    Have you ever wondered why some spinners spin better and smoother than others?? Why some spends lesser time in practicing but still better than others who practice a lot?? I need your opinion on what ur point of view is when it comes from identifying PSing as a talent...

    Stupid question... ofcourse it's a talent if you can spin better than other peoples who practise alot.

    Some people have the talent some don't have it.

    Pen spinning is a skill. Talent relates to how quickly you learn a skill given the amount of practice you put into it.

    For instance:

    Pen spinner A practices 2 hours per day.

    Pen spinner B practices 1 hour per day.

    They both have been spinning for one year.

    Pen spinner B is better.

    Pen spinner B is therefore more talented. B has aquired more skill with less practice time. Talent is an innate ability. Therefore, pen spinning could never be described as being a talent - It simply does not make sense.

    @stroud: Get a dictionary. That should end this discussion. There's no ifs or buts about this one.

    This was in the wrong forum to begin with...

    the question is poorly formulated,

    but I believe his real question is:

    What is more important in Pen Spinning? Nature or Nurture?

    In other words, can you become the best spinner in the world by hard work, or do you need an innate ability to spin?
