Occult kendama paints…
Sticky, matte, and nuu clear. How do these compare for those that own them? What’s nuu clear in comparison to the other two?

Which to keep fresh, which to sesh?
I have way more legend Kens, so I’m thinking I maybe say the legend and sesh the 2up.

Goodbye November!
I’m gonna miss Natty November but I’m also kinda excited it’s coming to an end haha. Trying to end the month with a bang! Also trying to focus on improving my filming as well so kind of out of frame.
If you’re newer to kendama like me I highly recommend rockin a natty setup as part of your regular rotation. I know I said this before but It’s helped me improve so much in some ways I never would’ve attempted before. I couldn’t really do lunars with this setup and was only able to land one 1 turn lighthouse so it’s forced me to think outside the box and just practice the fundamentals a lot.
Last thing… if anyone could tell me what this is called that’d be tight!
