Best Performance Kendama?

[WoodinvilleKendama]

Since I have started playing kendama I have always used Oozoras because I believe they play the best of all kendamas, but the newer models seem to have a slippery glossy paint. This paint doesn't get stickier after a lot of play like the older models did. I have found this very frustrating and lunars as well as lighthouses have become a pain. I want to try some new models and I want to know in your guys opinion what is the best performance kendama. It can be any model from any year, and I want to know what makes the kendama good. Thank you.

Hi there, and welcome to the forum.
This kind of question crops up fairly often, so have a read of the following threads to start with:
http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,116.0.html
http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,346.0.html

Of course, people's opinions change, and different models come and go in terms of availability, so if anyone has anything to add, go ahead!
