    It seems much more hard to do Twisted Bust at a combo with one sided pen then two sided pen...is it only me?

    Depends on the pen you use and what you prefer.

    kind of why when I see people spinning single sided mods, it makes me fell like they are better then double sided spinners. although it's wrong in most of the cases, but I believe eeryone should also practice with a single sided. X:

    If you are not used to spinning a single-sided pen/mod, I'd say that everything would be harder than double-sided, especially if the pen/mod is not completely balanced.

    There are already plenty of threads on busts, so no need for another one. Thread title changed.

    Um, I only use onesided mods. And I can do double busts no problem... blink.gif

    With the Kt, I'd say that the end weigts have more to do with it than the symmetrical sides.

    um...well even so...
    double busting a comssa i think would be easier than with an mx =\

    True. The KT has end weight, where as most other mods, some of the weight is spread along the barrel.

    The only double sided mod I spin is an F-3000, so almost anything is easier with a single sided mod laugh.gif .

    some one sided mods, like the MX, might not be balanced, so it might be harder to spin with? huh.gif

    yeahh..okay, doesn't matter if it's single or double--just depends on what pen you're using -.-''' since every pen has it's own weight and weight distribution
    so no general assumptions could be made about which one spins better: single sided or double sided mods---since it depends on which single sided mod you are comparing with which double sided mod rolleyes.gif

    It really all depends on if you actually balance the mod.
    You can adjust the RSVP MX to balance it out.
    But if I made a Metallic Comssa with uneven grippage (ha, new word), then it'd be unbalanced.

    Some single-sided mods are not perfectly balanced, so it may be harder to do some tricks with them. But it varies from each spinner, as it is all personal preference.

    i guess it depends on the comfortability of youre spinning with the pen wether its sigle or double sided

    Spinning a KT is quite hard for me due to it's heavy weight. I prefer to use MSXA because I can do most of my tricks with it tongue.gif

    i've only used a mx and comssa XD so i'm like.. everything i know is fairly easy with both.. though i couldn't get backaround at first with my comssa but my mx did much better.. it would depend on the trick i guess, imo comssa is better for most tricks, i only used mx to learn certain tricks like infinity and backaround.. something that requires more gravity than other tricks if you know what i mean.
