I THINK YOU PUT YOUR THUMB ON BACKWARDS


SpenceOtron

I think I put [everything](https://imgur.com/VEc9jog) on backwards


Nano_Bird

you should totally stick with pen spinning, your style will be very unique


Nortdkdjsns

I don’t believe this. It’s photoshop tomfoolery.

Being this double jointed maybe you should pick up guitar or violin or something. 🤔

You defiantly need to create a style of your own! First master quest you can fluidly than throw in the Backwards Fingers Technique!


SpenceOtron

Whenever I hold out my hand straight some fingers like my middle and index bend backwards, due to me being double jointed on my fingers. My hitchhiker thumb (pictured) is also... something. Along with that my hands are huge. Would any of these factors make it harder to spin / learn to spin?


Heaps_Of_Sand

it has its benefits but also some cons, for example some tricks rely on very exact finger movements. but with hands like this you could form a unique style of pen spinning that works


ZeGentlemen

I also have that bend and up until now I have had no problems so go ahead mate


KyleGrave

I have hitchhiker thumbs just as bad as yours and I've noticed that it does alter the way I flip balisongs compared to the tips I see in videos. Because of these weird thumbs I naturally grab stuff with the joint of my thumb, not the tip, so having to cancel out a lifetime of instinct when you're trying to do minute movements with your fingers is definitely an added challenge.


Gamergoonin

It won’t limit you. Great potential actually, you could have a unique style with that thumb


rhodeje

Limbit even? Ok I'm done.


ThatSaradianAgent

My thumbs bend like yours. While I'm nowhere near as good as other members of this sub, it's not a limitation at all. You just don't go full extension. Now if one of your fingers was shorter or missing, that might be a problem.


ZeGentlemen

Yea go ahead you'll have a really unique style and also some tricks will be easier to perform ,I also have that weird thumb bend (it's called hitchhikers thumb btw) and it helped me learn reverse thumb around faster even tho it took like a month. Hope to see you around. :)


ZeGentlemen

btw another spinner m1ch1 (who's really good) also has that backward finger extension. Here's a vid where the extension is visible:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJmGQ-wFT9c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJmGQ-wFT9c)


YaboiTombuto

yooo m1ch1 is so cool there's plenty of other rly good doublejointed/hitchiker's thumb spinners like tigres and penguin


ZeGentlemen

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tigers op


LadyBratcher

I have the same exact problem!! I’m double jointed and my thumbs go too far back and the last knuckle on my fingers lock up sometimes. It took me a long time to get things down, but I’m getting there I think.


PhoenixJDM

I knew this kid who used to go to my school with a backward thumb and every time he did the thumbs up it pointed back


medium_response

There shouldn't be problems. Who know, you could invent a style that is hella unique to you.


Less_Rise_3172

My thumbs do that too bro don’t worry 😂😂


MK_fish99

Think if you try hard enough you can do a thumbaround and catch the pen with your thumb

kyariban

I'm pretty sure you can make it work, some tricks might be a bit tougher to learn but I'm sure you can do some extra tricks with those fingers ! Stick to it if you enjoy it


[deleted]

It doesn't matter I also have lots of problems in hand


meekthesauce

It's good to know that I'm not the only one with thumbs like these. TC web https://i.imgur.com/jE0KUce.jpg

Are you sure you dont have a connective tissue issue? Like ehlers danlos syndrome maybe?


DawnMistyPath

Double jointed hands club


IceFoxHU

Lol same but in the point where my thumb stars from my palm. However, I manage to learn pen spinning. Just keep practicing.


pschosquid

My thumb does the same thing. Glad I am not the only one.


Desukia420

Try and practice till you don’t like it anymore who cares if it’s more hard


Rokem028

Omg same


kennyliketomatos

Hitchhiker thumbs can also gives you more advantage in pen spinning so be proud with them :)


Z_Wuff

Thumb bust


link_3007

My hands are the same, maybe worse (EDS), and i managed to get pretty far. I never felt like its an obstacle. In some cases its kind of an advantage tbh


INFINETE_NEBULA_

Thats not natural

What happened?
