well, if you are a begginer and more interested in hub-stacks i would go with the grind machine but if you think you are ready for an unresponsive yoyo that can sleep longer for more tricks, i would deffinately go with the protostar

Protostar.

The Grind Machine is fine, no doubt about it. I like mine. I have both the Protostar and the Grind Machine and a Northstar, but I’ll exclude the Northstar since you already have.

The Protostar has a wider catch area, different design and for me as a result it’s more stable. It can’t grind very well due to the smooth surface. It also lacks stacks.

Even though the PGM is meant for grinds and a cheap entry to hubstacks, the Prototstar will be the better option foir now.
