Titanium Krown raw or blasted?

Hello,
Happy new year to all of you.
The Ti crown in raw finish looks amazing. But can this yoyo do grind tricks? I supose the blasted finish version is better for this purpose, but the shinny one looks so much better…
In your opinion, what are the strong and weak points of this yoyo in raw finish?

Regards.

Im guessing the grinds suck for the polished one unless you have super dry hands.
The polished one will also show scratches easier🤷🏽‍♂️

I agree with your reflections and I too would go to the satin finish, the problem of scratches, however, I think it will still affect both, but on the satin they will be more masked, as you rightly said, this is because unlike aluminum where the blasting is then fixed with anodizing and therefore the finish becomes very hard aluminum oxide, no subsequent oxidative treatment takes place on the titanium (and in any case the titanium oxide is not harder than the metal itself), therefore the same impact force that was used to a glass microsphere to satin, will be sufficient for a grain of dust (perhaps of silicon, very hard) to create a scratch … proof already done, the broken cup is satinat, as you can see
