    Just go to the page of the slim that you want and put in your email and say notify me. That will let you know as soon as they drop.

    What kind of ash tama? I've been debating on what I'd like to mix with one and I was thinking either the typical slaydawg or a GT raw tama from a BH mod.

    @Nick Lectura swears by the magic that is raw ash tamas.

    this is true. best natty tama I've ever played

    if you're going to go with those choices, I would recommend copping a maple slim plus, those tamas will go well with that size ken. they won't play bad with a regular maple slim, but the tama will seem just a tad too big

    Yeah I would definitely put those on a plus. I didn't realize I didn't specify I was talking about a plus! If I got a regular I would just get a GT raw ash to stick on it though!

    just wondering if anyone knew when the crafts come back in stock? If there is already a thread about this sort of stuff could you link it below as I couldn't find one.

    Ughhhh. I really want another craft. I have an ash slim, and maple slim PLUS, and they both slay so hard. The slim ken shape is such an all around jammer.

    Has anyone heard anything about craft? Have there always long time periods between drops? I hadn't payed attention enough to it to know until now.

    Crafts are a pretty new(ish) thing KUSA dropped over a year ago (think it was fall 2016).
    Unlike the base line Kaizen 2.0 runs that are produced overseas, RWB makes them in their shop here in the US, the same people who supply GT with all of their kendamas aside from the new GT-E1s.
    RWB also has their own line of kendamas with a recent drop earlier this week (highly suggest checking them out).
    Between all of that and how small a group and somewhat shorthanded they are at RWB (it’s not a big company), it’s a bit difficult to meet demands at a fast pace. Especially with Jake taking a more direct involvement with GT now, we’ll probably see a few new mods/shapes in the future.
    As for Crafts, it’s probably just a timing issue. When RWB has the chance and time to fulfill an order for them. And they will, Crafts are still very popular and always sell out quick.
