Grinding Problem

I like to do grind tricks. Whether it is thumb or regular ones, it’s cool and it’s fun to do. My problem lies with regular grinding. When I jerk my yoyo up to land on my hand, it grinds for a little bit, then just suddenly snaps back to my hand, while its on my arm, and IT HURTS :cry: Is there a way to stop this?I don’t know how much more the back of my hand can take.

Try cleaning the bearing or breaking in the response. Thats happening because your throw is a little responsive.

keep the slack string away from the yoyo

This is because the yoyo is snaggy most likely because of lube. If you watch how Andre grinds in his tut, he holds the string. If you do that, it wont snap back. Break the bearing in, or clean the bearing.
