SpinGear SG Kendama Freestyle (Circuit)

SpinGear Design, which has been handling kendamas from both Japan and overseas for over 10 years since the dawn of the street kendama boom, presents its own brand of competition-grade kendama. Designed to suit the current competitive scene, the large cup and high-grip ball are easy to use and recommended even for beginners. By hollowing out the inner cup and adding a lid, it creates a hollow structure with excellent weight balance. The ball features a classic sticky coating that ensures a secure hold. The coating is thick, providing excellent grip. The ball has a diameter of 62.5mm and a hole size of 23.5mm. All four colors feature a striped design that is highly visible when spinning, making it easy to see the hole position and direction of rotation. [Specifications] Sticky finish / Balance hole in the middle tray: Yes. Balance hollow + clutch spot structure / Bearing standard equipped in thread stopper / Includes one spare thread and threader [Wood] Ken: Beech (only the clutch spot on the middle cup is cherry) / Tama: Beech [Size] Large cup: approx. 49mm / Small cup: approx. 46mm / Middle cup: approx. 40mm / Width of cup body: approx. 75.5mm / Height of ken: approx. 170mm This is a kendama that anyone who has the opportunity to "play with young children" should definitely have. Kendamas found in children's centers and after-school programs tend to be cheap toy kendamas chosen to prioritize cost, and as a result, they are often more difficult to use than competition kendamas and are not played with much. This beginner's kendama is designed so that the basic kendama tricks, such as "big cup" and "moshikame," are easier to succeed with than competition kendamas, making it a strong ally to encourage first-time kendama players to say "I did it!!". The diameter of the ball is slightly smaller than a regular kendama and it is lighter in weight, so even children and the elderly can easily lift it. The size of the cup is also larger than that of competition kendamas, so the ball gets stuck deeper in the cup and is less likely to fall out. Even when tilted to the angle shown in the photo of "Point 5", there is really no sign of it falling out, so even small children who cannot maintain a straight angle can successfully do the big cup trick. In addition, the distinction between the large and small cups is immediately obvious, which is an advantage for those who have the opportunity to teach kendama, as it makes it easier to teach how to hold the kendama and distinguish between the cups. It's a good starting point before stepping up to competitive kendama. I highly recommend it as a hand kendama!
