    inspired by the player one, name 2 damas, any brand, shape, or specific kendama, and keep it going. Can be as broad as naming slaydawg or as specific as red krom pop. First up:
    Sweets prime custom v7 Prince or krom slaydawg nihon ash?

    Gt although skateply is a close second. How about a Duncan komodo or kusa tribute without super stick paint.

    They are both honed.
    but tbh, they are just the same thing, just different paint jobs.

    I’ve only played the Prime pro mods, but think i’ll go with cushion (prefer that paint over the prime coat tbh)

    - REZ/RWB wood ken (maple or ash) x KenCo white Zen stripe tama tama (any color)
    - REZ canvas stripe (any color) ken x matching color KenCo raw Zen stripe tama

    Probably the REZ x raw stripe because I kinda want to get more into natties.

    Kendamas with the "swoop" or kendamas with the base cup hole?

    Swoop, cuz I dig that Clutch trick (where it spins balancing the ken bottom cup on your finger)

    As much as I dislike rubber/silk, I gotta give it to KUSA. They know how to make their pro mods really well from the engravings to the color scheme on the tama. I kinda want to try and give silk another chance whenever I can. Surprisingly, I actually liked the Kaizen 1.0 shape and still do.

    Beech JKA 40th Anniversary TK-16s or classic birch TK-16s?

    OG tk 16 birch... never get wrong with that.

    Now
    The Kamo (in pop shape, lol clear)/autumn camo (the rubber one) OR the 430's (either the slaydawg ones or the exclusive to japan trip stripe that people barely know about....)

    IIRC the 40ths were beech ken + birch tama with a different paint than the normal TK16.


    This one was missed so I'll take a stab at it. . . Catchy Air all the way, great balance and more resilient vs the "Fuzzy" (called Soft Catch by the Shinfuji maker).



    No question from me so you can follow on with @Chris Song 's post from above.

    Probably the 430 dawg. The POP spike seems so thin that I would probably break it on the first day.
    I kinda asked this question already, but definitely the cush pro mods because F3s will always have that one place in my heart, and the cushion paint was just amazing for every trick.

    Sweets 2015 KWC Bobber HG with pro clear or KUSA Tribute Red/White Half-Split with silk?
