Grind
Single-handed string tricks. One yoyo, usually one that does NOT come back on a tug. You land it on strings and move it through different shapes. This is the biggest modern style.
How to do it
- Throw a strong sleeper.
- Pop the yoyo up a little.
- Place it on your finger, hand, arm, or thumb while it's spinning.
- Hold the surface still.
- Let it grind for a sec.
- Pop it back onto the string.
Tips
Yoyos with a rough or sandy finish grind better than shiny ones. Don't have sweaty hands.
The physics
The yoyo's outside spins against your skin. As long as your skin doesn't grab too hard, it can keep spinning.
