Add a grip at where the pen is spinning on the thumb. It'll reduce friction thus allowing more spins with the same amount of force applied to execute the ThumbSpin.

It also raises the rest of the pen a bit above your hand, so it's less likely to bump into your index finger.
I'm not good at them but if I were you I'd make TS 2.0 consistent, then 2.5, then 3.0, etc. Until you think you can go for insane spins. -

how would a grip reduce friction? unless the pen barrel is rough like sandpaper. but in my experience, grips are rubbery and so that just increases friction on my finger :/ -

thumbspin is a simple fundamental variation, and is thus included in the fundamental section
