I’ve gotten some incredible grinds from my YYF Shutter. As for plastics, my YYF One with a C Bearing mod grinds **very** well. ---

For finger grinds specifically I’ve found the Libero to be great. There’s minimal skin contact due to the steep shape around the bearing; the H shape lends itself to remaining stable and locked onto your finger while spinning a good while; and the blasted finish is very good. ---

When I want a long and stable grind this is the yo-yo I reach for. It’s blasted very smooth and like @lex said, The steep drop to the gap gives me a nice little spot to balance on. The cups are rounded and just deep enough for talon style grinds and just lightly hangs on my fingers. ---

Duncan Roadrunner. The finish combined with the shape and grooves in the gap make it crazy good for finger grinds. ---

Yea the response isn’t my favorite but if you get the right pad/string combo it’s manageable. Otherwise, it’s a very fun and capable throw. I really enjoy it for 5A. ---
