you got that right rudy.  i love pen spinning.  i can't do all the fancy
stuff at the site above, but i've downloaded all the movies and will be
practicing any of them i don't already know.

wow garrett, that's the same place i picked it up too.  i'm also stuck using
my right-hand only.  i bet if i started practicing i could get my left-hand
up to about 80%.  (i did the same thing in basketball and got to the point
of being able to shoot three-pointers with my left hand)

you can use whatever you like as long as it doesn't have a spinner with a
finger attachment.

;p

as for me, i'll be using a very nice jorg hysek handmade ballpoint pen i
bought just because it looked perfect for spinning.  normally around
$400usd, i picked it up off of ebay for $250usd.  not only is it great for
spinning, it's also a really fine writing instrument.
