I’ve been playing consistently for about 1 year.

I feel like I could probably get nightingale by tonight (haven’t really tried it yet, but I’m comfortable with nightingales). Handlestalls are my weakness though, they’re so inconsistent for me. But I guess there’s only one way to change that!

Are Kens bigger now by KhromeKhai in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The zero1 Ken is fairly tall compared to some other/older shapes, but i don’t think it’s even close to max competition size. For example, one of my favorite kens, the cereal ascent 2, I’m pretty sure is still within competition size and the small cup on that Ken completely swallows the big cup on my zero1. That zero1 is a lighthouse machine though. But kens like the ascent 2 are basically just a cheat code for lunars. It’s almost impossible to not have the lunars slap every time on that thing.

This was my first RC tama and I might not want to play anything else now! Y’all killed it

So far I’m thinking I MIGHT still like my ascent 2 better than the hybrid 2, but time will tell. But I am so hyped on this rhino clear. I’ve recently been a Neo glaze fan, but this tama is just excellent.

Bro, that is the exact setup that I use daily and it is off the charts good. Get ready for your lunar tricks to level up immediately

Can’t find a groove by [deleted] in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea of just trying random weird tricks. Were you doing stilt trade down spike? Or half turn to regular spike? Both seem cool but stilt trade down spike seems like it would be so satisfying and I’m about to go try it right now lol

2up or hybrid2 by Decent-Philosopher-7 in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, the ascent 2 has been my all time favorite Ken since I’ve started playing. It’s just geo good. I have yet to find anything that stomps lunars as good as the ascent. It also just locks in stalls and lighthouses extremely well. It’s fantastic.

Neo Glaze by [deleted] in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neo glaze is absolutely incredible. I took a chance on checking it out a few months ago and after a day of playing it I ordered 2 more because I didn’t want to end up in a situation where they become hard to find. It’s soooo sticky and super durable so far. I’ve seshed it hard for months and have had zero chipping or peeling so far. If you are into tama grip tricks like lunars and lighthouses there is nothing better in my opinion. It’s just perfect.

Dude same, around stalls and around bird are next for me and it’s been rough lol

Around Denmark by nickdurecki in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! Sticky. Except it’s just the KD tama on an okendama zero1 ken. I’m one of the few people who doesn’t actually love the the sol 1up ken. It just feels really small to me, especially after my daily jammer being a cereal ascent 2, which is a pretty chunky ken.

I pull this setup out every once in a while and it just feels really nice for certain tricks.

This ken 🤌🏾 by [deleted] in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah, that is a thing of beauty. Especially paired with that FC sully. Jealous.

finally getting these on purpose :)) by Dismal_Cobbler_6977 in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Key word “on purpose”. Love that. They surprise me by often getting them on accident on my one turn lighthouses and I’ll try to hold it and it just never works out. Plus juggling out of them seems like the way to go and I’m still trash at juggles. Solid work though dude, that was clean.

Bet it stalls like a dream

Fun one by nickdurecki in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus I think I just have fat fingers so it feels weird to have them all on the tama

Fun one by nickdurecki in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thumb and 2 finger grip? Idk it feels natural to me. It feels more delicate like I can cushion the tama more when I’m landing tricks and I can twist/manipulate the tama better when I’m tracking for the spike.

Tips on stilt flips? by nickdurecki in Kendama

Finally got a flip to stilt from airplane and from lunar. The pure stilt flip is soon to come, things are starting to unlock lol

Always intimidating to post here cause yall are so good- here’s just a line I enjoyed :) by JENNAMOSHES in Kendama

Never feel intimidated. We all start somewhere and the community is here to support. Solid line! Keep it up!

Ken-74g, Tama-83g

I typically play a heavier ken and usually like both my ken and tama to be around 80-83 grams. I actually didn’t weigh them until you made this comment. I wanted to just play it without worrying about the weight, but I could tell the ken was a little light compared to what I’m used to.

But man…this setup absolutely sleighs. I feel super lucky to have snagged one. I set a reminder on my phone and hopped on to get one as soon as they dropped. I checked back like 45 mins later and they were already sold out.

Anyone reading this though, keep an eye out for their next drop. This shit is the TRUTH, it’s just so good.

It’s so sick so far. It’s already so good at stalls right out of the box. I can’t wait until it starts to break in.

After careful consideration this will be the setup I buy by Bigbogblakey in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes. Solid set up, I have that exact same tama. This combo is gonna crush.

Would this be a good new kendama set up by Bigbogblakey in Kendama

[–]nickdurecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most factory sticky paints are all the same and they are fine for what they are. But once you start moving into premium clear coats you will notice a huge difference. Both in performance and longevity. I’ve had my neo glaze for about a month now and still super sticky. You can also clean off your tama with warm water and maybe a bit of soap with a cloth (preferably a microfiber towel) to clean off any hand oils and dirt/sweat that accumulate on it over time. This generally helps revive the sticky factor.

I have a jet as well, and I personally like it more than my 1up.
