Do you know if the spectra kendamas are resistent? I'm thinking to buy a Sweets Homegrown Spectraply Mistery but i don't know if it is worth,i heard that it chips easily can someone give me some tips so i can know if it is worth buying one? I don't yank or i don't smash my kendama on the ground i rarely drop my kendama , I've always been really careful with my kendama.
If you don't play roughly with them, they should be just fine. Of course, if you drop it at a weird angle or the tama hits the cups weird or something there is always a chance something will chip. And, on the grand scale, spectrum damas are more fragile than regular wood inherently because its a bunch of individual pieces of wood that have been glued together. The chances of specs. Chipping are higher than normal beech or hardwoods, but doesn't mean that they are weak. So I've had a couple specs. And they haven't chipped yet and play mine prolly 5/10 on the roughness scale. That being said, I have a fresh fuschia spec. Hg with a fresh blue tama up for sale. I got it as a mystery like you're wanting but I'll sell it to you for less than I bought it for. Pm me if you want some details and pics.
IIRC one of the decisions that lead to the discontinuation of the Sweets Spectra series is that it chips pretty easily. Specs are such an eye pleaser, and performs generally pretty well, and i honestly don’t care if it chips or not.
Specs are actually really durable when you get hand oils or kenditioner into them. They also are honed for stalls and stuff because of the layered wood.
I cant vouch for sweets, but GT specs are a LOT tougher to break than most people think. If you really want one, stay away from heaty throw tricks around hard ground and it should be absolutely fine.
Post a poll. That should do a better job than to just ask. I mean, even after you vote, you could still give advice. Never played spectraply before, but if you want a kendama that will look amazing and WAY more vibrant than any other dama, cop one, and you might get something nice out of it! While you're at it, try to cop some Kenditioner to make the wood softer and a bit more chip-resistant.
