Woot! Made a TZ mod pen today! Thanks to heartless getting my interest on apinning pens again I was reading around on upsb.info and the telescoping zebra realy caught my interest. So with a little bit of walking around i managed to piece this together. Tomorrow i am going to change the blue rubber to black if i can find some ir if i find 1 blavk rubber going to try to inlay black rings :D
with a regular pen i have been able to do the around tge thumb move but have never been able to boince it back. Nowi can bounce it back so smooth and i leared houw to do a few other smooth moves i have already forgotten the name of lol.
If you are bored, definitely fun and challenging to learn.
Yes I made mine, I went with the zt because it's metal and heavier, also it telescopes! So it will fit in the pocket nice and can be made linger for easier learning of new tricks or made shorter for very fast tricks :D. I am much a n00b and have no combo moves but maybe Ina week :D
for the basic: any pen that you feel comfortable with is fine. not too light(means no cheapass pen) and not too thick (those hundreds dollars ones), preferably those with a rubber grip.
if you are getting the impression that you have to have a modded pen to do it then you are doing it wrong.
modded pen are rather just a special stick. I'll try film my combo later. it's only 10 seconds long if you don't repeat the tricks over and over. but hey :P
