Is the Grind Machine any good? It looks like a pretty fun yoyo. ---

Yeah its good get the stackless version if you can. Hubstacks are fun at first but boring later on. ---

I dislike it with a passion. (Not to much though) It’s high walls gave me the ba-jeebers. There are better stacked throws out there. ---

[/quote] What are your preferences/skill level? [/quote] I like all styles of yo-yoing. I like metal and plastic yoyos. I also like pretty unresponsive yoyos. My favorite yoyos are the DMII and the Surge. ---

Hubstacks I found boring, but the grind machine can use z stacks which are much more fun to use and when I had a g5 I used them quite frequently with combos ---

The Stacked Catalyst is not a bad option either. ---

Pretty good throw I guess. And I tried a grind machine from a local shop, and didn’t lke it and I find hubstacks boring… ---

Ok, here’s the thing… If you want a competition style yoyo, the grind machine is not for you. If you want a fun pocket yoyo, then pick one up. They can take a beating and are pretty thin so it can fit in your pocket. I reccomend you buy some irpads for it though. Binds are pretty slippy with the thing. I hope this helps!
