Thinking of Buying a Kendama

I really like the cushion paint too. One of my favorites. It’s noticeably tackier than the standard Ozora will be even broken in imho, unless you go with a rubberized Ozora of course.
The 1st Sweets marbles were a clear coat and slippery as glass new. The latest ones are cushion clear coat and have a bit duller appearance but are tacky.

Even in the short time I’ve been playing I’ve come to appreciate both types of paint. With cushion you won’t be able to make some adjustments quickly without throwing the ken around in tama grip or vice-versa as it sticks that well while the slicker ones you can move around much more which seems to have helped me learn how to adjust from a crooked catch better.
