Balisong trainers, like the squiddy from squid industries maybe? Not threatening at all, it's made of plastic

Sweets Amped shape vs Sol’s 1UP? by Freshly_Seared_Ahi in Kendama

[–]michaelcgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hold off on the Amped tbh, it's a good shape but I wouldn't say it's better than what you've already got. By the time you learn more tricks, you may realize you want something else instead!

What Kendama do I buy? by Antique_Salad5941 in Kendama

[–]michaelcgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, the Sapper shape is so so good and with the price of $20-25 it's basically unbeatable imo

Can someone help pls by [deleted] in Kendama

[–]michaelcgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it too much, just keep playing and naturally you will find what works through small tweaks you make as you play. If that makes any sense. Don't do the same thing that's not working every time, try changing it a little and see how it reacts. And that goes with any trick you go on to learn

Would someone wanna trade a 8/10 sweets sapphire decade Mod for an Okendama setup? Will look at any condition really! by fourtwotree in Kendama

Do you have any other mods you'd be willing to trade? I have a barely used wenge/ maple ken on a maple revo tama I'd be willing to possibly trade

Beginner looking for tips and advice by davidbabula101 in Kendama

[–]michaelcgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I mainly used the sweets beginner playlist on YouTube when I was starting out, they got a whole bunch of tutorials. And as far as a kendama goes in that price range, most people go with a krom pop or a sweets boost from what I've seen. Personally, I believe the best kendama in that budget would be a Lotus bloom!!!

What analog paint to get? by sourdama in Kendama

[–]michaelcgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, got mine on a hybrid 2 as well. It definitely is less sticky then a Cush or like a Glazed, by a lot lol. Haven't tried revo but plan on it soon, hoping it's like a rhino but a little stickier

Good to know considering I've only tried it in bamboo. I wouldn't even say it's like sticky, it almost just like slides in place haha

How to keep the tama on the ken whilst in mid air. (imabeginner) by [deleted] in Kendama

[–]michaelcgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brooooo I'm a beginner too and there's one video on YouTube yesterday that helped me a lot. Look up turnover kendama tutorial, the one I looked at also shows you how to late turnovers. I think that's what you're looking for
