the kendama is interesting but I don’t have one because I only want to focus on yoyos that is also why I don’t get a spin top.If you are interested in them you can get a clyw kendama from yoyoexpert for$30 or you can get a mini kendama for$40 but remember once you pick one up it is hard to stop
No. I absolutely disagree. This product breaks easily and is not durable. Only reason mine hasn’t broken is because I stopped playing it. I’ve seen 10 others broken right under the cross-section and simply won’t glue back together. I may try epoxy resin on one this weekend on a broken one i have laying around if I kept it. I do think I trashed it.
If you’re not sure, get a low-cost Kendama USA model or even the Yomega Pro Kendama(it’s wood). Duncan has a Kendama.
Yhea, I only recommended that because I saw the price tag for a beginner model, but i havent played one. I have a Kendama USA model (one of the cheaper ones) and that thing has taken some serious abuse
The one I’m gonna try to repair(unless I threw it away) was played with for less than 10 minutes before breaking, and it was via very light-duty play.
Granted, my kids have a reputation for destroying things, but there was no destruction attempts involved.
I’d say any sub-$20 Kendama is a great starter. That’s roughly the same price point I use for newbies and yoyos. My 3 girls all have kendamas, but none play with them. My boy, the one who yoyos, has a few kendamas. The Tribute Classic is an ideal starter.
Branching out makes your yoyoing more unique. I do almost everything from juggling, to spintops, to kendama, and it makes a great improvement on my yoyoing. In fact, I usually do a different skill toy before my freestyles, and it helps me land all of my tricks better.
Don’t limit yourself to one thing.
