    Primes are super honed for birds. They actually have a big bevel, but it is deep, locking onto the slip cup rims. On a prime, it takes a little practice to know how to land it on those skinny cup rims, but once you got it, it will bird fo' dayz

    Prime is soooo hoooned for stalls! You need to practise birds, and as bevel is more destroyed, birds locks in better

    I'm using a prime ken with an old F3 tama, and I can still land birds just fine, so yea, just keep playing it and you should have a pretty solid dama for stalls!

    Whether it's a Prime ken or not, whether it's a bird or a lunar, if you're that close to a trick all you have to do is grind it out until you've hit it 100%.

    I'd say it might be a problem with your bevel. I have some tamas that have taken some unfortunate falls right near the bevel, and the dents around the bevel hole have made it harder to consistently land stalls.

    image.jpg It seems like you just need to break the bevel in more, my pop used to be pretty good at stalls but now it's super honed! But if you need help for stalls you can ask me! Or @Gasiek he is insanely good at them
