    So.... I saw this picture from masako_damaart on Instagram...

    ...and I got inspired! This could be the next GT wormhole! I threw an old Ken on the drill press and drilled straight down the spike so that now my string comes out the tip.

    I didn't stop there. I also strung the tama backwards so the bead sits on the outside and the string runs out the bevel.

    With this new age setup I am able to do some different (and kinda lame) tricks.

    I haven't really played around with it too much because I mostly think it is stupid, but if you guys can think of any cool tricks for this setup put em below!

    BTW if this is the future of kendama then I'm switching to fidget spinners!

    Ha, nice! Did you drill a hole in the side of the spike as well, so you had a place to tie a knot and secure it?

    I actually drilled all the way down to the original hole and tied the knot there.

    Soooo, no one has pointed out the slightly oblique pun here . . . it kind of looks like a candle 'wick' mod from @TheWickEffect. :p
