This isn't another one of those threads. When I say practice, I mean real practice, where most of the time it includes drops. It means learning some new trick or trying to get a new minicombo (or combo) down.
I do NOT mean bullshit freestyling where you do the same crap over and over again, because I know for sure that consists your entire day.






I noticed that I hardly spend any time doing REAL practice. Most of my days are just the same shit over and over and I really need to stop it. :emo:

Depends. Right now I'm not practicing much at all, but in school I practice a decent amount.

Today I only spent a total of 10 minutes of real practice. The rest were just the same crap... that took up several hours. :lol:

same here SA, during school most of my day was made up of hardcore practice...

over summer its mainly the bullshit spammy freestyling

Maybe 10 - 30 mins, depends on the day.

1-3 hours. If I like the trick i'll work on it extra harder.

I don't really practice anymore. -_-


...unless I want to try and learn something specific. Even then, I still do not practice much.

1-3 f*cking hours or until my fingers get sore.
Practice makes perfect, perfection is obsession.

0 minute, no need to practice, just thinking.

90% of Pen Spinning is half mental :banana:

99% of the time, I freestyle. Only 5 minutes are real practising. Then I get bored and start freestyling again.

I practice over 3 hours a day. I don't count bullshit freestyling in front of the tv, but if im working specifically on smoothness or something i do count it.

hey man, freestyling is very important.. i voted less then 30 minutes, though when i really practice, it's for about an hour, but i only do that like once every two weeks

You know me so well ^_^
When I practice it's usually off and on. like I start practicing, get bored, check ucpsb, remember I should be practicing, practice abit more, get bored, rinse and repeat.
But I have my usual freestyle combo down pretty good, so that's cool.

Less than an hour per week... and it'll get even less when school starts...

I dont pratice at all. So less than 30 minutes.

I rarely practice at all. It's 100% freestyling all the time for me.

I find it hard to keep on practising the same tricks but i do practice at least 30 mins a day

When i do practice though i practice one trick for like ten mins then another trick for ten minutes until im bored of practicing the same thing

Up until recently it was like 10 mins of practice and the whole day of modding/freestyling bullshit..but since I kind of come to a rut in my progression Ive been dedicating a solid hour to and hour and a half a day to learning new tricks so I can keep getting better, I dont want to get to six months of psing and still be at the same level I am now, I wanna get there and be twice as good as I am now, so Im really trying to take a step back from modding(though I really love that creative process) and focus on spinning

It's the same for me!I'm freestyling too all the time! :lol:

i pratice at least a hour other than that i juss freestyle

i basicaly dont spin outside of school

so less than 30 minutes

i spin when ever im at my computer so 3+ but its mostly freestyle

edit*
lol yes i do admit its 3+ but its not practice

More than 3 hours to real practice.

I have a lot of free time in a day.

Still a noob so I practice often...I don't practice every day, although I freestyle all day..
when I do start to learn a trick..1-3 hours.

1 hour or 2 hour :grin:

i would usually practice in all of my classes except for choir and PE. so that averages about 5 hours.

5 hours..my hand will jam :ghost:

i would say i average about 2 hours a day if i hang out with friends 5+ hours

i spend less than 30mins a day on a NEW trick, but most of the time i'm trying to smoothen a combo so it looks deceptively bonkura-ish. :lol:

spend about 2 hours a day doing that in school. so i spin about a total of 2 hours 30 mins a day.

I could give a fuck about practicing.

If its a move im trying to get, I usually try to master it to the point where I can do it consistently, or until I can successfully perform it in mini combos. Overall, my practice with new moves/mini combos would be 1-2 hours. If im practicing with my right hand, it'll take a longer time. I don't get it. Im a left handed spinner, but I write with my right hand. -_-

i don't practice anymore....
i really don't do as much penspinning as i used to.

When penspinning for me was really fun..2 years ago (its a bit jaded for me), a good 10 minutes or so.

Now it's like never, and when i get precious free time it's usually spent towards photography etc.



Umm, when did UCPSB go back up? i remember it closed awhile back.

^more than a year ago ^^

I practice less than thirty minutes a day. And the only time i really practice is while filming. While filming i think of a combo, master all the tricks in it, then send it in. That way all the tricks used in that combo are in my trick arsenal for later uses. :twisted:

haha if thats the case then...


i never practice.

i do the same things over and over and over and over.

*strat1227 stops practicing


if thats how AT does it, it must work

Less than a hour, I only practice a bit in school and before going to sleep, otherwise I just do the same stuff over and over again.

I practice like an hour and a half. But every time we go somewhere like on a trip I always bring my pen. :lol:

Probably less than an hour i guess. Though there are some days where i just dont practice at all due to being busy or modding \o/

You practice more when you hang out with friends? Damn I wish that was my case :P
The only time I ever really practice is if I'm alone, other than that I don't usually bust out my pen. It sucks 'cause most of the time I'm hangin' out with my friends, so I don't get much practice. I freestyle quite a bit, but spend a good majority of the time I practice learning and experimenting. I'd say 30 mins a day, but it's hard to say because the time I spend spinning varies from day to day. Some days I don't spin at all, some I spin for a solid 4-5 hours.

Where the fuck is a Time Chamber when we need one :P
