    I have two maple HG cushion cleared tamas and they definitely have their grip still (one super seshed and the other honing in), no slick.

    Ahh. Must be the humidity in the philippines messing with the paint, then.

    I've got 3 cushioned HG maple striped tamas. My maple Purple Heart and maple walnut(honed to the bone) are both very slick for being cushioned. But then I have a cushioned maple zebrano stripe HG that's my profile pic and it's super tacky. I really think it depends on how thick of a layer is on it.

    I bought a sweets pro mod back when they were cushion, and a pride-dama. The cushion on the former is super thick and hasnt changed very much throughout its 6 months. however the pride dama's cushion had started to peel after my first or second sesh. There definitely is a difference in each batch put out. Who knows it might just be a different person who finished that given model. I'm betting Sweets kendamas has several painters at any given time. They put out a lot of product.

    The other consideration is the pride was a collaboration with MPLS. Their paint could have dried well enough to not allow the cushion to deep into the tama: just a thought. I have seen pics of prides with just slight remnants of the rainbow and mostly white.
