This was pretty well put together! :D There were lots of fun angles and cinematic shots to give this project good documentary vibes, I like that you were able to include footage of a few kendama competitions and showcase how fun they could be, and it was neat to hear everyone's interview answers! I'm actually kinda resonating with Joshua and his point about playing with a kendama feeling like a nice break from technology since I've been picking kendama back up as of late and slipping sessions throughout the days.. ;u; Alsoooo, Joshua and Nick getting picked up as sponsors for kendama teams/distributors after winning competitions reminds of the same sort of thing happening in speedcubing!
good ideas for lighthouse varations, that will help for my progression, thank you ! nice setup, Sulab Tama + Bamboo Legend Ken ! (would be nice to hear your opinion about bamboo, maple, ash, beech Kens on some video)
That's some crazy stuff, it looks so cool. I just started doing Kendama 2 days ago so im Not anywhere near your skill. For me the normal lighthouse is so hard, so it's gonna be quite some time until I can do some combos. Keep it up
Nice ! Good Review I mannage to build one in Kendama Depot today ! The best i could do with the weights available was 80g Maple Ken with 73g Ash cush tama. Do you think its ok to have a 7g heavier ken? (i just noticed that your Ascent2 has the same 7g ken heavy distribution, help on lunars?) I never had a heavier ken setup, normaly you see the oposite.. What is the weight of yours? missed it on the review. Thanks ! Would love to see what you think about this
honestly it’s all personal preference but i do prefer to have the weights closer to each other within 5ish grams. my ascent 2 is 83.8 ken and 75.4 tama.
@@MicahChinn Thanks for answering Mica. How do you feel about the ascent 2 being on a heavier ken setup? changes anything for your lunars? maybe it helps? Think i will be fine.. cant wait to try the Legend shape with naty ash tama.
0:04 When using a new Sweets Cush, do you prepare your bevel doing something like usign a coin/sanding/concreting or you just play and hope for the best ? Good videos, thanks
If sweets had more consistency I’d be more of a fan of cushion. Friction clear seems to have a way better wear to me as well. Every cushion tama I’ve had has been a very delicate surface that disappears to the paint below quickly. I haven’t had any paint fall off of a friction clear except near the bevel.
