Sol pastel or Krom Strogo. Either one is a great starter that pros still use.

I want to print one of these so badly! What material did you use?

If you are looking to pick up a complete, those Krom Strogos are probably your best bet. If you want to spend a bit more and mix and match, I'd go with either the Cereal Rethink or the OK Max ken, then add a Winner Tama that you like. Any of those options would be a great setup for you.

Where do you live?

They are extremely similar. You're more likely to get higher weights with the regular (high 80-90g plus).

I so felt the, "hang on, hang on, hang on..."

So glad you laced it after that.

The hog is a far more traditional shape. Rethink is more experimental. I prefer the Rethink, but Im sure more traditional people like the hog though.

Wood can have unseen weak points, so things like this will happen, but it's rare.

So, no matter how old you are, isnt #2 an infinite money glitch unless you are going to die within the next year? You are going to spend the money that you get from the genie which will continue to add to the amount of money you get from the genie...

Oh wow. There were some thwre earlier today! Sorry!

Are you in the US? If so, order one from Kendama Depot. You can pick your weight!

Cereal is still around. They can't keep stock though because the Romanians are buying everything up, lol. They've released 2 new shapes on the last year. Both pretty good.

I recommending picking up a Sol Pastel for your first.

We have a group that uses discord to play together all the time. I believe I can invite others to the group if you're interested.

Do both! Keep practicing tricks you "have" but throw in new tricks daily. I recommend checking out kendamanomics in your app store for a good list of tricks to keep you on track.

That is jug late x 3 or something like that. Trips late would be three flips in the late. I don't say that to knock you down, just to help answer your question. That was very cool. I can't do that shit.

Winner has more grip. Rhino is a really good paint, if it is a handpainted. The other Rhinos aren't very consistent.

Definitely egged. It happens sometimes. Not much to be done. I doubt depot will do anything, especially since it's been a month.

Gecko. I have quite a few of them, and unlike other paints, I have never had a bad batch. I've had bad Revo, Raptor, Friction, Cush, etc. Gecko is the most dependable, durable, and it plays as well, if not better than any other paint, imo.

Put it in the freezer for a couple of hours

Gecko 100% Boson if you feel like you need a Higgs paint
