I'm right-handed though I spin clockwise, I can't spin counterclockwise at all. If I try I just end up drawing lines back and forth.
It's the other way around for me. I spin CCW right handed, when trying to spin CW I don't even manage to keep the cursor in the center lol

Spin the way you spin faster.
I can spin CCW&CW as well

the community is getting more intelligent every day
The positive side to that is that the new user had the presence of mind to use the search function when seeking information on the forums, rather than just making another spam post of "guys which way do I spin!?". At least that's how I see it :)

The one guy (who spinning 450) told me "You must find your own technique" but I tried everything with no result so God da*n it idk how to do it :x :cry:

Anti-clockwise!!
It's because of the osu! tutorial beatmap, I think...~ ;o
Karuta-_old_1
right handed, CounterClockwise all the way
I used to spin all over the place: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/14584&m=0 (Easy mode)
but now I try to focus on the center so I don't break my combos

but spinning all over the place earns me more points since I don't need to think at all
but I lose track of my cursor

(and by the way, I am one of those who is curious about which direction people like to spin)

Why does this thread keep coming back >:

Dunno. But I'll just add that I love long spinners. And to spin them ccw.
:D

I love spinners in general. With mouse.

Hate them with tablet.
Almost
Spinners are the bane of my existence. :(

I used to spin CCW, then for some strange reason I started spinning CW and I broke my rpm record (previously 450, now 465, although my average is 400-410 :P)
Dekonare
Spinning CCW. I should try to spin CW just for fun and see how it goes.
ieb
right-handed, clockwise
Yasen Baka
I am left-handed and I spin clockwise. I'm a terrible spinner since I can't spin that fast even though I'm desperately making circular motions with my mouse. I'm probably doing it incorrectly.

Spinner's are kind of a bonus point extra to me. But what way do we actually need to spin the spinner? I spin anti-clockwise since I'm right handed and I play with a laptop finger sense mouse. (strange that I play with that huh?) In the tut beatmap, it shows the spinner going clockwise. But I've always done it anti-clockwise. So far I've only seen about 4 people spin anti-clockwise. To sum this up in a question, what way do we ACTUALLY need to spin?

edit: User preference.
i do spin anti-clockwise as well but i'm left handed. it's subjective.

Haven't seen this thread for a while. Might as well update.

I spin clockwise for short spinner, Counter-Clockwise for longer spinners. I go faster with clockwise for a short time only.
TakuMii
I spin counter-clockwise on both my left and my right hand. I'm slower with my right, but I'm not sure if it's because it's my non-dominant hand or because I can't spin as well with a mouse.
Winshley
I still spin counter-clockwise with my right hand, as usual.

I do have tried spinning clockwise, and it's as horrible as MillhioreF's... ;w;
JAKACHAN
I still don't see why on someone's first post ever they decide to necro a 6 month thread instead of posting in a recent, but oh well.

I spin either nowadays but my counter-clockwise is better than my clockwise.
Nessuka
The thread title made me laugh a bit.

Nobody needs to spin any way, but if you insist on it, do whatever doesn't break your wrist quicker.
In my case, CCW is how I roll spin.
Rokk
I hold my mouse with my right hand, and spin Clockwise.

Once I get a tablet, I'm going to play left-handed and spin Counter-Clockwise.
Knarf
I spin counter-clockwise with right hand. I think it is much natural, but many people spin with clockwise :?

I'm left handed.But I Can't spin
Story
I spin clockwise with a tablet pen on my right hand

I went ahead and graphed all of the responses in this thread. pretty much as predicted.
GoombaJMR
I spin CCW...and I'm right handed
My friend is Right handed as well but he spins clockwise...just such a weird feeling for me though ...
I can get some seriously good spins with ccw.
MarioBound
I spin anti-clockwise.

What way do we ACTUALLY need to spin?
The fastest way possible.


Now, seriously, there are techniques for both pen and mouse spinning which help to reach high speed and maintain it. If I had sth to record with I'd make some kind of tutorial for mouse spinning since I can spin pretty good. I can't explain in words how does my technique works, I can say weight distribution/disposition plays crucial role.

Just about every right handed person will spin anti-clockwise naturally.

It really doesn't matter.
wtf I spin it clock-wise and I'm right handed. And here, I thought everyone else was weird because I keep seeing them spin counter-clockwise.
