you’d think weird topic at first but it got my curiosity peaked and i needed answers that are hard to come due to the rarity of both topics colliding, or so i thought.

quick thinking to quench this feeling and made a connection between throwing yoyo and throwing baseball, surely they had a discussion before and sure enough they had alot of it on fingernail.

now i realize even more how important it is to keep good fingernails for hand and finger activities (hindsight DUH). and that id be laughing a lot if i see a competitor with colorful cerakote nails  
in nationals for protection and coordination advantage. 🤣

Do longer nails help thumb grinds? Ive been messing with them here and there and I feel like they got in the way for me recently but I am also pretty novice with them. Fingerspins they definitely help some.

What about hair length? I have relatively short hair and it may be why I’m not too good.
