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 ![IMG_1341](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/1/a71158599534a71e67ec39f9817e08e1d2963fc4.jpeg) ---

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? ---

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. ---

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. ![IMG_2526](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/e/3/de3fb3b007a9b2a04ae05e79d464be9d7f8624c8.jpeg) ---

I wonder how a mini kendama would play if the ken was made of metal… :thinking: Then again, the tama would probably need to be made of metal too to keep it balanced…:thinking::thinking::thinking: ---

Funny you should mention it. I do wish it was the size of the KROM one though. ![IMG_3452](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/a/7/4a786d2c5905f5dcee8ca708b3bf0eac59afb1a5.jpeg) ---

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.
