> [@yoyomaverick](#): > > What’s up with everyone wanting irgs? People like options. When you spend decent dollars on a yoyo, you want as many options available to you as possible. People want a grinding surface to be able to do grinds, as well as it often fees better in the hand than a smooth/mirror finished yoyo. I prefer grindable surfaces even though I can’t grind YET. I can’t do IRG’s either, but I want the option. Things like stacks are more secondary. People will seek out yoyos with this feature. But, IRG’s, a lot of people want that and expect it these days. The more features you can offer, the more marketable the yoyo will be unless you’re just making them for yourself or a select small group. ---

Well I don’t know. I’m making ten. Keeping 2. Waiting list of 2 at this point. So o need to sell six more. Is that select enough? I wonder if 6 people would buy it… ---

So is this an IRG? Does anyone like this design, or no? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/4/3/c43dcab567ad1d69ba479eee6859c61f466e8a66.jpeg) ---
