Hey guys, I’m doing a revision on a yoyo i’m making, and want to put a finger spinning aspect into it, what is your favorite finger spinning element? ---

for finger spinning tricks I prefer yoyos that are pretty empty on the sides. just a flat side. that way I can immediately move on with the trick and not take forever getting the yoyo centered. for just fingerspinning… any of those options work. ---

It’s strange. I have an Elysian, it has that dimple in the center to make finger spinning easy…yet I can’t finger spin that too well. Neither can I do it with my Horizon (Raised bowl). I’ve had best results with yoyos like my Aviator 2 (large flat surface), and my Shu-ta. Waiting for my Move to get here to see how that goes as it looks like one uniform bowl that meets at a sharp point in the center. ---

I have both the Horizon and the Shu-ta and both handle fingerspins very differently. The Horizon (and I can safely say, the MOVE as well) does a very nice center fingerspin with its concave, so it can stay on your finger for a VERY long time, long enough for you to nail some pretty sick grind combos. The Shu-ta however has a flatter (and smaller) fingerspin area, so it’s harder to nail a nice fingerspin. But it is precisely because of its difficulty that makes it such a fun yoyo to do fingerspins with. The Horizon beats the Shu-ta at fingerspins hands down, but sometimes I just like to do it on the Shu-ta. It somewhat feels more satisfying xD ---

> [@abby1371](#): > > I really like the horizons finger spinning ability with it’s cup I fin that works best. I have to agree that the Horizon is the best cup design for finger spinning. The C3 MOVE has very similar too. I think that the Orbis is a pretty good design also. I can almost fingerspin just as well with that. ---

For me, nothing beats the General Yo prophecy for finger spins. The unique center ring and nub provide an almost frictionless groove that just rests on your finger. It provides a completely unique feel that I can’t get when using any of my other throws. ---

I like the way the Elysian is shaped with the axle. However, I don’t like the Elysian for anything else other than for fingerspins. If another company makes a yoyo with the axle exposed kind of thing that the Elysian has for around $100 and plays well as a yoyo, I will certainly be interested. ---

Yea, I’ll have to agree with you there. I’ve gotten better over the past few days spinning my Elysian. I think I’ll have some pretty amazing results too with the Move, that is when the USPS decides to make their delivery. I could have had it Friday but they let something slip through the cracks and now should see it today. ---

I think the Elysian _happens to have_ an exposed axle. I don’t think that aspect of it is a differentiator from other designs. It is handily the easiest yoyo to fingerspin. Haven’t tried a MOVE yet, but it easily trumps the Horizon, Shu-Ta, Prestige, etc. To me it is a concave cup that’s more acute than that found on the Horizon, and which just happens to have an exposed axle. Side note about the Prestige: you don’t fingerspin on the raised dimple. Normally, at least. I mean, if you can hit it, you get long fingerspins; however, the intention isn’t to hit it, but rather the channel just outside of it. ---

Just received my Move. Definitely has a different feel than the Elysian. I want to describe it as if the Yoyofficer Quash had a bowl instead of a flat face. I’m going to switch out the bearing when I get home in favor of a concave/centering bearing as I got some unexpected snags. Also need to break in the pads but man, this thing is great at spinning! ---

Normally, at least. I mean, if you can hit it, you get long fingerspins; however, the intention isn’t to hit it, but rather the channel just outside of it. You see, I happen to hit the bump on the prestige a lot, and that is why I asked the question. The design I ended up going with is like the prestige but easier to hit and closer to the bottom of the cup. I guess we will see how it turns out when I get the proto next week. ---
