I recently ordered a capless and I’m wondering if it’s good for horizontals and/or grinds. Thanks in advance! 🙂 ---

It’s probably not going to be the best grinder because of the shiny surface. It’ll probably shoot off of your hand if you try and do any grind without a glove on. Judging by the shape of the yoyo it would probably handle horizontal tricks just fine. ---

I have one of them and it grinds just fine. =) Yuki ---

It does grid but it isn’t very good. I own one and it is difficult to do palm grinds and finger grinds due to the finish, but arm grinds and thumb grinds are just fine. Not the best tho ---

I enjoy doing finger grinds with mine. Because of the “stickier” surface you can achieve an almost vertical angles with your finger. Looks like it is defying physics. ---

Almost any C3 is designed with horizontal play in mind. As far as grinds, some surface treatments work better than others for individuals. I will say grinding with a smooth yoyo is NOT fun!(as in a smooth surface!) ---
