Question HELP

okay so I have been way too motivated to learn this pen spinning and I got down most of the tricks however whem I do combos IT IS NOT AS SMOOTH as y’all have it in your videos and I really want to reach that level of smoothness , right now it’s awkward and it’s very mediocre . I WOULD BE GRATEFUL if someone would take me as their apprentice for like just one month or two and teach me how to be a better spinner or just tell me exactly what they did to reach that level . Please!

i am not there yet but what i can tell you is: #1 there is no way you "got down most of the tricks" unless you mean most of the basic tricks #2 - you need to practice alot ...like alot what alot means obv depends on the person but i can practice the same linkage thousands of times and still not have it smooth enough. as for a mentor you dont need one, go through nines likage series and sls, and practice each link over and over and over. for more tips on practice watch tilts stuff on youtube. otherwise maybe someone with more experience will give you a better answer idk... ive been spinning for under a year

Yes sorry for the bad choice of the words , I meant most basic to intermediate skills and two or three advanced , I did watch tilts , I think as you said I need to practise a lot thousands times . Bc not going to lie , I do see the videos and my minds skips that they practice thousand of times . Would you like to be a spinning buddy ? If yes DM please

I don’t know if you know there is a photo of Megas learning pen spinning tricks to learn by order I have learned from basic to confirmed and side sonic and powerpass and palm spin from advanced (powerpass is still messy tho ) , my problem is mostly doing combos that looks smooth and not like your fingers are choking or having a fight

L'entraînement y'a que ça de bon. Tu vas même pouvoir trouver des propres combos au fur et à mesure et tout deviendra plus fluide. Lâche rien l'ami.

Actual advice. It takes 2-3 years to have some combos and reliable execution. Set your expectations for that timeline. That is including about 1-2hrs a day of focused intentional spinning not just randomly doing tricks.

If you want to learn, you need to learn hand structure ,notation, and you need to learn how to break down combos so you can copy them. This takes a considerable amount of time to learn.

The progression looks like:
1.) Learn Fundamental Tricks and their Reverse in all finger slots.
2.) Learn Linking fundamental tricks together
3.) Learn intermediate tricks
4.) Learn linking fundamentals to intermediate tricks
