the shape does matter, as does spin time, donā€™t let me tell you otherwise. But a very important factor is a smooth finish and low body contact. The less that touches your body, the less friction is created, and the finish also does a large part to reduce it. Thatā€™s why a raw yoyo doesnā€™t do grinds as well. A prime example would be, IMO, a G5 or a Grind Machine 2. A very severe H Shape, very angular, and a phenomenal anno.

Or just whatever. I use my responsive Spinfaktor HG to grind all the time.

For learning grinds, yes, something very smooth and unresponsive will make it easier, but once you have grinding down, bust out a plastic.

Duncan Imperials are GREAT for thumb grinding. j/k.

Any yoyo with a IRG is good at thumb grinding, however, almost any yoyo can thumb grind.

About arm grinding, the less of the yoyo that hits your body, the less friction, the longer the yoyo spins on your arm.

BOSS is really good. I donā€™t know if itā€™s the best but it sure is AMAZING. The Grind Machine 2 would probably be the best since it is the grind machine.

Hatrick all the way, so smooth on the arm on arm grinds, and doesnā€™t lose any power after any grind. Itā€™s also perfect for thumb grinds because of the lip.

There is no best. There is no #1. I could say the Wedgie is the best and the Boss sucks. Many people would agree, many would disagree. I could say theā€¦whatā€™s any other yoyo out thereā€¦the Diversion is the best but theā€¦ummā€¦ Chaotic sucks. Again, many would agree, many would disagree. Any yoyo you find will be able to grind well. 'Nuff said.

well, set by aspects of other yoyos grind duration, even though they are able to grind amply well, so yoyos are not as good at it. It redefines the term ā€œwellā€ in relativity of other yoyos, and some are simply better at it. I was struggling to find the right words for it, #1 wasnā€™t it. I was talking about optimum conditions for it, not stating that other yoyos could not.

Ive tried all of the yyf fundemetals (cause their cheap) and my fave is dv888. its got a giant inside rim, a nice smooth finish and a long, stable spin.

LOL Grind Machine! :smiley: ;D

i found that if the finish is good, more contact is better. have you tried a palm grind with a meteor vs a hatrick? meteor will spin better, but the hatrick has more ballance and stability and in the end it is better. plus of course the epic blast.

hatrick is my all time favorite grinder ever. out of the 3 though, boss. 888 is hard to thumbgrind.
