Alright so I have an Ozora, which is amazing, I mean I love it.  But its very hard for me to do any balancing tricks as in Lighthouse, Lunars, etc.  I'm looking to get a sticky kendama, not the tribute super stick though, but possibly a sweets atack, or a homegrown/woodgrain.  Not to sure if the woodgrain is sticky or not, but I know for a fact its a lot easier to do balance tricks, based on my experience using my friend's kendama.  So Atack or natural/Woodgrain/homegrown?  If there are big differences between the homegrown, natural, and woodgrain, please feel free to say so, but please no answers like, "Oh the atack is way to sticky.  Get a tribute super stick."  Thank you!  New to the forum so please spam with answers :)

Hi Mylo,
Welcome to the forum. My usual, and boring answer, is that it's not the kendama, it's you. Practice more, learn Lighthouse on your Ozora without seeking the crutch of a sticky kendama, and you'll end up as a better player.
If you really want a new kendama, get the one you like the look of best. (Or read through the reviews/advice to get a feel of opinions.)
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

aTacks are sticky. just as sticky as a silk tribute, imo. if you play too long with a tama thats "sticky," when you play with a slick tama, its like having to learn to play all over again. woodgrain kendamas are my all time favorites. i would honestly get a natural ozora, and play it til it breaks!

Thank you for the answers!  To be honest, now I agree with you Void.  I'll work on my lighthouses and lunars on the ozora.  Right now I dont know If Im replying to one of you or both, but thanks for the advice.  And Pik, i think My next kendama will be a woodgrain :)  seems like something I would like.  Thanks guys.
