So I got this silly thing after waiting months for a pre order to the point I forgot about it. Kind of neat but way harder than I thought it would be

Wow, so tiny.
I got a kendama for Christmas. It’s a lot of fun, but I was lamenting that it’s not really possible to carry it around like a yoyo. This fixes that, but how transferable are the skills?

Not much outside of the ability to cup 
kendama is really fun, but takes a lot of consistent practice - like yoyoing! the basics can be learned following tutorials, but i feel it’s a bit steeper learning curve than the yoyo….maybe because yoyoing has more gradual trick ladders. i’m just speculating though, and my experience. i will say my wife got better than me faster, and is definitely more consistent.

I highly recommend going through the trick tutorials by skill at sweets kendama youtube for learning!!

Oh man I really wanted one of these when I saw them. I’m imagining mixing Kendama and begleri with it. Ended up grabbing one of these mini Kroms.

I have no Kendama experience but now I want a miniature kendama
I wonder how a mini kendama would play if the ken was made of metal… 
Then again, the tama would probably need to be made of metal too to keep it balanced…

I’m so bad at mini kendama I have a few not a metal one “yet” but I enjoy trying and I’ll eventually get better. I like small silly skill toys.
