I’m digging on my Omnicron x for grinds, which I believe had the same treatment as OD does, but for some reason it feels better on the hand than my onedrops. ---

> [@yooldman](#): > > Not the Lesula? How about a long grind challenge? :wink: Not the Lesula. The Minute can excel at every single type of grind. The Lesula’s shape lends it well to finger grinds, so part of the grind longevity is the ability to keep it balanced for a long time… but I’m sure the Minute’s finish (at least my gold one… I doubt they’re different from colour to colour, though!) is the better-grinding finish. Those palm grinds… Minute’s got’em. Cup grinds (finger and thumb inserted into cup), Minute wins. It can also do matador, which you simply don’t have on the lesula. Finger grinds… hard to say. I might be able to crank out a longer one on the Lesula owing to the shape. :wink: For finger grinds, though, even better than the Lesula is the 3yo3 AL5 or the 2sickyoyos Gambit. That slightly concave “scooped” catch zone is a perfect fit for the finger! ---

> [@saintrobyn](#): > > Best grinding yo-yo I have ever played with is the General Yo 5-Star v2. I agree with this. General-Yos have a very good finish. The X^3 Steamroller is also worth a mention. I believe that is the wide X^3 anyways. ---

If anyone here has tried one, the deadly spins wrath is very nice for grinds. Cup grinds feel amazing because of the IGR and the deep cups. Finger and palm grinds are also great. It’s too bad that they don’t plan on another run for a while. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/best-grinding-throw/65026.md?page=2)
