Any pill lovers here? i got a normal beech terra pill and was thinking about a cherry wood one. What are the benefits from cherry wood?
Get a Jumbo, so much fun. Cherry wood is...heavier?? I have no idea. Looks cool, sounds different, probably breaks in differently? Those are my guesses. I'm sure @htimSxelA could tell you.
I actually bought the pill at the same time i bought my first kendama. TBH i was way into the pill for a while before getting into the dama. Still pick it up and jam it from time to time I guess i have an older one and they are different now in some way? That's just what I've been told.
I have 3 Pills and 1 Jumbo Pill. The Jumbo is so fun with stalls, and the regular-sized Pill is so fun with string tricks and juggles. A lot of people like the cherry wood and purpleheart regular-sized pills because they're heavy and easier to control. I love both jumbo and standard.
yup! I have a jumbo, cherry and regular pill. honestly, playing around with pills is how i learned basic string tricks when i was just starting. the cherry pill is definitely heavier (but not super heavy) than the regular one i have. in addition to easier to control, i find stalls are wayyy easier on cherry/heavier pills and the crisp clack sound it makes when you spike is just oh-so satisfying
Pills are awesome in my opinion. I definitely think having at least one in your collection can help you get better at kendama. Using them as cross training tools. Sometimes when I'm chasing a trick and I'm having trouble,I'll switch over to the pill to get a different perspective. Super fun! I have 4 reg pills and a jumbo!
I have three (maybe four) regular sized ones and a jumbo. These aren't Terra though. They are hand turned. I like the jumbo pill a lot and play it more often than the standard. I agree with Chelsea, jumbo stalls are so fun
I have a pill, and it's great and all, but when I have people over and the kendama feels too daunting, I let them try the pill first. For me, I don't really use it. It's still super rad, but you just can't pull me away from my damas for too long, haha.
I got a purple pill a while back, they are soooo fun to play with thank you alex smith for coming up with the idea YOUR BRILLIANT!!
Follow @guccipilllafleur on instagram. Crazy stuff that I would never think of. Example: https://www.instagram.com/p/BKw6DzNhk9x/?taken-by=guccipilllafleur
Thats a good question... they're pretty heavy. I want to say around 350 grams total? I can weight one out to find out a more exact number for you. They're truly JUMBO!
Straight up, thats a good question! I've been hyped on some Pill stuff lately, I'm gonna try to work on some new stuff.
@Angelo Saček nice! Cool to see you turned your own. What diameter hole are you drilling in the top half? 1/2"?
I ended up getting a couple of free jumbo pills (due to a KendamaUSA mistake, so awesome they let me keep them) and just made a video. At the end I was doing some pill tricks and it was so fun! I hadn't done any pill stuff in awhile, and somehow my increased kendama ability must have translated over because I could do a bunch of pill tricks that I could never do before. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and I was thinking about that video you made because I've always liked it, wished there was another! I would be totally stoked to see some new stuff.
