	Historically beginners were recommended lighter mods on a progressive scale towards longer and heavier mods as they became more experienced. This has been largely rejected by the community as there's no evidence for lighter mods helping to build control or learn tricks better. In fact, buying a very light or short mod can make it incredibly ''difficult'' to learn new tricks and demotivate newer spinners. Some videos are still up that recommend lighter mods like the [[RSVP MX]] and [[Metallic Comssa]].

	'''DON'T BUY A [[Waterfall\|WATERFALL]]'''. Or a [[~~flying panda~~]] for that matter. These two mods are short, have poor weight distribution and are very expensive for what they give you. The reynolds caps are also prone to brittle fractures, causing the signo tips to come free. You are almost always better off getting an [[Ivan Mod]] or, if you really can't stand the extra weight, a [[Hash Comssa]]. Both of these options are cheaper, more durable and handle much better.
