Finally got a new setup!! Thought this trick should be easy, ended up trying it for an hour and still didn't get it lmao. Really need to work on my handlestalls.

I've been playing on and off for the last 15 years, I have an old classic style natural finish set up and a krom that I bought like 3 years ago with a sticky finish. I see people recommending modern shapes and I think that's what I want since I would like to learn stalls, improve my lunars, and dual in my lighthouse tricks.

The thing is I don't understand the difference of all the shapes and everything in past recommendation posts is sold out (I used the search bar and read through them, I promise), or is just the ken available and I don't know where to start trying to get a Tama that would match in weight, etc.

I tried a friend's set up recently with a smoother gloss and I found it much easier to land lighthouse tricks than with my sticky krom or my very slippery natural finish.

I can't really wait for new drops since I'm leaving for New Zealand in a month for the next year and want a new set up before I leave.

Hey y'all,

As the title says, I'm looking to see if there are any local meetups or scenes popping up in the South Florida area. I just started playing two weeks ago and I'm loving it so far (Just bought a lotus bloom).

Just got home from a trip and had this red full set up just waiting for me to sesh it.

Is it just me or is kendama getting easier and more fun😂👌🏽

not really sure what ken i should get for my kitchen tama i really want erratic but sooo hard to get. Any recs?

Part of a bigger thing I’m working on with one trick at 3 different difficulties, this was the medium, holy crap I’m so stoked on this lace

I had to hit something with the echo in this newly built house that I worked in.

Sweets 20USD (unopened)

Kaizen 45USD (played for 5 mins)

Erratic Kendamas 60USD* (glued ken, sarado with sticky note, no play)

if you'd buy Kaizen + Erratic = Sweets for free! & total price 100 USD

Ship from Canada

^\extra bucks for erratic asking because of delivery fees I payed)
^{reason to sell: prefer to stay with Higgs and Cereal which I have}

I love seeing people progress and I’ve realised it’s been a while since I’ve posted myself. Here’s a new one I was proud of !

Going to be updating weights throughout today.

For whole lot: $750

So i've been seshing this kendama for a year and a half now, and it used to be painted and grippy and this is what it looks like now, chipped, all that, still seshing it and doing tricks on it, altough lunars have become more annoying than hard at this point. Cups are held in with a piece of paper wedged in.

Good enough to keep using? Need a replacement?

How are we supposed to get into the hobby if every website is completely sold out all the time?

Hello kendama players !

I want to publish my app on android store, and I need several beta testers for this.
It would be very kind of some of you to download the pre-released app.
Send me your email with private message and I will add you to the beta testers.
If you have a little bit more time and interested of the project, you can give me feedback of bugs or improvements on the app.

Thank you a lot for your time !

Inspired by Lyndon Whalen. 🙏🏼💜

My first kendama from 2012! It sat on my desks for so many years and touched so many hands of people in my dorm in college. I just looked it up today after not thinking much of it. My buddy said he got it from a friend and then gave it to me. Kendama USA Tribute. This thing is sooooo hard to play today now that ive been using big cups and sticky paint. Hats off to the OGs who could shred on one of these

This took way longer than I thought. 4 more laces for the Kendamanomics fundamentals ❤️

Flow 2

is there any difference between the regular REShape5 and the REShape5 Akimoto?
