ways to improve grind on plain hand

is there a polish or something i could use for my code 2?

polish will make you’re grinding worse. I don’t know how to make it better, just don’t polish.

would chalk/baby powder help grinds?

rubbing you hands in baby powder helps, i believe.

Wear a billiard glove or have it beadblasted.

couldn’t you satin it to improve grinding? You might be able to do that yourself without having to send it away.

Not on a metal yoyo. That will kill its resale value and add no grinding ability.

Polish makes it really hard to grind if you want a long grinder get a 2012 severe.

Apples and oranges are impossible to compare therefore cats are evil.

Tilt your hand downward a little bit to help control it.0

Practice a ton. Grinding is still something that takes practice its not just the blast or finish. I average anywhere from 5-6 seconds on any metal yoyo (finger grind). You should see my throwhand index finger. Its really worn down from string rubs giving a nice coarse’esque type feel and yoyos love it! And on homemade sanding that works fine. I grind my plastic chaser and get 4-5 seconds on that.

People satin metal yoyos quite frequently to improve the grindability, but yes, it does radically alter the finish, which will affect the resale value.

Some even come that way…
