded when I decided I needed something better to perform advanced tricks after learning my fundies. A mod also helps for fundamental mini-combos like a sonic rise.

    I used a double-capped RSVP. Which worked alright and wasn't too pricey either.

    Let's see...I knew the fundamentals + harmonics, twisted sonic + reverse, shadow, bak, infinity, figure 8 and I think that's it.

    You could probably learn most tricks with an unmodded pen, it would just be harder than doing it with a mod.

    You can do most tricks with out to much difficulty with a pencil, unless you're going for the insane ones with high spins. The difficulty of pencil spinning is the linkages I find. So you shouldn't really need a mod until you start working on combos and complex mini combos.

    I have used pencil to learn most of the tricks. You can use them to learn any trick you want.

    To be honest, I don't think pens really matter as a noob.

    I did all my fundementals (except fingerpasses) before using any mod.

    the only trick i learned before i got a mod was charge reverse. Right after I found out they had special pens for spinning, i was tearing through my house trying to find stuff. Made a bictory.
