    I have a deformed and broken pinky but I can still fingerpass well.

    Pics, they're really big so I'm not directly showing the images.

    Not a deformed pinky but can you see anything cool about my left hand other than the bent fingers?

    It actually has like 1½ cause after breaking it twice I realised it wasn't just a normal bone cause it seems really odd that it broke in the exact same area. I think it stopped forming halfway or something wink.gif

    Yeah it broke twice. Luckily it only bent a bit. You see in one of the pictures that when I try to close my hand it just stays there? That's what happened after I broke it the second time. In another pic you see that when I form a fist the finger sort of faces inwards, that happened after I broke it the first time.

    It prevents me from doing a 34-23 sonic though dry.gif

    I'll add to this. My right pinky is somewhat deformed. It bends in a little more than it should. That isn't really my problem though.

    There is an actual problem with the finger/joint where it cracks sideways really easily but when it does it hurts and sometimes feels like it's grinding. I have been able to prevent it from cracking as often as it used to and this has helped it heal but from time to time I need to crack it if the knuckle locks. I have 100% finger independence on my left hand but my right pinky bends weird so I lose a bit of mobility from that.

    All in all it hasn't effected my spinning much. What kills me is how difficult and annoying it makes some card tricks/XCM

    Good job, though it took you well over a month to update tongue.gif

    Well if you care or not, my pinky is fucked up too

    i can't do some sonic clip hybrids because of it

    just try to learn tricks that weave your way around the problems. after all, nobody is forcing you to learn any specific trick.

    I think that having this kind of pinky allows you to make a outward hook. Ppl with a straight pinky can only hook inward (towards the thumb, as opposed to away from the thumb).

    this should give you an advantage in pinkybaks.

    well i did notice that i didn't take very long to learn the pinkybak... like... x100000 times shorter... well... maybe just 3 tries then i got it.

    i'll try to post my fingerpassing if i can get it up to youtube dry.gif
