    I got a beeswax hickory GT tama and it’s 100 grams! Anyone have anything close? My heaviest ken is a 76g ash RWB

    FWIW the 100g+ standard sized kens I've seen or heard about were Brazilian Cherry, Purpleheart, or composite bamboo. Good luck in your search.

    Try getting a Splatter-Raptor or Hot Choco-latte from the V10 line of Prime customs and test your luck. I think @Nick Lectura also needs a 100g ken for a cherry Sander mod tama.

    I got a 90g purple heart ken. That's the heaviest one I own, in a standard size. I wonder why they gave that one to you. Did you request a heavy hitter?

    Yessir. It’s 99.6g. I ordered it to put on a maple Sweets ken, hahaha! Yeah right, there’s a 26g difference! I have an 85.6g Sweets Purple Heart ken, but that’s the only thing close in my collection. Damn hickory!

    I’d be super bummed if I paid that much for a GT and it wasn’t matched.

    I would be a little unnerved if I got that heavy of a tama from a premium company. Who has a 100g ken lying around that they want to jam. A work out after a while.
