If you have a chance, I'd love to see tricks like the last one on slow-mo. My eyes barely follow.

It's amazing what a simple change of kendama can do. I've been quite rubbish at 1 turn lunars for a while, they always seemed a bit hit and miss. Changed the game up a little bit this morning with an almost fresh Sweets pro model and landed 5 or 6 in just a few minutes. Got my first stilt flip on that kendama about a week or so ago too, I swear it has magical properties.

[The Void]

So is it you doing the trick, or the kendama?

[John]

That is actually a great question, Void! Made me stop and think about it. I need the right tools to do the job, of course. I just went back to the first kendama and I'm still struggling with it. I seem to be able to control the spin of the Sweets ken a lot more evenly (1 point to me) and it in turn has excellent lunar balance which is a big bonus (1 point to the kendama). It's certainly a 2-way relationship, and it's just a case of using the strengths of each kendama to your advantage.
