Main lines of Sweets Kendamas

• Prime: entry-level range. Beech wood, no tacky paint. Good value for money to get started.
• Focus: mid range. More refined finishes than the Prime.
• Sticky: line with tacky paint on the cups. It's what serious players use for balance tricks.
• Pro Models: collaborative editions with professional players (signed or with distinctive aesthetics).
• Limited series: seasonal drops with premium materials or special aesthetics.

How to choose your Sweets kendama

1. If you've never played kendama: Sweets Prime is a good entry option. It lets you learn the basic tricks without investing much.
2. If you already play and want to step up: Sweets Sticky. The tacky paint completely changes the feel and unlocks balance tricks that are much harder with a non-tacky kendama.
3. For competition: Sweets Pro Model. Each model has a weight, a cup size and specific details that reflect the style of the signing player.
4. As a gift: Sweets Sticky in a bold colour. Good finish, careful presentation and enough level for the recipient to make the most of it even if they're not a beginner.
