I am new to pen spinning and pretty much until a few days ago I didn't do anything in the 34 slot due to habit. Now I have been practicing charges, sonics, twisted sonics, etc in that slot and I find it opens the door to a lot of new things I can do. So I was wondering if you guys could make a list of good habits, not just the obvious but things that newbies like me might overlook. Thanks!

- Always practice linking, not just the individual trick. Also, practice linking the multiple ways to get into and out of the trick
- Never attempt to catch the pen from falling with your other fingers. Just let it fall. My pinky raises a lot because of this bad habit
- At least several times a week, go outside your comfort zone. Try something new
- Never get into the same minicombo for an extended period of time. I stuck with the same 6 minicombos over a period of 3 years and I'm really behind
