Flat spots on tama

[br4d24]

Hey guys, love my yellow oozora but unfortuantly it has taked a few tumbles. Now it seems almost impossible to lighthouse anymore due to some flat spots (might have been from just lots of spiking too). Anyone else experience this or have a way to deal with it?

sadly...you may need a new dama:/
or....you could maybe make that your designated spacewalk dama?

damn thats super disapointing! I just got that one. Maybe i just need to get super good at lighthouses?

[BrandonYoder]

ahhh....that does suck...
well...its not a bad idea!
Honestly..learning/practicing on something that makes it harder only makes you better when you get your hands on a normal kendama.

also...The exact opposite(in most cases) applies when using a sticky tama..because the tama is sticky, once you get your hands on any normal painted ken you will slide all over the place.

not that it applies to this situation. ha

I chipped my KenUSA on the bottom cup.. which makes lighthouses harder.. But there isn't really anything you cam do about it..
