    This year's KWC will see four brand new damas, and we've already seen the Ozora RS.

    This morning (2018/06/29), Gloken announced three more new blings set to be released during KWC!


    First up, the Sanga Hasukai series, Hasukai being a derivative from the Japanese word meaning 'diagonal'.

    Second, the new Dendama v2, titled "Gummy", inspired from gummy candy colorways.

    Lastly, the LEGAXIS (le-ga-sis) Koi Fish, which, is obviously inspired from the koi fish. The black stripe is engraved to mimic koi fish scales, while functioning as sort of tactile feedback, and grip.

    I am thrilled to try out the Koi Fish, i think it's gonna be my favorite new design to pair with my "DS" colorway REZ.

    I applaud Sanga for keeping to the old S-type shape and developing the shape in small increments.
    I own a cherry Sanga myself, and it’s a very well made kendama.

    Looks like it was only Kickstarter that was cancelled. The Dendama Japan website is still up.

    Lets get a thread going of all the juicy damas we can't cop because we aren't in Japan.

    Everything that is dropping in honor of the Kendama World Cup and the exclusives that you can only get if you are there!

    The GT x Legaxis was only announced, not released. It’s coming out somewhere in September starting with the BH mod.
    This is a KWCx430 Decade Keyaki collab. They’re supposed to get more at the shop but might be hard to cop for US players

    Both the yaki and that Kenholix look so good! I was super tempted by a yaki, kinda bummed I didn't buy one.

    I got a Dendama 2.0 though! Have tried it out a little and seems to work okay. Gotta get it a proper charge though! Both sessions I've had with it ended early cause it was only partially charged lol

    I asked Norx to tell me the price on those because I want one. The first version was ok, but this one looks so much more legit

    So far it seems... okay. Some of the game modes are super hard to play, because you can't watch the screen and the dama at the same time lol.
    You also have to play more slowly, and 'purposefully', if that makes sense. Quick tricks won't register well, it takes a bit of adaptation to get it working well. I still have to really go in for a sesh though.

    Literally would not work, sadly. It is much better suited for consistency tricks, not for speed at all.

    Mannn DamaBlitz is the shit.
    Thanks again @htimSxelA for introducing me to it.
    And i'm glad the name stuck!

    If only there was a way to make the clock bigger..
    And the buttons, further apart

    Yea, name cred to Azrin! I like it.

    Button size isn't too bad imo, but separated would be cool!
