@penaddict As a former high school and college debater, I think your listener question was probably talking about actually flipping the pens -- as in, spinning them around thumb and fingers. Very common thing among debaters (at least Back in the Day) -- skill at that was almost as important as winning the debates! And some pens much more balanced for it than others.
@johns you are correct! They did clarify and I mention the Pentel RSVP as the classic spinners pen.
