Thumb 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 sleeper.
- Pop it up.
- Stick your thumb into the inside lip of the yoyo.
- Let it spin around your thumb.
- Toss or guide it back to the string.
Tips
You need a yoyo with a thumb-grind ring inside.
The physics
The inside of the yoyo touches your thumb in a small spot. Less rubbing = longer grind.
