Materials

  • Nitoms Stalogy ballpoint pen (barrel, tip): 2
  • Pilot Dr. Grip HDG-50R (metal ring): 2
  • Pilot Opt. / Nextage (grip): 2
  • Pilot Airblanc (grip): 1
  • hexagonal pencil (cut 5 cm): 1
  • Zebra Tect 2way (ring (decoration)): 1
  • decorative grip (the grey BT uses the flat part of the Supergrip grip, in 7 mm sections): 2

Note: either the ballpoint or mechanical pencil version works — same grip

Note: the author’s Japanese tutorial lists 2 Tect rings

Steps

Step 1

Cut two 0.5 cm sections of Airblanc grip

Step 2

Combine the Stalogy tip, Dr. Grip ring and Airblanc grip as follows: Stalogy tip < Dr. Grip ring < Airblanc grip (grip on the screw threads)

Step 3

Cut the Stalogy barrels to 9.2 cm each from the back of the barrel, then cut one 1.1 cm section from the leftover barrels

Step 4

Put the tip assembly into the cut end of the barrels (the side with the grip faces out)

Step 5

Cover the tip assembly with the Opt grip (the dimpled part faces inwards)

Step 6

Put the decorative grips next to the Opt grip

Step 7

Cut a 5 cm section of the pencil (you can apply a thin layer of adhesive on the ends to prevent the graphite in the pencil from staining the mod)

Step 8

Put the 1.1 cm section of Stalogy barrel on the center of the pencil section

Step 9

Put Tect grip rings on each side of the BT barrel section

Step 10

Connect the barrels together using the pencil (use tape on the pencil if it doesn’t fit snugly)

Notes

Nanafushi used this mod in JapEn 18th and PSO 2022 Aestheticism.

From the creator

It feels lighter than a VGG mod and reduces the burden on the fingers, while making higher-level tricks easier,
so I think it’s an all-rounder.
I hope this helps 😊

(中文翻譯:轉起來的手感比 VGG 稍微輕一點,可以減輕手指的負擔,同時更容易做出高難度的技巧,所以我覺得可以做到全方位的轉法。希望能供大家參考。)
