I picked this little puppy from toys r us! I was there for another reason, but I saw it and thought “eh, why not”
It’s by yomega, and I know diddly squat about kendamas. So basically did I just waist $13? And is there any sort of mod I can do to it to make it a “good” Kendama? Or is it fine?
its usable but that good wood feel is amazing

I have one. The ball is SO FRIGGIN HEAVY!
Yes it is 
another thin I’m curious about is the string. It’s really short and in most videos I see its rather long. So should I replace the string? And I so with what? Or is the short string good for getting those simple catches down?
The string is actually about 3 inches to long 
Should just get an Oozora !!

It honestly wasn’t a bad choice.
It will give you a chance to see if you like kendama or not.
I still recommend the Bahama Kendama Baby Kendama for 5 more dollars.
