Play damas with a bead and the string twists and tangles everytime. The costs are expensive if you have to buy bearings everyday. Would you rather: -Learn to play stringless, or -Learn to play left handed?
Hand every lunar because that's more discrete and I do them less often than lighthouse. Would you rather play with 0 finger string length or 15 finger string length?
0 finger could be good for yanks, but 15 fingers are good for juggles, so 15 finger string length. WYR play kendama w/o the sarado or play kendama w/o the sword?
Lol, I've acually thought about this, and I'm going with w/o a sarado. Love my lighthouses and spoik tricks. WYR: go against bonz in open or fish in freestyle?
Bonz! It would be an honor to get royally wrecked by the best kendama player in the world. Would you rather: -See Keith Matsumura back in the game, or -Wake up to find that GTs are now priced at $50 and don't sell out 2 minutes after they drop?
Matsumura > GT eaaaaasy WYR : - Go stringless for two months? - or go two finger length string for two months?
Two finger string FTW. I can't juggle to save my life and I hate crawling under the couch to get my tama all the time. Would you rather: - Be known as The Machine because though you don't do the absolute craziest tricks you're consistency is nearly 100% on any of the ones you do. - Be known as The Wizard because you come up with off the wall tricks and can hit the most difficult but only after a bunch of tries; seldom consistent.
Machine, even though I'm not creative, you can still be inspired! Only play Krom XXXL or a Mini (not a nano, slightly bigger
A mini because they don't screw up as much as a xxxxl would. Would you rather never play kendama Or play kendama knowing that one day you have to land a spike to save your grandmas life, and you got one chance
Play kendama knowing that one day you have to land a spike to save your grandmas life, and you got one chance. I like my chances. Would you rather: -be tasked with the job of making Kaleb Kendama a legit company, or -Go to Japan for KWC only to arrive a few days late?
Hand make them. I’ve always wanted to turn a dama on a lathe so yea. Would you rather use only a rolling pin for the rest of your life or only a pill
probably pill because of the string flow. WYR "BL customs" (like beams, kamo, and noia), or prime customs?
Prime Customs because it's he only way you can get new in house paints from sweets WYR: Host a jam session with Norx or Coop?
gotta be Coop. He'd probably create some crazy new trick concept during the sesh. WYR: kusa silk or krom rubber
I live in Cali, and its super dope, but Minnesota is also chill. I always wanted to go to MKO. (I know this is already answered, but more California players should come out to these jams!) WYR Be a Grain Theory pro (Design ken shape, basic burns, woods to use) <non painted> OR Be KendamaUSA pro (Design tama design, woods, engravings) <painted>
GT Pro for sure. They get to design their shapes from the ground up. Also, losing paint isn't that bad, given that GT pros get Raw Ash on their pro mods (which is just as tacky as any silk paint, but has a superior feel). Bringing back the question I asked above, would you rather: -be tasked with the job of making Kaleb Kendama a legit company, or -travel to Japan for KWC only to arrive a few days late?
I would honestly be fine with either. Making kaleb a legit company would be easy once I find a manufacturer, the make some original ken shapes. Going to KWC late would be a bummer, but the crowds there are amazing, and there is always next year. I really wouldn't want either to be my task, but if I was forced for this to happen, I would not care about either one, because I know I can adapt to any condition. WYR: Never travel for kendama because the scene near you is amazing or Travel to every big event, but you are the only ken player in the region.
I'd rather never travel because the scene near me is amazing. We would be able to jam every day, progress together, and host our own events. Traveling to every big event, although a great experience, would be expensive and I would only see everyone 3 to 5 times a year. Would you rather lace the banger of the year or invent the new trendy trick (like gypsy flip)?
