    @LunaTac You got an ash one? Looks like maple to me, I thought the ash just became available to order just recently.

    Were you just implying the ash drop? or was there something more?

    Also had a question on the craft cup size. I know the cups are larger, how do they compare to the slaydawg's cups? I just got a dawg and I REALLY want a craft to slay and compare to, but I just can't justify/afford another kendama... :( So curious though.

    I'm curious about the 2.0 and the Slim too. I'd love to get my eyes and hands on a couple of each.

    I tip my hat to Kendama USA and for all the KUSA pros that created the Craft line of kendamas. I recently picked up a Maple Slim a short while ago and definitely love it. I usually don't have the patience to break in natty's, but this one is different than most that I have tried. Maybe it was the weather in my area or the hand sweat, but the Craft tama had a decent amount of grip to it. I'm not the best at balance tricks (part of the reason why I prefer painted tamas), but I was able to land a fair share of balance tricks on it. I really enjoy how the ken feels; very solid feeling, the lines on the base cup and big cup and sharpness of the inside cup edges is amazing.
