    Slim Pros: Slings well, Lunars well, all around jammer.
    Cons: Chipps fast if not careful


    2.0 Pros: Slings well, well balanced, and nice feel.
    Cons: Not super great lunars.


    Slim plus pros: Same as the slim
    Cons: NOTHING


    2.0 plus pros: Same as 2.0
    Cons, same






    WINNER!!!
    CRAFT SLIM PLUS!

    but for standards, its a matter of preference


    but the craft slim plus is still comp approved, so get it ;)

    I have both and the only one i use is my slim. Just be a little careful with it because it's more fragile than the 2.0, but it lunars better, slings better and flips faster. All around better but just don't drop it.

    In what way the craft slim is not durable? It cheaps, breaks or what?

    I've got a craft slim in Ash. I've found it to be pretty durable. I've straight whipped it onto concrete a few times now while working on spacewalk/lightning drop stuff and was surprised to see that there was no discernable damage. In my experience it's been very durable.

    If you use it heavily, it will chip. The spike stays sharp because it has the vertical grain, but I have chippped my slim 2 or 3 times. I have glued the pieces back on, and it still slays.

    Yeah, mine chipped a lot. That is until it was in my pocket and I got shoved over and it snapped in my pocket. Rip. I got a new plus slim one though

    I have a maple slim plus and it slays so hard. Best dama I've ever had by far. Good for every trick.

    Kaizen 2.0 select sound like beasts. Or even just not a plus sized craft.

    It would, but in my opinion, the kendama serves its purpose better without a slayband

    Yeah I also agree. With slaybands it is not that much a kendama... just play the dama how it is! :)
