Nice, how do you like the GT-E1? They look so good I almost picked one up, but I have too many kendamas already lol.
Its fantastic. My kendama collection is pretty modest so it was easier to justify.
RWB match weight in the classic Ozora shape. I believe irrc this was an experiment and tribute by RWB. Having just unboxed my ken’s and yo’s recently this lightweight setup was a pleasant surprise to jam.
the only kendama i have is the catchy air but when I go to nationals I’m going to get a wooden one but I don’t know which one to get yet I want a budget one so if you have any ideas please let me know (I would like a sweets kendama so maybe the sweets prime let me know if its any good)
@Legit_yoyostrings A sweets prime would be perfect for a beginner. I would recommend checking if your local target has sweets in stock. The sweets kendamas in target are currently the best priced kendama on the market rn and they slay super hard.
thanks for telling me that hopefully i can pick one up today
We have some kendamas on sale at the moment as well. Sweets Focus stained version is a pretty good deal for only $13.

I recently got into Kendama and have been throwing all of these lately:
Grain Theory, Craft, Kendama USA, Krom, Sweets, from left to right. The Krom is probably my favorite atm, but they are all nice.
Purpleheart Hawk for slowmo heavy play, sweets decade mod for lunars, krom skellington for juggles
I love how intricate these ball and cups can get, feel like I just scratched the surface.
Mid pill. Perfect size. Waited way too long to pick one up
Edit: @YoYoExpertGarrett I changed your title from “throwing” to “seshing” so the kendama kids don’t make fun of us
Ive had my eyes on a pill for a bit now. They look so dang nifty
They are super fun. I have always liked them but this mid size pill is just more forgiving than the OG
Just got into kendama, picked up a sweets prime 5 stripe off of Amazon. Think I might go with a boost kendama next time.
Most newer shapes out there are all what Sweets calls “boost” style, or something similar. Larger cups than the Prime.
Yah, my sister got a boost radar that’s coming soon, so I’m gonna try that and if I like it more I’ll definitely consider upgrading.
