    So any tips on speeding up my game?
    E.g. I can lighthouse 1.5 in but when I try and tap the lighthouse instead of catching it it goes everywhere same with lighthouse flips.
    Be great if anyone has some advice or Is this just an I'll naturally build speed over time deal?

    Yeah a lot of it is just a "the more you play, the better you'll get" kind of thing haha

    hard work and dedication I think like anything whether Kendama or learning guitar is to do it each day even if its just 15-20 minutes a day its that consistent effort that will pay off

    Consistency first, then speed. That seems to apply to a lot of skill based activities I've noticed even something as mundane as tying knots. :D

    I started Kendama Feb 14 and it’s now March 11th I have practiced everyday. Some days I only have time for 15-20 minutes other days 1-1 1/2 hours but each day I practice what I know over and over and stretch myself to learn one or two new tricks or at least try to land them. My progress is slow but consistent
