Hey, do you guys know or have played with a yoyo that is really good at grinds? All kinds like arm, finger, thumb, and anything else? Are there some great finishes that help this too? All input would be appreciated. Yoyos, brands, finishes, etc. Thanks in advance! ---

i’d go with he dv888 because off the platabilty of string tricks incliuding one of the best grinds ever!!! It doesnt have a ridge for thumbgrind but it`s just good at thumb grinds!!|!! super uber finish for finger and palm grinds. its just so good. even smoother than a maverick!! (i know maverick sucks) ---

Bead-blasted throws tend to grind amazingly. One of my all-time best grinders was my No.9 by Rec Rev. Simply AMAZING finish. All of the Rec Rev throws seem to have the same finish, so they would grind just as well. The grinds seemed to last forever! Second to the No.9 is my OneDrop Dingo. They have a Pyramatte finish that grinds quite well too. ---

There have been many post of this, so use the search next time. Any yoyo thats annoed or blasted will grind good,but it depends mainly on how good you are with grinds. ---

My bbyy bully is great at thumb grinds, my punchline repeater is my favorite for stalls, and for finger grinds i like my yoho BvM (the finish seems different than other BvMs ive tried, i dont know why) and my ilyy josy-ann. but its mostly up to your prefrence. ---

To sum up what alot of people are saying: Any all metal yoyo grinds awesome. Aside from metals though, my suggestion is the YYJ Hitman PRO. It plays and grinds just like an all metal; and is cheaper than the Dv888 for example. Alot of all metal yoyos are expensive. With the Hitman PRO, it plays just like one for alot less money.
