Big Brother / Kendama Israel - The Kendama France test
Hello everyone, today little article on the Big Brother from home Kendama Israel. Why go back to this shape you ask? Well because despite its age compared to the most recent, the 1% de Krom or Shift from Kusa, the Big Brother is not yet obsolete!
In 2017, KISR decided to improve their OG shape by making it evolve on several aspects: enlargement of the cups, a Kendama more imposing overall, and finally a balance hole (V1) or oil on the base cup (V2). The first goes up the center of gravity towards the sarado and favors the lunars. The second has a visual advantage for the rotations of the ken and strengthens the wood. Regarding tamas and varnishes, the famous Rhino Clear and Hippo Clear have slight differences with their predecessors:
These “Made in Israel” varnishes are, for many players, among the best in the world of Kendama. Very pleasant to the touch, they are at the same time sticky but they leave free the movements of the Ken. Playing with these clears brings great satisfaction! Whatever wood they seem to be applied to: bamboo, beech (beech), Maple (maple), they are always on point. Finally, the geometric handmade designs are really out of the ordinary (Ikigai, Kintsugi, Cube…
Well it's nice to have beautiful tamas but what gives this shape which does not appear to be original. Well there is all its strength, the Big Brother is ultra complete. Whether you like lunars, juggles, stalls, it weighs in all areas! Birds naturally get stuck on the sarado even when the Kendama is new, what more could you ask for!
In summary, the Big Brother is a Kendama all-rounder, truly versatile and robust. A good model to develop your panel of tricks whatever your tastes. We leave you on Liad explaining these words:
