    Im looking to buy a new krom dama but im pretty split.

    Should I get a 430 slaydawg, 3DDON or the KROM kamo?
    I've heard good stuff about the slaydawgs and wonder how they compare to the kamo?

    Have you had either before? I think everyone Should Have a dawg in their collection. That being said, the kamo is really rad too. Don't know how it plays tho.

    The Kamo is a absolute monster, landed tricks i couldn't lace with other damas. The loon balance is absolute Fuego, and has a perfect tama to ken balance ratio!
    One of my favorites hands down!
    :cool:

    IMO, you should get the kamo because you can get a dawg anytime, but I think the kamos are limited. I may be wrong tho.

    wasn't a fan of my Dawg tbh, If i'm gonna spend that much on a dama its gonna be a hg or something different, I guess I'm just not a fan of the dawg shape.

    Slaydog shape is bigger and the paint is spot on. 3DDON has the same hone shape, with different color layout. The Kamo does play nice, but I would reccomend the 3DDON for the shape and the sick design on the top

    There is a new Slaydawg that got recently released, the Krom x Terra Slaydawg, a.k.a the DOTD slaydawg commemorating dama on the drive. It looks pretty sick too.

    Kamo! Personally, I like slimmer shapes, and slimmer shapes seem to be the wave of the future in the Lunar vs. Slinger dichotomy. I I can lunar but can't sling on a Dawg, while I can do both on a POP (which is the ken shape used for the Kamo).

    Kamo and Slaydawg are very good damas. If you want something chunkier and bigger, get a Slaydawg. If you want something slim and more like next gen, pick a kamo

    Nope; the Kamo is closer to a POP shape. The only difference is the balance hole in the base cup. The cup sizes are similar, but not the overall shape.

    Slaydawg is definitely bigger/chunkier than the BL shape. I'd recommend the kamo or a beams personally

    definitely not the same lol, just got my kamo in the mail and you can tell just by looking at it , now i understand that saying the slaydawg is the same shape as a bl is noob as hell
