I really like the pro models from Kendama USA, they are all the same the only difference is the color of the ball. That is the highest quality one Kendama USA makes, and incomparison to yoyos is pretty cheap (only $30)

Good ones can be had for anywhere from $15. You shouldn’t need to spend more than $25 to get a great one. After that, you’re shopping weights, woods and decorations. Just like with yoyos, the heavier, the slower. Heavier is good for learning, lighter is good for competition and “where you’re apparently supposed to be”.

I might get myself a lighter one. I’m happy with the KendamaUSA Tribute 3-line at $25 for now. The Yomega StarCatch is all plastic, so avoid it. The Yomega Pro has a wrong length string but you can adjust that but even so, there’s better stuff out there, even less expensive stuff.

Have fun!

I just found a Yomega Star Catch for $5 at a brick and mortar store. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. I figure it’ll give me an idea of whether ill like it enough to get a good one.
