No Mash paint? Terra paint? Girr? Yumu whatever sticky paint? tsk tsk Anyways, I have a prototype KUSA tama from a few years ago, stickiest thing ever made (and I've seen/played THOUSANDS of damas in my day). It was so crazy, it was never produced, it wasn't even playable. Its the true LOL paint, lol
I played a super beat metallic orange momma kendama back in like 2012, definitely the stickiest and best lunar dama ever to have existed.
aTack or Sourmash. To be fair, I only count a paint as "sticky" if I can actually stick the tama to the cups and have it stay there. Otherwise it's just a tama that has a lot of grip or tack to me. But aTack and Mash are definitely my top 2 stickiest. Next would have to be pro clear on a hot day. Actually all 3 on a hot day are super sticky
To be more serious, Terra paint or aTack is prob 'stickiest'. Get a thick-coated Terra painted tama on a hot humid day, and lunar eclipse is easy. Mash paint is the stickiest feeling when you touch it though. The old sauce models are gnar!
Stickiest i have are my roots custom tama (jade keyaki ozora) and pokeball alpha paint from kayadama.
I just got a Matt Ballard slaydawg for christmas which is crazy, so for the options listed I'd say the LOL clear. But actually, the stickiest one I own is my ÆØÅ kendama from Kendama Norway.
I got a gold cush when they first came out and it's so sticky it's unplayable really. I'm hoping I just got a bad batch and that's not how cush really is bc I wanna try other cush tamas.
Yeah I played with a natty beech cush and one of those blue and black halfsplits, and the difference in grip was super noticeable. The blue/black felt like I was holding one of those sand stress balls and played the same. Super grippy to the point where I couldn't rover because it wouldn't adjust. The natty Cush was a little more playable, it had enough grip for my lunes to smack but not so much that I couldn't adjust if I wanted to
