    Personally, I prefer single-sided mods.

    I want to spin a pen, not a weighted stick.

    This should go under general discussion..... but I prefer both

    I prefer double sided mods for the sole reason that they are normally well balanced happy.gif

    It doesn't matter to me . As long as it's longer than a ballsign. tongue.gif

    Well right now I only have single sided that I spin with. But I'm waiting on penwish for my comssa's

    I prefer single sided pens because they actually look like a pen, and because double sided mods feel weird. I don't spin them that often.

    I make no preference, because if I can spin the pen then it's okay. It doesn't matter if the pen is Single sided or Double sided..

    Single-sided mods because they tend to look more pen-like. Also, these pens tend to be more specialised. (eg. infinity on one side only) Hence, this makes spinning them more difficult to spin with.

    i like single sided mods better just sheerly cause they look better
    even if it's not that great for spinning and not that balanced, i'd still use it just cause it looks better

    weight influences my choice more than aesthetics...

    but...

    single sided (MSXA,MX,GJH) look much shweeter than them comssas or KTs

    I like spinning with double-sided mods 'cause it's easier for me, but in terms of looks, I like single sided mods since they look better, and 'cause you can put inserts in them... Though there are clear KT's, clear Comssa's, RSVP VX... etc.

    No preference, I switch between comssas and MXs every 5 minutes.

    I prefer double-sided mods (I think double capped would be a better term) because when you do an infinity or a trick that is leaning toward one end, with a double capped mod it would feel similar on either end.

    Single-sided. The whole point is pen spinning...I don't like the idea of all those symmetrical weighted sticks like the Dr.Kt or his brothers.

    Single sided! I like how it looks like a "normal pen".. the weight (balance) isn't too bad, it is still spinable biggrin.gif

    whats wrong with a baton looking pen? so its a mini-baton for the fingers, SO THE FUCK WHAT?
    i love double sided mods, it allows for a more diverse trick library. It just feels more comfortable, who cares what everyone else thinks?

    Well to be honest, I don't really care whether a mod is single or double sided. I've got a single and a double sided mod and I spin just as well with each.

    Double-Sided 'sticks'.


    Sort of a 'fashion statement'.

    Very Heavy Mod too. tongue.gif

    double-sided mods. they are 'better' for spinning, and they look better (to me) smile.gif

    I spin unmodded pencils, hmm, I don't see an option for that.

    Elaborate...? Why would a double-capped/sided mod allow me to do more tricks? I might just be stupid, but I don't see how. tongue.gif

    Double, because they're more balanced and better-looking. And the biggest part of my collection are double sided.

    I'm getting some double-sided mods (Metallic Comssa, KT) soon, so hopefully those will change my opinion.

    The only double-ended mods I've had so far are shitty BICtories that I've made.
