I just ordered some yoyos and i am a little concerned cause i believe the all have a glossy finish on them and i have never tried a glossy yoyo. What do you all think about glossy yoyos,will i be able to to finger grinds and other stuff,does this finish limit me in any other way? ---

Short finger grinds are okay if you have dry weather and hands but obviously not comparable to blasted throws. ---

I do prefer blasted, sometimes with glossy when you do a combo and the yoyo hit your skin as mistake the yoyo can change direction or lose power, blasted is much more friendly to those mistakes, generally glossy seems a bit more sticky (it depend of the weather as well). ---

Blast is not only good for techs like grind but I think it has less slip loss than Glossy does, but when it comes to feeling, I love the Glossy yoyo’s feeling when it binds into your hands ---

if you have a yoyo glove glossy are very nice and grind for ages, some people also enjoy the shiny look if you prefer not to play with a glove then blasted are clearly better for grinds ---

Glossy yo-yos look better…… Blasted yo-yos function better. If you seriously prefer the appearance of glossy yo-yos, you have an option.\> Simply wear a glove on your non throw hand and grind away.(problem solved). ---

as long as your hands are dry you can possibly grind a glossy finish yoyo without an issue or even better use a glove ---
