Yo MATSON, I would highly suggest an Ozora over a TK16. The Ozoras tend to play very well out of the box and I have found the paint to wear better as well. The TKs tend to be VERY slippery out of the box making it hard for any sort of balance trick for beginners.

although this seems to be a pretty common thought, in my experience the ozora I had was awful for the bird because the ring around the hole was pronounced a sharp edge, the paint was very hard so if it did shart chipping it all basically came off, but ozoras are balanced.

My favorite dama I've had is a TK16 Blue, can stick more tricks more easily on it and its a little heavier which I like and beginners will like (MATSON).

i would get a kendama usa premiere, because it has a reinforced handle so your not always having to slide the pieces back together after alot of use.

alright man, I'm no pro, I have both I like the TK better, just preference. thing about kendamas is they are made of wood, so they vary a lot. so as much as your analyzing which one you should get it really doesnt matter much. that being said I've heard TK's are better for beginners but as a beginner you will not be able to see the difference for a while so just pick a color you like and roll with it.

two last things:

Get one with this sticker on it:

means its competition grade, otherwise its just imitation ish.

BUY IT FROM KENDAMA USA

With the ball (tama) on the handle (ken), you should be able to pull the string down and fit two fingers under the bottom of the ken.

nation wide phenomenon started at my highschool, colin sander and zack yourd both graduated from here, /claim not that im trying to impress people its just actually true beats me on how it got sooo big, but it did. and wiz picked it up because his filmer (bill paladino) also graduated from my school in the same class as colin sander.

theres your fun facts for today ns I am prepared to be called out on this as a lie, but i wont waste my time arguing with yinz immatures believe me or not.......thems is the facts!

Just takes some practice man. It is very rare for someone to be able to pick it up and be good at it from the start. Just use your knees and bring it straight up!
