Okay, I’m looking for a new metal, I narrowed my choices down to these, I don’t care much about the shape and size. I love grinding and would prefer the finish to be similar to my hatrick, which of these is the best for my preferences PS I know someone who sells these yo-yos so I can purchase them ---

I havent tried a 4xl but the 888 is great on grinds and similar to the hatrick. the p2 is fast has a groove finish that is good for grinds and plays great imo. ---

09 888 is not bead blasted. So the grinds is not tht good. P2 has a textured finished and it also has grooves that aids grinding. ---
