My biggest problem with it? I suck at it ^\_^. I’ve thought it was cool since Tales of Symphonia (weapon of Genis), but it has a steep learning curve. Satisfying as hell. ---

I’ve been looking at getting into it. I’m not sure if they’re the same type of thing but I love the look of those pill kendama. Hoping the wife gets me one for Christmas 🤞 ---

Kendamas are a lot of fun. Honestly, I always feel like my biggest issue is that the kendama community is 100% on Instagram or similar networks. There’s little opportunity for a supportive place\* like yoyoexpert for beginners. \*I admit tha tI haven’t looked for a kendama forum recently. So I may be wrong. ---

I’ve found that there are A LOT of kendama meet-ups - much more than I’ve seen with yoyoing. They are a pretty integral part of the community. This is where I’ve experience the most support and learning. Albeit, I do agree that IG is the main sharing space for the community as a whole, and it doesn’t lend itself to discussion. I’m not sure how active it is, but Downspike might be a good forum to take a look into. ---

My problem is consistency. It is a less consistent skill toy than a yo-yo. Meaning achieving 100% success with tricks is way harder if possible than with a yo-yo. It becomes frustrating for me coming from yo-yos. I still love it and that inconsistency makes it more rewarding at times. ---

Yeah, but you’re a skill toy expert ^\_^.
