How do you get the yoyo to stay in your palm when you grinding. When i do it, it just flies off of my hand and then I get mad. Please reply ---

Its really about the surface of the yoyo. If your using a plastic then is not use, plastics tend not to grind well. Just an FYI, the poll was pointless. ---

make sure your hand isnt wet or sweaty. are you throwing a breakaway? if so just tilt your hand a little more. it helps to have an anodized yoyo ---

Just throw a Breakaway and catch it in your palm, when you catch it tilt your hand so the yoyo will have to go uphill to come out of your palm. Keep tilting until you find that sweetspot. Once you found the sweetspot you will just have to practice landing it over and over and you’ll get it 😃 I hope this helps :-/ ---

before i grind, put o little bit of lotion on the spot where you will be grinding.(hands, arms, etc.) Let it dry for a few minutes until your hands feel like butta. It also helps if your yoyo is bead blasted, well thats at least what works for me. If you did not know already, if your metal yoyo has one scratch or knick in it, it will cut up your arms while its on it.(learned that the hard way :-[) ---
