A lot of cues feels like an understatement to me! XD I mean: autum + bl kamo engrave ken + lol clear - autum logo = kamo. hahaha Don't get me wrong though, i really like this newnew and it's so tempting to cop!
Well, so JAC recently anounced the drop of the new W-Line Basics. Which is a new series that consists in jac's traditional shape in 6 different woods (kens) and 3 different woods for the tamas. The woods are beech (beech tama), ash (ash tama), maple (maple tama), walnut (maple tama), keyaki (ash tama) and purple heart (maple tama). I've never played this shape but it looks a lot like the mugen musou shape, with a chubby sword and sharp edges. All jacs seem to be really great quality kendamas and are made in the jac factory in japan, supervised by their team.
These things look super icy! I saw the price points for the new series on the JAC instagram (Prices in Yen): Beech Complete: 6400+Tax Ash Complete: 7000+Tax Maple Complete: 7000+Tax Walnut/Maple: 8000+Tax Keyaki/Ash: 8000+Tax Purpleheart/Maple: 8000+Tax They cost a pretty penny, but I'd like to think you get what you pay for with a JAC.
Do you have a JAC to know how worth it they are? They look cool, but I have never tried one, let alone own one.
My local shop has some, but again, they cost a pretty penny. Don't have the money to own one. However, their marketing is similar to GT. Small batches, premium priced damas, and promoting their product as a having a raw natty feel. If anything, I expect a level of quality similar to GT, or at least the Sweets Homegrowns, with all that hype.
Not really a drop, but Nobu-san, JAC Kendama, and Mizuno Corp. are collabing to make kendamas out of B-grade Maple and Ash Baseball bats!
That is tight. If they are within my price range I will def. Snag. I played quite a bit of baseball in my years and used mizuno's products. I support this idea.
geez, aspen was my first choice and that was already sold out within about a minute -__- Then i managed to get a blue spruce in my cart, but by the time i was checking out, it was out of stock! so I got an evergreen haha Any DS-ers snagged something from the RWB drop? edit: all are sold out now! o_o
