Hand Care / Good For You?
Is pen spinning good for your fingers?

I find spinning very healing. charge helps me at the front side of my middle finger. It's the side that points to you on your right hand. I usually write a lot, so my skin gets weird there. Pen spinning sort of heals it, but I now rely on writing to balance pen spinning. If I don't spin enough, my finger hurts. If I write too little, my spinning gets bad because my hand gets too slippery. It's a hard balance, but at the right time, I can spin really well. I can't use mechanical pencils because of the grip which doesn't make my hand hurt.

I guess to some extent, at first my hands were getting stronger and more dexterous, now they just hurt.

it's good in its own ways. it also has its bad points.
good points:
good finger dexterity
fingers get stronger
bad points:
might have finger pain in the future depending on how much you do (the less you spin the less chance of feeling pain)
can't really think about it too much... -

My finger is a lot more flexible than last time, but, I dunno how it will help me. Maybe in typing? lol

Penspinning is teh goodness.
- pros
- It's fun
- It helps get through boring classes
- Other people like it
- It can help you gain a higher finger dexterity then others
- You meet people through it
cons - You could possibly get carpal tunnel or arthritis in the future
- You could be seen as nerdy and laughed at (some don't mind, I don't particularly)
- You could be shot if you stepped on other penspinners's turf
- You could suffer from depression if you broke a finger and could not spin anymore
- You could accidentally lethally stab yourself

It was a joke.

Oh...HAHA! Oh yeah, arthritis, it runs in my family....and I dont think when I'm 60 Ill be spinning anymore...Unless I want to teach my grandkids! WHEE!
QUOTEYou could possibly get carpal tunnel or arthritis in the future
This is what scares me, but atleast Ill still be able to write.. -

I wouldn't be so sure about the old people not being able to spin... I saw a 60-70 year old man at a debate tournament pen spinning.
-
Date: Sun, Dec 2 2007 23:43:42
Seriously, I always figured I'd have to give it up around 30-40 due to lack of dexterity.

The awesomely increaserd fingerdexterity is good enough for me to not think about what might happen to my fingers in the future.

oooooh carpal tunnel would be a bitch...
-
Date: Sat, Dec 22 2007 19:04:45
carpel tunnel only occurs from repetitive actions
so just don't do any one trick or any one combo too much
as long as you vary it up a bit i think that your fingers should be fine
and finger dexterity doesn't necessarily have to worsen as you get older, just keep your body in good health and everthing should be fine
you could spin when you're in your hundreds xD (well, if you're still alive) -
Date: Thu, Dec 27 2007 21:46:24
It hurts when u first start ps coz yr not used to moving yr fingers that way.
my mom is getting repetative strain injury or something i think from being on the pc but im on it more than her and mine are fine i dunno if its about age or wateva -

Of course it's good. You stretch your fingers and learn how important practice is. Just don't practice sonic pass combo's too much and don't practice ringaround too much. My right pinky is totally bent from learning ringaround.

Penspinning is a catalyst for the development of carpel tunnel syndrome. Have fun

Darn, that reminds me of a guy who plays stepmania who had a minor case of carpal tunnel and couldn't play for 2 weeks.

Being famous only when you are best of the best of something.
Same goes to pen spinning, you will be famous by becoming top in WT, or people recognize you as one of the fastest, creativity, style and what so ever pen spinner you are.
Hmm, maybe we can be famous in our own country or so. Only when we are being filmed for TV shows. -

I think that pen spinning is good for your fingers.
-

Well it makes my fingers faster because on Domination which is a game on Mario Party 4 I can get 140 clicks on my controller in 10 seconds when before pen spinning I could only get 90 max. It realllllyyy increase the speed.

Clearly, the main benefit from penspinning and so much finger dexterity comes in one's dealings with the ladies...

that is veryscary cause carpal tunnels cannot be healed anymore -
Date: Thu, Jan 24 2008 06:25:51
my ring finger already starts to hurt if i spin too much, or too little.
I don't really care if i get arthritis still gunna spin -
Date: Sat, Feb 9 2008 14:55:29
Well I think we should look at the situation what is better being a LOOSER
who can't spin. Or having carpal tunnel when you are older but be better than everyone else in your class at spinning. And when some jerk just tries to make up a move to copy you, you got to give em a mean look and pull of a like a twisted sonic so they know not to compete with you. -

- You could accidentally lethally stab yourself
i dropped a kt which landed tipside on my foot as i was reading this. ironic, no?
anyways, it does help with finger dexterity. -
Date: Wed, Feb 13 2008 07:13:12
Finger dexterity is important especially for playing games.!
But when i spin too much my pinky gets stiff to the point that it can't bend itself for awhile. What the heck, what's a little suffering compared to being able to spin? -
Date: Fri, Feb 6 2009 01:48:12
OMG! I would always get 120 in dominator and school everyone else I was playing.

