Sweets is dropping a reasonably priced Boost shaped kendama with balance bevel hole in ken.. beech wood. New updated radar scope tama, sticky clear paint, 6 finger string. $20
Just saw these this AM. Looks like KUSA is updating their entry level kendama too like Sweets did with their radars. shift series ken. Beech wood. Sticky paint. Long string. I’m not a fan of half splits myself, but for $20 I may just pick one up..! I scooped 6 of the new radars yesterday(missed on getting a purple one tho, so this may have to suffice)
I'm glad that KUSA's finally selling their entry-level Shifts at a competitive price point! As much as I love KUSA kendamas, 30 dollars is a bit much for the cheapest Shift (assuming no discounts), especially when I can get an entry-level Prime for half that price. $20 USD is just right for me.
UNANNOUNCED DROP ALERT Sweetskendamas.com has Legend mods up right now in sticky and cushion, whaaaa!!? Let’s go!
Yea they dropped a few days ago and possibly over the wkend if I remember correctly. It’s been a weird week for me lol. Surprised they haven’t sold out already. Sol restocked their promods too except for KD’s hopefully that means he’s getting a V2 update soon!?
New Bray mod V3 dropped yesterday. KUSA lists them as Silk paint like the last few Bray mods but the look looks like a sticky gloss from pics and vids.. also JW exec mods and Stodd mods just restocked. New James Wetherell(?) V2 pro-mods dropped on Pineapple’s site.. *Edit- the Bray mod V3 is listed as super stick paint in top part of product description and then listed as silk a little farther down. But as stated above it looks to be sticky paint.. although it lacks the “flash bulb reflections” u can see on pics of all their other damas that have sticky paint..
Tomorrow(Friday) Sweets is dropping Matt’s new Legend Mod(joining the likes of C.Fraser & A.Ruisch). Has a cherry Tama just like Ruisch’s and will be available in sticky clear or cushion.. I am assuming this will help clear way for new Pro members on the team with Matt now a Legends member and possibly some new V2 promods. Norx responded to a YT comment I made about him needing a new mod saying something like “maybe soonish” I think his would be a V3 by now though and would guess he may become a “Legend” soon as well since he’s been on the team now as one of the longest “pros” him and I think Willy p is still a pro on their team?
It isn't a kendama persay... but the new midsize Terra Pills released today! There are a few different models, including some sticky painted options. Super playable! https://www.terrakendama.com/collections/terra-pill
Lotus Blooms are dropping Friday at 6pm EST. Lotus has a very unique shape but still is competition ready. Blooms comes in three colors. Also, -sticky paint -all beech wood -10 finger string -metal bearing -extra string pack -Lotus sticker -Lotus cloth bag
@isaacturner Thanks for the heads-up. We have a running thread for drops so your info has been merged here.
Copping All 3 as gifts for co-workers and another Blue for myself as I’ve never played a lotus before but hear they’ve got a neat shape
..Also Sweets has updated their Target Damas. They’re no longer a DotBurst colorway but now a Marble colorway in 2 different patterns/designs that I saw. Sweets hadn’t dropped much info on them from what I saw the other day on their IG, but others were already finding them in stores across the US and posting what they looked like.. Still Prime shape not Boost and Rubber paint unlike their normal Sticky or Cush as offered on their “premium” Damas
Here's another photo I ran across for the Sweets/Target models. Wonder what they're going to call them since the last ones had their own name "DotBurst."
