    What kendama do you PERSONALLY slay the hardest? This is not "what kendama do you think is the best" but rather which one fits your slayage the best and why?
    Pics are welcome.

    Slaydawg for me!
    Tama breaks in well for stalls, which are my favorite!

    My slaydawg kills the stall game but that is not quite my steeze so it is like third on the list.

    The Sweets Prime Stripes, "Goochi" makes me go ham baloney on basically all tricks. It used to be PRIME for lunars and lighthouses, but then my brother decided to put his lotion hands on it one day, ruining it. It still slays pretty hard though.

    My 2.0 craft plus. I'm a beast with it. Perfect stalls, great lunars and I just know it so well. Such good weights, I just love to use it.

    Right now, I put a Craft Maple tama on a Beech 2.0 ken. Feels like such a jammer especially with the humidity in my country.

    I think it would be pro clear marble tama on my cherry Kaizen ken. It's a really heavy setup, but it's satisfying when I land a trick.

    Not exactly sure what it is (if someone can identify the Ken please do). 20170708_213107.jpg Sweets Focus? Ken on an RWB Ash Tama.

    Absolutely slays and it's the only thing I've been grabbing recently. Stalls grip like nothing else..

    This one for me is definitely one of, if not my top slayer. Sol Static Shock tama on a Classic Hickory ken from RWB. Stalls on lock, good lunar balance, everything that I do with kendama just gets and feels even more honed in when I jam this.

    20170709_115746.jpg For some reason I just find a really good flow with my Atlantic kendama. @Coach_Moni turned me onto Atlantic kendamas a few months back and this thing has turned me into a flow artist for sure. I just slay this beast better than anything. Slapped a KUSA yellow string, a bearing and a Downspike sticker for ultimate SLAYAGE!!!

    My kush clear eddy cooper mod is easily the best slayer in my collection, its almost a completely flat spike with a gnarly chip on the handle and is still a beast. Bummed i cant get another one (at least not kush) if you've ever owned a coopmod then you feel my pain. #GOATMOD

    Ok, so right now as I said before I am slaying a craft plus 2.0, as well as a craft plus slim with a slaydawg tama. As most of you probably know the aynedter mods are dropping this Saturday, and I'm wondering if I should get one. Is there anyone out there that can tell me how good the tracking is compared to a craft, and if the base cup being 1.5 shape makes the lunar balance better. I know that it has the dub-bev and that would be good, but is it really worth the $95?
