I am getting an upgrade from a yomega pro model. I want somthing that has a bit more grip and is durable. I was looking at a sweets mate marble kendama or is that new sunrise street kendama any good. I was hoping to stay $30 and under. I am a beginner and i can land the ball back and forth between cups and can some times spike it. Thanks in advance ---

Maybe a beginner sweets kendama, or a ken from kengardin, but I would personally get more consistant t with your yomega before moving on. Hope that helps ---

I have never played an ozora. I have a sweets attack, tribute , the sunrise, a yomega pro , and a Duncan Komodo. And of course it’s preference and opinion, but the sunrise is my favorite.The ken is balanced and has a good weight to it. It’s not really heavy but my sweets ken is noticeably lighter. The tama is slippery but I have done lighthouses on it. It gets mildly tacky over use I’ve also noticed. I hope I helped. ---

I have no idea about the tackiness, but try out Sweets’ new Focus line. Pretty good colors too. ---

I just got my kendama usa pro model, and I love it. I can hit tricks a ton easier than my sweets stain and now I can actually do lighthouses so that’s pretty sweet 🙂 I’m very happy with it, and I’m pretty sure it’ll take anyone far in kendama ---
