Counter Clockwise.

Clockwise with tablet, clockwise with mouse. I'm righthanded; could be it, but I know many people being righthanded and still spin counter clockwise. ㅇㄴㅇ ~

i spun clockwise for the 1st 5 months of playing, then i practiced and switched to counter-clockwise and never went back.

Counter clockwise, I dunno why.

clockwise, but I didn't expect the majority to be counter clockwise o.O

Counter clockwise works better for me (with a mouse at least), max is around 340 but I usually spin around 300 because I'm lazy :D

clockwise with my tablet, speed is around 300~340. counter clockwise can only get 230~250:(

counter clockwise w/ mouse. Clockwise w/ Tablet and Trackpad.
Cause I'm left handed? :P

Well, I pretty much switched to counter clockwise. I noticed that it's much easier that way.

It's simple, really.
How do you draw a circle, counter clockwise or clockwise?

i draw circles with my other hand, and in the other direction than my spins.

counter, and spinning is probably my biggest strength, i wish it was accuracy or something :(

Am I the only one who lift the mouse a bit and shaking it on spinner so I can spin in the middle and get >400SPM

Always clockwise for me. When I first played osu! on a friend's computer, she told me to try spinning counter-clockwise, and it felt really unnatural. Actually, my tablet is a bit scraped up from heavy spinning xD

Go to rage mode and spin it CCW

Clockwise; my counter-clockwise spins tend to become diagonally-tilted ellipses. >.<

Not sure why, but counter clockwise just feels better to me. I guess that it feels more comfortable to stir inwards.

^ this and it's alot easier for me to draw an "0" instead of an "O".

How do people even manage to spin clockwise if they're right handed? I can't do it at all even if I force myself. CCW with both tablet and mouse. With tablet really tiny spins around a dot in the middle of the spinner skin, getting 420~ if fired up or 360~ if lazy spinning. With mouse spinning all across the screen and getting something like 400~.

Isn't it very unnatural for the right hand to move in a clockwise circle...? CCW feels more natural for right while CW feels more natural for left.

I play right handed with a mouse, and I can't imagine spinning counter clockwise. It would feel really weird. I think I tried it once or twice, and I couldn't control it well, so I never tried again. When I started playing I just naturally spun clockwise, and I've been doing it ever since. I think I'm not the fastest spinner out there, though. I probably average 300-350 depending on how serious I am taking it. I can spin faster if I really try, but probably not sustainably for those long spinners.

My theory is that it's possible that different brain strengths might affect what direction you naturally want to move in, or possibly past muscle memory learning from other activities. However, I do think that naturally the fingers will want to draw circles in a counter clockwise direction when using a pen, because your hand has more strength in that direction, so I suspect few tablet players spin clockwise when right handed. I assumed, at first, that all mouse players would spin clockwise, because most of us are used to having a keyboard directly to the left of our mice, and naturally your body would want to move the mouse away from that obstruction. Also, the motion is similar to pealing with a knife, or other similar activities. Those are my thoughts on it.
