Why is some new paint getting super dirty, is there anyway to prevent this?
Been playing for 10 + years, got some new games from sol and krom and the paint is matte and collects dirt or grime or something, what's up with this new paint, should I store them in dama bags or something, how do I prevent this, why can't we have sticky paint that won't get grimey? Has anyone noticed this ?

Similar Kendama options
I recently got this Occult Freddy Krueger kendama, and I think it’s really great. Can anyone recommend a kendama with a similar size and weight? I’d like to avoid wearing this one out too much. Thanks!

Mugen Musou Infinity 8 Ball
Mugen Musou just announced their upcoming Infinity design, a gorgeous Walnut Maple combo with an 8/Infinity symbol set into the Tama. I'm obviously a huge fan of everything this company does so I wanted to spread the word. Will update with a release date when I find out

Natty November so far, using a basic ozora
This kendama is definitely helping me be more controlled and not rely on the kendama to do all the work. Noticing that I need to practice my Ken flips more. Never noticed that the more modern kendamas help so much with Ken flips.

Nothing crazy, I just got the new iPhone and I wanted to test out the slow motion effect. I took a short break but I have a feeling I’ll be playing with my wood a lot more now with this new camera 🤓
