Wiper

Wipers are tricks performed while holding the pen at the ends and using that point as a pivot, creating rotation with gravity and or momentum generated by the arm and wrist. Wipers generally lend themselves to types of spinning that heavily use them as it's much easier to transition from wiper to wiper than wiper to non-wiper and vice versa, but they can be used in any style due to their sheer diversity and versatility.

The normal is palm-side and rotates counter-clockwise as the pen follows gravity, and the reverse rotates clockwise as it goes against gravity.

Variations

Figure 8

A simple, continuous linkage notated as such: Wiper T1 -> PD Wiper Reverse T1.

Infinity

Another continuous but slightly more complex linkage notated as such: Wiper T1 -> PD Pass T1-12 -> PD Wiper Rev 12 -> Pass Rev 12-T1.

Double, triple, and quadruple versions are rarely used terms that describe including the middle, ring, and pinky fingers respectively to extend the linkage.

Fingercross

Any wiper performed with at least one finger holding the pen in the fingercross position.

Palm

Wipers can be performed using just one finger by holding the pen against the palm.

1P1H Twirls

This variation uses a thumb slot and is performed with one finger holding the pen on the palm side and the other on the back hand, with the positions swapping during execution.
