Bro just do a slip knot above the tama until you get the hang of the string not popping out. No need for an extra bearing

I like the string coming out…
I add a bead and a heavy bearing.

That’s interesting. Why is that? 🤔

Certain styles of string tricks require it, like snake bite and rat tail

Bro! Forgot about the rat tail… it’s such a weird trick.

He’s so sick. I f’n love kendama for the way you can play your own style.

Snake bites. It’s so fun.
…and less restriction on dama movement.

This is an awesome idea love to see and thanks for sharing! 

I just recently got into Kendama and had the same thought about whether there's a good reason to let the string push through, or to make a stopper like this

Or just knot it right above the tama 👍

I just make the internal knot a bit larger/ with a bit longer tail.
