• It's not easy to find the right traction for your middle finger. Pulling too hard will make the pen fly away, but if pulled too lightly, the pen will not be able to fully rotate around the thumb. Iron grinding takes days to hand - over time, you'll know how much force it takes for the pen to rotate "properly."

Rotate your wrist to give more force to rotate the pen around your thumb. Beginners often have difficulty rotating the pen. Usually the hardest part is getting the pen to rotate enough around the thumb. To make this easier, you should rotate your wrist while dragging your middle finger. Gently rotate your wrists (like turning a doorknob) out of your body while pulling on your middle finger. This will add more force to the pen, in addition to helping your fingers avoid the pen's rotation.

Move your fingers so you don't get in the way of the pen. When learning how to rotate the pen, it is important to pay attention to where your fingers are after "pulling" the middle finger inward. A common beginner's mistake is to accidentally let the index or middle finger interfere with the pen's path. There are many techniques for moving fingers - here are two ways:

• After pulling back on your middle finger, bring both your index and middle fingers together so they are below the joint of your thumb. The pen will rotate around the thumb that is on the index and middle fingers.
• Simultaneously fold the middle finger at the knuckle closest to the palm of the hand, and stretch the index finger as far away as possible. The middle finger will rest on the thumb on the inside of the last vertebra. The pen will not hit the index finger that is extended far away.

Catch the pen. The most impressive part of this game is not really the pen swing phase, but when the spinner can grab the pen easily and repeat continuously. After you get used to the pen rotation, practice "catching" the pen without having to pounce. After a rotation, the pen will go from bottom to top on middle finger. When it makes contact with the middle finger, use your thumb and index finger to keep the pen level on opposite sides.

Practice, practice and practice. When you are first practicing, the pen rotation will look awkward. However, like other dexterous activities (like cycling), over time the movements will become so natural that you want to rotate. wrong way also difficult. When practicing, you need to experiment with pen positions, technique and rotation to find the perfect match.

• Once you've mastered the pen in your dominant hand, you can try it with your non-dominant hand!

Advice

• Do not pull too hard on the middle finger when rotating the pen upwards. Try to avoid pushing too hard, or the pen will fly out of your hand.
• Remember, you SHOULD NOT bounce the pen. Tapping the middle finger in will cause the pen to rotate around and drop from the hand. If the pen flies away without touching the outside of your thumb, you are bouncing.
• When the pen rotates properly, the center of gravity of the pen will be between the thumb.
• If you still cannot do it, check if your thumb is flat or not. This is the position the pen will rotate on. Don't tilt your thumb to push the pen away.
• When you can master the rotation, try practicing in the opposite direction. To return the pen to its original position. Find online tutorials on how to rotate the pen in reverse.
• If you are rotating the pen disproportionately, hold the heavier end.
• To make it easier to practice rotating the pen, imagine rotating the pen OVER your thumb at the base.
• Practice with a long pencil first, then upgrade to a shorter pen.
• After pulling back your middle finger, try to move your thumb so that the space between your thumb and hand is wider. This will make more space for the pen to fall in.
• This game is easier to do with the long pen.

Warning

• When pulling back on your middle finger, don't pull too hard. You only need very little force to be able to push the pen around.
• Never use a pencil with a sharp tip.
• A pencil without a bowel is better to avoid stabbing your hand.
• Be careful not to let the pen shoot in your eyes or in others.

What you need

• Ballpoint pen or pencil. A unpolished pencil is best because it is long, heavy enough, and well-proportioned. Some people who love to rotate the pen even edit the pen for more convenience.
• Try using a drumstick. It is quite heavy so it is difficult to turn quickly. You should hold at the center point for easier rotation.
