    4. Tutorial

    Version 1

    BODY
    Just take the body from Staedtler graphite 777


    CAPS
    First put the grip from HGG onto screw "tip" from Line Style.

    Then put the grip from Duraflash/Tianhao on HGG grip so you can see the "tip".


    MOD
    Now put together all parts. You've just finished making the mod.


    Version 2
    To make this mod you'll also need, beside parts from the first version, tips from HGG and some tape.

    BODY
    The same as in version #1.

    CAPS
    Stick the tape around the screw "tip" from Line Style (I used an isolating tape but every kind of tape will do the job as long as the tip fits).

    Then put the tip from HGG on the tape.

    Now put the grip from Duraflash/Tianhao on the cap so you can see the tip from HGG.


    MOD

    Now put together all parts. You've just finished making the mod.



    5. Pros and Cons

    Pros:
    + Easy to make (you don't have to cut anything)
    + Light (good for beginners and advanced)
    + Cheap (price drops if you'd made Line Style Mod and you have screw tip left)
    + Sticky body (Great when doing spins)

    Cons:
    - Not everybody likes light mods
    - Not everybody likes sticky mods


    I'm waiting for your opinions and have fun spinning it

    hgg + staedtler graphite+ linestyle


    anyways, looks like a pretty nice mod.
    Not entirely sure about the availability of the Staedtler graphite in the rest of the world (besides europe) but i know that the linestyle is a european pen unfortunately.
    Seems like a good mod for europe? XD

    i am liking the feel of this pen. this pen has a rather grippy, rubbery plastic feel .
