Yoyo Finger Grind
YoyoTrick tutorial
Finger Grind is the basic yoyo grind. Throw a strong Sleeper and let the spinning yoyo grind on top of your finger.
The trick in steps
- Pop up into the grind
Start with a Trapeze. Slide the yoyo along the string, then pop it up to grind on your throw hand index finger.
- Return to Trapeze and bind
After a few seconds, pop the yoyo back onto a Trapeze, then bind to get it back to your hand.
Tips
- Wash and dry your hand
- The stronger the spin, the longer the grind
- Tilt your finger slightly down so the yoyo stays in one spot
- Land in Trapeze after the grind
Common mistakes
- Keeping the string tight with your non-throw hand, so the yoyo never grinds on your finger with its full weight
- Bouncing the yoyo back to Trapeze as soon as it touches your finger
