Nine

Nine is a spinner from UPSB and Fen Spinner. He was World Champion in the Pen Spinning World Cup 2022 with his team Final Boss and came top 8 in the Pen Spinning World Tournament 2019.

Originally starting as an RSVP MX spinner, Nine switched switched to using an Energel ST and training more technical content in 2018. He rose in popularity after copying a combo from Slofis and performing advanced linkages in WT19. Notably, his distinctive spinning style fuses technical and aesthetic spinning, combining high difficulty and structure with much higher execution than normal for technical spinners.

Nine famously didn't submit a video for round 4, after failing to land his combo's finisher on camera. This led to a series of long-running jokes and memes about him not submitting versus his opponent, DArKT. The combo video with the failed finisher is unlisted and has been shared, with comments from his opponent that he likely would have won if he was able to successfully land it.

Nine joined Fen Spinner in late 2021 and later agreed to join a team comprised of spinners from The Workshop and Fen Spinner for World Cup. However, disagreements led to splitting off and forming a new team entirely of Fen Spinner members: Final Boss. Nine would go on to win every battle he was in while competing in the event, with Final Boss achieving a crushing 5-0 victory in the final round.
