    Go check out what I've been playing with lately!

    Let me know your thoughts! I can't wait to see what crazy tricks you guys cook up. I tried to incorporate my sub-par pen spinning skills too with that funky whirlwind variation at the end :D

    Hahaha yess! I made a 'pendama' a while back, but never really did much with it, once I finished it I had ideas for how to improve it pretty quickly, but then never got around to a V2. Very cool, I might have to dig it out of some box in the shop and re-visit the idea

    Haha nice Alex, you should!

    Here's my Pendama prototype progression so far. First one is a sharpie lol, second is a very poorly turned concept, and 3rd is the closer to final design. Next one will be painted and the shape will be slightly different :D

    You need to mess with the weight to balance it so you can pen spin and do kendama

    Hey friends, been a long time coming but I have finalized the Pendama design. It's now more solid than ever, wanted to change a few things from the last prototype to open up even more trick possibilities. It's been awesome to see what people are doing with these things so far and I can't wait until they get into the hands of the masses :D

    Here's a shots of our second prototype (or fourth if you consider those janky ones up there)




    And the finalized design (better photos coming soon):



    I'm going to release them in a week on Pendama.com (right now it's just a redirect) if you want to pick one up! March 25th at 9:00am :)
    If you get one, make sure to hashtag your posts #Pendama I can't wait to see what you guys do with these things!!!

    Not as much as you'd think. Unless you're going for border balances all the time haha. But yeah the paint is kinda rubbery and pretty resistant to pen marks.
