Keith's good, he's just been at home with his fam. Social media was never his favourite venture so I'm not surprised he deleted a lot of it
Currently a TK-16 ken with a Blue Steel Girr tama. Nothing too special about it but its a solid player.
Tough call right now... most played dama in the past week is def the maple Craft 2.0 though. Runner up is a Terraply handturned ken with one of my pro mod tamas on it, been jamming that one a bunch as well! When I first started I would be much more prone to really hone in on one setup for a long time. These days I bounce around a lot more, I guess that just goes to show how many good options there are now!
My favorite right now is either a Max Norcross 2017 pro mod tama on a homegrown maple ken, or my nihon maple krom slaydawg.
Recently it's been a maple Sol Vibe, but prior to those being made, I spent a lot of time jamming natties!
Ash RWB classic x sweets cushion orange tama is the current favorite. Close second is the birch RWB x pink/green Sweets cushion tama.
My favorite kendama is a custom painted shenzhu that was gifted to me a little over two years ago. It plays great, and has a lot of nostalgia behind it. Recently, my go to jammers have been a Purple Shin Fuji Roku, and a Maple Terra LBB ken laced up to a White Ash LBB tama.
What does yours look like? There seem to be a few different versions of rokus, I'm always interested to see. I'll post a pic of mine asap, I think its on the wall in the terra workshop
Like this! This is the most common pattern that I have seen available in the U.S., I would like to track down a different one if I could just to have.
