    Agree with the top post...
    But being 1 or 2 cm more is fine, also its personal preference... i use a 20-21 cm mod (my hand is about 18 cm)

    I know kam's general rule that said a pen should be about the size of your hand, but that's not always the case. Most people are comfortable with MX length pens (18.5 cm) while some like the above post prefer 22 cm which is a bit longer.
    I spin a BIC crystal with eraser in the back everyday, and it's a wonderful pen of about 16 cm.

    *thats what she said*

    Anyways, a mod should be the length of your hand, at least. it should NOT, however, exceed 22 cm, whish is like ~8.6 inches
    Which is pretty long for a pen. Take the Buster for example; that thing is long and extremely heavy. Heavy is good, but you do NOT want it to be overly heavy that it'll kill your fingers.
    That is what we call a stick >_<

    I totally agree. Busters are super heavy and long, be smart and don't make the mistake i made. Busters screw up your spinning if you spin them. BTW, my pen-is about 20-21 cm, but its not that heavy, its about 15.5 grams. Buster is like 20 grams which is about the same as a STICK.

    hah dude my hands only like 16 cm long(middle finger to end of the hand) and i spin a buster pretty well, but i cannot spin a mx for some reason, its like a G2 pen when i try to spin it. It probably depends on prefence

    Its cause the momentum and weight the Buster carries >_<
    Youre so used to spinning it that you cant compare it to the MX and G2 tongue.gif

    excuse me, but have you seen the size of my hands?

    Date: Sat, May 30 2009 01:33:42

    i would say on average most mods are like 21cm
    but not everyone's hands are the same size
    like for example
    my 2 favorite mods (both personal mods)
    are 21.7cm
    and i kno people that spin 22cm pens
    and for example again
    my friend has like tiny baby hands so he spins like a smaller mod
    like 20cm~19cm

    its all about preference.

    and thats why the ZT mod exists.

    its like a "one size fits all" mod.

    I used an online ruler though. But they seem quite correct. Anyway, just proving a point that there's no specific size limit for mods. Personal preferences. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The pen size is in the hand of the pen holder.

    Length being from middle to wrist, or stretched pinky and thumb?

    Anyhow, I reach 20, and my mod is 20. Right on, I like this mod too.

    my hands are about 16cm so i dont accept any pen mod shorter than 18cm or longer than 21cm as 21cm+ pens look too long for me.

    streatch your pinky and thumb as far away as you can. Now find a mod which is around that range. I spin buster CYL which is 1cm longer than that range smile.gif. It feels great

    I started off with short pen mods (about 17-18 cm). A couple months ago, I used a 19 cm metallic comssa. At first I thought it was too long, but eventually I got used to it and now I ra rely use anything shorter. I generally spin with a 21ish cm mod, but I have to switch back to the 18.5ish cm RSVP MX to stay versatile with all types of pens. rolleyes.gif

    I recommend you do that too, in order to be able to spin with whatever you want to.

    For SC mods, I like about 19 cm, with about a CM variant...
    DC, I don't spin anything longer than 22 Cm, perfect for me is about 21. (my DC mod)

  31. Raine
    Date: Sun, Nov 22 2009 23:50:09

    I usually spin longer mods, generally around 21-23 centimeters long.

    O.O,
    i spin mods that r 18~20 cm?

    26cm. Buster. Cause I have a big hand *not chubby*

    Yeah. Whoa.

  34. Kaffatsum
    Date: Sat, Dec 5 2009 22:33:45

    My hand is about the size of a MX. But i like to spin pens that are around 19-21cm. I can spin longer ones like Buster CYL but i dont like the length.

  35. blahblahting
    Date: Sat, Dec 5 2009 22:51:22

    my hand is 18.5 cm, but i just try to spin pens no longer than 20 cm tongue.gif all my mods are too big for me lol

  36. Mr. Ninja
    Date: Sat, Dec 12 2009 22:22:00

    I used to be into short mods (18ish cm) but now I can't stand them. I spin KT, Buster, extended mx's, and anything at least 19.5cm and longer. For a nice round number, 21 is good.

    My hand from middle finger to bottom of palm/top of wrist is 18.5 cm. From pinky to thumb is 21.25 cm. Perfect. cool.gif

    I rather have semi-small hands
    To say, (may be my perspec.) I like pen mods that are about 2-5 cm above my hands

  39. Pyroshima
    Date: Fri, Dec 18 2009 23:09:34

    Why should mods be under 22 cm I thought it was all about preference
    Anyway:
    My mods are usaually about 21 - 26 cm. I prefer long with medium weight, like about the weight of a sunburst.

    it depend on your skill and your hand. like one of bonkura's mod that i forget the name. it's so short but spin realy good in his hand. my mod is usualy like 19-22. it doesn't realy matter the size. if you have a short mod,try to add some wieght to the end of the mod. long and weight mod aren't realy good. but long and light mod are usualy good. short and heavy mod are good too. maybe you should try ZT mod.

    Date: Sun, Jan 3 2010 18:05:48

    My hand is 18 cm from the tip of my middle finger to my wrist. It is preferred that your pen should be roughly that size, give or take a few millimeters.. I use a pen that close to 18.5 cm..Great size for me, but my two friends prefer using long pens (their hands are smaller than mine, I have really long fingers) and their pens are like around 22 cm...

    I don't think that there's a real way to determine that; it's all based upon personal preference.

    I dunno, somebody broke my buster's body, so I had to replace it with a commsa body, but same length, same weight, smaller body, but hey, It spins great
