Ok, so i’ve been able to do grinds pretty well with my 888, but my friend had told me to go watch the promotional video for the yo-yo on youtube. I did and was wondering what are a few things to just get a longer grind? In the video I do realize that they are professionals but i’m still wondering. They’re able to do it for 10+ seconds and I can only get about 3 on my grinds. Tips anyone?

Throw hard, use a yoyo that doesn’t have a tacky finish, and figure out how to eliminate moist hands. Gloves is a good way.
