    Hi guys this is my first post here so i decided to post a mod that i used when i was starting out in spinning. Hope its useful. Its also a good pen to use if you need to take it to school and afraid that your teacher confiscates it.

    Mass: About the mass of a regular pencil.
    Center of gravity: Middle or depends on amount of grips used
    Length: 18cm to 25cm (depending on caps used)

    Materials needed:
    Tombow Foam Colourful Grip - SGD$1.40 per set of 3
    Regular wooden pencil - SGD$1 per box
    Electrical tape - SGD40c to SGD70c
    Pen Caps - ?? (depends)

    Total Cost: Below SGD$5

    Tools:
    scissors and an exacto knife



    Directions:

    Wrap the pencil in a diagonal way, as if you wrap a badminton racket. This gives some mass to the pencil and increase durability. To me it adds some grip so it feels very nice

    Cut the foam grips along the segments to ensure a pretty exact amount of mass. You can customise the colours which is why i like this particular grip. It is not too light or too heavy.

    Fit the foam grips into the pencil ends.

    YOU ARE DONE!

    or else if you wish to have a longer pencil to spin, you may attach pencil caps. I leave it up to you to decide.

    HOPE YOU ENJOY THE TUTORIAL!
