Man I remember i used to spin my pen too back when I was still in HK. I spent most of my time in the classroom getting stupid lecture which I forgot after tests . We definitely need some fun activities during those meaningless, boring school days.

In fact, Pen spinning freestyle is a new sport and has yet to have its standard, but I just found one video talk about how to make a more "standard" size and weight pen for this freestyle. In the video, it said that a standard pen should be: length 18~23cm and Weight 17g; also it is important to have equal weight on both sides on a pen. If a pen is too light or you want to feel the weight, you can always add a rubber grip on each edges to have a better touch.