This doesn't have to do with being good for my fingers, but it is good for me. Ever since I was a child I have pulled out my hair. Until around 2 years ago when I first discovered my first ps move, I had no hair on the top of my head. Pen spinning has truly helped me in that regard and I have a full head of hair now. That is why I can't stop or else I will become self-destructive again. Plus it gets rid of nervous energy.

well, last night and today, i was repetitively practicing the same combo over and over again
and then, i kinda lost the feeling in my fingers.... it really felt weird, and annoyingly hinders my ability to do a combo once i've lost the feeling in my fingers
it felt kinda like pins and needles, except i felt in in my palms rather than the fingers...... -

ouch.. same thing happend to me but on the palm..
acctualy, i made an experimental mod(it has pointy tips too..)
then i tried to do a combo with it.. so i was in my final move with an aerial trick and caught it...
but!!! (here's the disgusting part.. sorry for those who are eating, faint-hearted, or those who are afraid of blood)
well.. i caught the mod's pointy tip with my palm... the tip punctured my palm and my palm was full of blood that time..
T___T huhuhu.. i thought it was going to end my pen spinning... good thing it healed after a week.. ^___^ -

It Will Increase The dexterity Of Your Fingers...That Is What I Think.

my finger dexterity gotten so much better when i started to spin but maybe after a small spin session my hand starts to hurt, like joint pains, i know that its probably cuz i don't stretch out but still it kinda makes me think that spining too much would be bad for you
-
Date: Tue, Mar 31 2009 02:29:24
try spinning with both hands, good exercise for your brain

did no one else see this post /\/\/\/\ wonder if this is truth or bs? wow -

Personally, I don't think anything's innately good or bad for you - the dose makes the poison. Water's great when you're thirsty, but not when you're drowning.
Penspinning's good for your dexterity, but not so much if your doctor just told you you're about to get carpal tunnel syndrome. -
Date: Wed, Apr 1 2009 12:54:01
personally i dont think ps helps you become good at other things such as card tricks, juggling or whatever. but i do think it can make your fingers more flexible than before.
-
Date: Wed, Apr 1 2009 13:22:02
PSing with both hands make ur brain(both sides) think flexibl'ier.

Good for keyboard/piano warm-up (sais Yosky)
-
Date: Sun, Jun 21 2009 03:32:43
I think it does help my fingers in terms of independence and dexterity, especially when I tried other things like poker chip trick or xtreme digits.
-
Date: Sun, Jun 21 2009 09:42:19
It helps me because when I don't have anything to do with my hands, I get really nervous. I usually develop irritating tics in such situations, and pen spinning prevents that. It's something to put my focus on, to keep me busy.

idk
pros
- you get totally awesome at school / become popular
- a lot want to learn from you
- you gain lots of friends
- you don't need to listen to the teacher
cons
- you look like a nerd or you'll look stupid for spinning pens since pens are meant for writing for everyone except us psers
- you get scolded by the teacher if you drop the pen too many times
- carpal tunnel / arthritis
- not being able to listen to the teacher ( thus you get low grades and or fail )
idk if it's good for me or not...I used to do it because it was my life but..a lot of psers got better than me so I kinda lost interest in it and a lot are hating my spinning (thx my fellow pinoys
) I always practice but I just can't get to supawit / eriror / seven/ or whoever pro's level T_T almost 2 yrs and still suck lol -
Date: Sat, Nov 14 2009 02:49:00
Dont kow if this is taken but it helps with the flexiblity in your fingers
i can bend my fingers but my friends who dont penspin cant -
Date: Sun, Nov 22 2009 22:27:04
I guess it's good for excerises to the fingers, and fingers become more flexible.
Bad things: u get alot of spasms, and pain. It's the two things I hate about. -
Date: Wed, Nov 25 2009 17:07:18
Pen spinning improves finger flexibility and dexterity in whichever hand you spin with.

What happened to good old fashioned jacking off? -
Date: Fri, Nov 27 2009 05:08:24
PSing can increase finger dexterity but can lead to Carpal Tunnel/Arthritis. I already feel it in my fingers and I'm only 13 years old.
-
Date: Fri, Nov 27 2009 08:06:55
Woah I always though pen spinning doesn't have bad points. Now I don't really want to pick up my pen >.< But how does pen spinning cause carpal tunnel syndrome? And how much pen spinning will cause it?
-
Date: Mon, Dec 7 2009 14:34:09
yah it makes my hand more flexible.. but sometimes it hurts when i spin to much
guitartritis on pen spinning iguess.. -

Penspinning for me is kinda wierd... my hands like hurt sometimes when i penspin, sort of as if it moves out of place
