    Ok, so I just saved up $95 and I'm going to get either the gt-bh or the gt-ka. I was wondering if you guys could maybe help me out. The qualities I am looking for are: lunars, slingers, juggles and stalls.

    Both look awesome and you will be happy with either. At this point just pick whoever you like more.

    It's dotted. I think it's 8 dots.

    Does it work well? Because it seems kinda hard to see.

    I heard the dots are great because you can tell when the tama is spinning or not.

    I like it quite a lot! Very elegant design that allows for normal tracking and also you can tell rotation! Minimal for sure, but I love it.

    GT-BH is insane for lunars, and it is the best stall kendama that I have. Juggles and slingers I couldn't tell you which is better between the two.

    Alright, thank you guys so much for helping me out. I am going to get the Ben herald mod when it comes out. Speaking about that, anyone know when they drop next?

    Dots are like a stripe without having a stripe.

    As for another drop, I wouldn't say for a while. Next are the 1.5s and then I think they're dropping more GT-KAs..

    The GT-BH is very different from the GT-KA.
    Both shapes are unique and have a different feel.
    As for playability, you'll be able to do whatever tricks you want on both.
    It's really about if you'd rather have a more slim kendama (GT-KA) or a more chunky one (GT-BH).
