    I come from a yoyo-ing background, so by default I enjoy string tricks. But i seem to only use the core tricks in my combos. I.E. Spacewalk, handrolls, swirls, etc. What are the more unconventional string tricks you can use to spice up a string combo?

    Videos of trick would be appreciated!

    Cheers, have a nice day!

    In the kendamaUsa trick section they have funhouse, and when I do it fast, and just have the ken hanging, my friends who aren't into kendama freak out. The sweets special is also pretty cool, there was a recent thread in the beginner forums

    Sweets special is awesome along with root canal. One other thing to do is din's fire.

    i just looked up din's fire. i like everything up to that part where he literally just uncrosses his arms holding the kendama, i feel like there are a ton of easy and much cooler ways to do that hold part.

    I'm not much of a stringy guy, but Cold Pizzas are a go to that I absolutely love.
