Specs:

Tama: 62 mm, 25 mm bevel

Ken: CNC Shinaji 2.0

Paint: Antiskid 2.0 Matte Clear (eco-friendly, non-slip)

Tracking: Bold stripe design

Play style: Starter → Pro

The Benjamin Brian Pro Model Kendama features cool retro themed artwork and reflects Ben’s love for the 80’s era.

The tama is available in your choice of our updated superstick or rubberized silk paint.

SixFinger Strings are the highest quality kendama strings on the market!
Made from braided nylon they are resilient and offer the perfect balance of bounce and sturdiness.
These are the strings we have been using on our Homegrowns and Pro Models for years, now with some extra length.

Why SixFinger Strings?

Tricks are evolving and nowadays many players prefer a longer string.

Sweets SixFinger Strings are extra-long by design so you can choose the perfect length for you!

Keep it traditional with 2 fingers or land all the juggles with a full 6.

There is a guide in every string pack to use as a reference when trimming your string. Everyone has different size fingers and playing preferences, so figure out what works best for you!

A traditional way to measure string lengths is to count how many fingers you can fit between the basecup and the end of your string while the tama is on the spike.

11 Packs include:

11 Strings
6 Spinner Beads
5 Plastic Beads
4 Stickers
4 Stringing Tool

All SixFinger strings are approximately 23.5 inches (60cm) in length, and produced exclusively for Sweets Kendamas.

With the vibes of Atlanta in ’96 this collaboration with Georgia Kendama Players is an epic addition to any kendama collection.

The Joshua ‘Flow’ Grove Pro Mods are BACK in the new Sweets Legend Shape!

Grove is one of the most amazing people in our community. His dedication to pushing kendama forward through education alongside constantly raising the bar on tricks and combos makes us honored to call him a friend and teammate. His journey has been amazing to be a part of and we cannot wait to see what he does next!

I never would have thought that this piece of wood would forever change my life but 12 years later here we are living and teaching full time Kendama.
Kendama is much more than a toy or a game. It is a vehicle for self expression, and a tool for continuous growth. If you can be patient with yourself and observe each attempt, each day as an opportunity to be grateful to learn and to grow, and refuse to give up in the face of adversity, then that in which your mind can perceive and your mind can believe, you may eventually achieve.
This Kendama is dedicated to The Rouge Valley. To Oregon. To the endless mountain adventures that await. To my grandmother. To my Love, family and wonderful friends that keep pushing me and my potential. Without them I would not be where I am today.
