– 3 Emboss Dual Pen (Barrels, 2 white, 1 black)

–Tutorial :
1- Gather the stuff needed (1 black Emboss barrel and Tect2way rings are missing in the picture)
2- Cut the G3 caps to 1.2-1.3 cm from the bottom
3- Cut your white Emboss barrels to 8cm from the back and cut your black Emboss barrel around 8mm from the back.
4- Cut your CT barrel to 3.5cm from the back.
5- Connect your Emboss barrels (white | black |white) with the 3.5cm CT barrel.
6- [Optional] Cut the nib of your Dr. Grip tips with a pair of wire cutters.
7- Cut 7mm of your Hyperjell grip and stack it with the Dr. Grip tip and the metal ring as shown below (*note, the wider side of the Dr. Grip ring is facing up)
8- Cut 7 stripes of your Anyball grip (from the front of the grip).
9- Invert the Anyball grip from the previous step. Put 4 blocks of Anyball into the cap (the front section) and leave a 1mm gap in the cap
10- Add the tip stack inside, and “unfold” back the Anyball grip onto the G3 cap.
11- Hardest part of this mod if you’re not used to overgripping : Put your Supergrip grip over the 10th step. (cut your Supergrip grip as shown below)
12- Add onto the 11th step : 4 stripes of black Anyball (from its back) > 1 silicon ring > 4 stripes of skyblue Anyball > 3 stripes of black Anyball (from its front) (1 block of Supergrip should be left exposed)
*1 Tect2 way silicon ring is missing
13- Add 3 stripes of black Anyball as shown and plug the 12th step on each side of the barrel.
The mod should be done 🙂 Congrats !
Comment :
One of the most famous pen mod from Menowa* since 2015-2016! The feeling while spinning was very unique at the time he created it, because the weight distribution is on the entire length of the mod, not only at the extremities. Good mod for stall tricks as well.
Also, it is very hard to make beautifully if you are not used to overgripping. You have to stretch stiff grips without ripping them. You need both patience and skills ^^
