SUPER stoked to have and play this Kendama USA Wyatt Bray Pro Mod. Awesome kendama, highly recommended. Big thanks to KUSA for sending it to me. Shoutout to Wyatt Bray for becoming the newest pro and for having the sickest pro mod.
Great review and edit. Curious to know how you become more aware of differences between kaizen and new 2.0
@Almostgets I'm just going to play it more, maybe take some solid time to really compare the 2 in more detail. That kind of stuff is interesting to me, but I have to make time to do it.
Great vid man, the Bray mod is so sick! Do you think the bamboo plays better than other kendamas as far as weight and feel goes?
@Bloukinen I think it is really hard to qualify "better" for most things kendama. It is very much personal preference. There are certainly trends and things that a lot of people like. And I guess woods and bamboo have certain qualities that could be taken into consideration... Anyway, I really like the bamboo. Very distinct and unique. Maybe not better, but very good for sure. It feels hard to me and I think it is very slick if you don't have a tacky/sticky tama.
I think one of the dama almost guaranteed to have good lunar balance is the Dave Mateo pro model. The padauk's weight contrasts with birch's weight very well, so having a heavier sarado is one of the good factor of his pro model.
