    I noticed like a week ago that when I spin my hand is slightly palm up to angle towards my face so I can see it better.... Is this normal or should I try to keep my hand horizontal?

    Nothing wrong with that, its just a style your hand(s) develop.

    Doesn't really matter so long as you can still do the combo's you want. Although some hand angles are better for video's but that can always be fixed by changing the position of the camera.

    Lol

    I'm also having a palm up problem, with my right hand (my main hand is my left), only I'm having trouble spinning with the palm facing me dry.gif My hand just feels as if it's in a really awkward position, so I have to spin palm down...

    What the hell? Since when is having your hand in any specific postition a problem? If you can perform a trick with your hand vertical/horizontal/diagonal/upside-down/whatever... go ahead and do it.

    The only time this is a problem is when you film, but if you try hard enough you should find a good angle that fits your style.

    I have this problem too, but I'm working it out ^^

    I have this "problem" as well, but its never affected my spinning, sometimes it requires extra practice to overcome the angle with certain tricks like the TA harmonic, but whatever, its easier than twisting my hand.

    Well, I want to be able to tilt my hand however I want while I am doing a combo, I mean.. say tricks like Inv Shadow and Palmspin, good luck doing those palm-down. Also, you can give some combos a cool effect by adjusting your hand during a combo.
