    I haven't tried a slaydawg, but they seem way hype! I need to get my hands on one soon. I haven't tried a Terra LBB either, but I like the bigger ken idea and I definitely need to try em out!

    The sol shape is miraculous. My favorite shape atm.
    I also like the REZ shape, prime, OG HG, KA, and the pop.

    The new REZ shape is sick, and GTKA is honed. Also cant go wrong with Pops and Slaydawgs.

    Sol shape is like a Slaydawg 2.0. Great for slingers and is super stable for Lunars. Giant basecup makes for great instas and multi turn lighthouses. Hooooooned but more like Tarzan, HoOoOoOooooooned

    I like playing the Sweets F2 and F3, KUSA Classic, OG HG, Ronin, GT-1, Ozora, and BLK Tuned shapes. All of them are unique in their own way and play very nicely in my experience. with playing them. I like Slaydawgs as well, but they're a bit too beefy for me.

    Sweets maple prime ken is all around honed for both slingers and lunars. It slaps stalls too but you have to break it in like any other dama. The slaydawg is also great, especially if you have bigger hands and/or love lunars (the lunar balance on mine is unbelievable)

    My favorite shapes were the Slaydawg BDAY ones and the GT-KA for along time but I have to admit that since I get De Soto mod, I didn't touch either of those two. The Sol shape is juts perfect to me, the lunar balance is insane and I like the cup sizes , especially the base cup.

    I need to get my hands on a Slaydawg! I've never tried one, not even for a second! Shame on me!

    Kendama has changed so much even within the year from the previous post in this thread.
    Currently I have to go with the Sol Shape, Craft Shift, and most especially the old REZ shape.

    Right now, I'm digging the KROM BL and Prime shapes, though I'm not saying that they're the best shapes by far. I'd like to see how the KUSA Shift and the new KUSA Slim stack up against them.

    I really like the old REZ shape, but the last ones they put out are so on point. One of my favorites for sure.

    The Prime and Next Gen shapes are probably my two favorite right now. The Prime just has amazing stall points.

    probably the 1% shape from krom. It‘s a little beefier than the BL but not too beefy like the slaydawg 1.0. Almost like a Kaizen 2.0 imo
