Getting a bunch of yoyos and I’m thinking about picking up a kendama to mess with. By the looks of it, the Kaizen seems pretty nice. Anyone here have experience using one?

Kaizens are great! I would recommend one of the Silk Kaizens as a first kendama because they’re a little grippier, but you won’t be disappointed with any of them.

The Pro models are essentially the same thing but with fancier designs, right? If so then I might just pick up one of those since the standard Kaizens don’t currently come in any silk colors that I like.

Yeah, the finish on the Pro Models feels pretty similar.
