About Sweets Kendamas: American kendama brand

Sweets was founded in Minneapolis (Minnesota) in 2010 and over time has become one of the most recognised names in the kendama world. They work with a team of sponsored players who collaborate on the design of several of their models.

The catalogue is organised in different parallel lines, each one aimed at a specific player profile. Together with European brands like KROM Kendama and Kendama Europe, Sweets is one of the most common references in today's kendama scene.

How to choose your Sweets kendama by level

Beginner

Recommended: Starter or Prime

If you have never picked up a kendama or you are just a few weeks in, the Starter line is enough to learn the basic tricks (big cup, small cup, base cup, spike). The Prime line is the natural next step once you have mastered the basics and want a more refined finish.

Intermediate

Recommended: Tracker, Horizon Fade or Broken Bones

If you already handle the basic tricks confidently and are starting with lunars, juggles or short combos. Sweets offers several options here, whether you prefer a standard shape (Tracker, Horizon Fade) or want to explore an alternative shape (Broken Bones).

Advanced

Recommended: Pro Models V2 with Antiskid

For players looking for precision in balance tricks (lunars, lighthouses, stalls), long combos or competitive play. The Pro Models V2 with Antiskid 2.0 finish are designed for that kind of play, with player-specific shapes.

Frequently asked questions about Sweets Kendamas

What is the Antiskid finish on Sweets Kendamas?

Antiskid is a matte finish applied on the cups and the base of the ken (the wooden hammer-shaped part). It adds controlled friction that helps the ball stay in place during balance tricks like lunars, lighthouses or stalls.

The 2.0 version improves durability over the original, holding its properties better after long sessions. The Pro Models V2 include it by default.

What is the difference between a Pro Model and the Prime line?

The Prime is the mid-range line in the catalogue, with a standard shape and refined finish. It is aimed at players who know the basics and want to progress.

The Pro Models V2 are a different category: each one is signed by a Sweets sponsored player and usually includes a slightly customised shape designed alongside that player, plus the Antiskid 2.0 finish. They are the most technical line and target advanced players.

Are Sweets Kendamas suitable for beginners?

Yes. The Starter line is specifically built for getting started: standard shape, basic finish, enough grip to learn without complications. A reasonable option if you want to start with a recognised brand without jumping straight into a Pro model.

If you have already used kendamas or want a better finish from the start, the Prime line also works as an entry point.

What materials and woods does Sweets use?

Sweets mainly uses beech wood for both the ken and the tama (ball). It is a standard wood in the kendama world for its density and impact behaviour, offering a reasonable balance between durability and weight.

The finish varies by line: basic series use standard paint or lacquer, intermediate lines have more refined finishes, and the Pro Models V2 carry the Antiskid 2.0 system.
