GRIND MACHINE is the first ‘Metal Age’ plastic yo-yo. This bold full sized polycarbonate creation features everything you would expect from a metal yo-yo in the body of a plastic yo-yo. It comes stock with a all new spec custom YoYoFactory monogrammed bearing (also sold seperately @ yoyonation soon), grinding finish, thumb grind lip and if you choose, HUBSTACKS. Customizable rubber weight rings allow a range of weight settings between 59and 67.5gm.

Initially available in 3 colors hubstacked and 1 color non-hubstacked.

What to expect:
It is a plastic yo-yo! In the interests of better balance each half has 3 injection points. These are not flaws but part of the secret to its performance! Smoothness ranges a little from dead glass to the slightest vibration noticeable to only the most discerning. Comparable to most metal yo-yos available today. The finish on the hubstacked version is a little more grind friendly. It also has a touch wider gap. Weight rings do not require precision installation, however a popsicle stick may be handy if you want to insert them flush or remove them. Stock pads are currently Kentaro pads but a new silicone pad is in development for this yo-yo (and other coming YoYoFactory products and to be sold seperately @ YoYoNation).
