I was wondering, should u have short nails when doing finger spins?
I think I heard somehwhere u need long ones, but wasn’t sure…
Personally, I don’t think it matters very much. I prefer spinning the YoYo on my finger rather than my nail, but some people are probably the opposite. It also depends on what YoYo you’re using. One with a very smooth hub versus one with side effects or something in the middle. For the one with a smooth hub it might be easier to just use your finger (short nail), but for a YoYo where you cannot perform a fingerspin in the very center having a longer nail can help. I think it all comes down to preference, though.
Ok so to clarify, this is finger spinning for the blasted shutter 
Are gloves necessary?
If not, then short fingernails are best for finger spins?
I have extremely long fingernails
Like Josh Yee fingernails
And I think it kinda helps me
Depends on the yoyo but u can do it eitherway… I dont notice much IF ANY improvement on fingerspins on a blasted yoyo but if its like polished or something like a Strix, you’ll definitely want to use ur fingernail
If I hop to fingerspin on a blasted yoyo, I prefer contact with the finger, not the nail. Having the tips a bit calloused and also having naturally dry hands doesn’t hurt. Can’t imagine it will work quite as well for people with soft and clammy hands.
However, to pull-start and execute a fingerspin on the Prestige’s little dimply things, I prefer a short fingernail.
Longer fingernails are better, fingernails are better at grinding than fingers.
Longer fingernails are good for learning the trick shorter are better for competition.
I wouldn’t really do fingerspins in competition ??? or do you mean when you’re better
