A stall is done by keeping the mod still, in a certain slot, without movement. The vast majority of the times, that slot is an unstable slot (i.e. pen is over some fingers rather than between them), while hold is used otherwise. The notation (finger) stall is used to indicate where it sits still, for example: index stall. The pen can be placed either horizontally or vertically the fingers, the latter requiring more skill and effort to maintain the pen balanced. Thus, the name horizontal stall and vertical stall have been used lately to distinguish them
Horizontal Stalls
There are multiple ways to execute a horizontal finger stall:
• On the back or palm of the finger.
Usually, it is done with 1 finger but it is also possible to do it with multiple fingers (Copter stall, Devil’s Horn, Spider Stall, Fist Stall, Fuck you)
• On the very tip (Devil’s stall)
• As a hold (Noels stall, Offering)
Vertical Stalls
The mod is in equilibrium on one of its tips. The tricks derived from this variation are more focus towards a motion as opposed to the spinless nature of the tricks in horizontal stalls. The motions/tricks in this category can be summarised as follows:
Bounces
Stall flip
A stall flip consists on, while doing a vertical stall, to throw the pen into the air so it does at least 0.5 revolutions, after which the vertical stall continues. The prefixes frontwards, backwards or sideways are sometimes added to specify how the pen rotates
Stable Jump
It consists of throwing the pen into the air while in a vertical stall. It has no revolutions
Upside down flip
An upside down flip is a sideways stall flip that goes under the hand. The trick has 1.5 revolutions
Metronome
In a metronome, the pen keeps changing direction due to the push of the thumb. Between pushes, it’s suspended on one of its tips on the palm
Windshield wiper
Unrelated to wipers, the pen goes from the back to the front of the hand by changing the hand position from palm down to palm up
Swing
To do a swing/lever, while palm down, hold the pen between two fingers. Now, either extend your fingers or do a sudden wrist movement so that the upper tip of the pen touches the back of your hand, and the rest of the pen becomes suspended. Due to gravity the pen falls back to your fingers, where it’s caught.
