Directional variations

Normal: the pen rotates in a clockwise motion (right-handed performance) for 1.5 rotations throughout the entire hybrid combo.

Reverse: the pen rotates in a counter-clockwise motion (right-handed performance) for 1.5 rotations throughout the entire hybrid combo.

Written naming convention

(Inverse) Twisted Sonic (Direction) (number of spins) (starting position)-(ending position)

When writing a Twisted Sonic in breakdown form, the above convention will detail what happens throughout the entire hybrid.

The modifier, Inverse, is written if the pen travels in the same direction but is Passed over the opposite side of the finger.
The name, Twisted Sonic.
The direction can be omitted. When direction is omitted, it is assumed to be a Twisted Sonic Normal.
The number of spins can be omitted. The full Twisted Sonic hybrid only has 1.5 rotations.
The starting and ending positions can be omitted.
- When both positions are omitted for a Twisted Sonic Normal, it is assumed to be a Twisted Sonic Normal 23-12.
- When the positions are both omitted for a Twisted Sonic Reverse, it is assumed to be a Twisted Sonic Reverse 12-23.
- If only the ending position is omitted for a Twisted Sonic Normal, it is assumed to only move up one finger slot.
- If only the ending position is omitted for a Twisted Sonic Reverse, it is assumed to only move down one finger slot.

Twisted Sonic Normal 23-12

1. The pen starts between the middle and ring fingers, the same starting position as Sonic.

2. Perform a 1/4 Charge 23 motion. As the pen reaches 1/4 rotation, begin a Pass Reverse 23-12 motion.

3. Continue the Pass Reverse 23-12 allowing the pen to continue in with the smooth, circular motion of the Charge 23.

4. Release the pen from the Ring finger to finish the Pass Reverse 23-12.

5. Perform another 1/4 Charge motion, this time between the index and middle fingers. Catch the pen between the index and middle fingers or in the writing position.
