HOLYKING builds this one from wood with three solid wooden cups on a 6.7 inch ken, plus a painted ball on a pre-strung tether. It works for left and right handed players and comes in red or white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 6.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: wood, with solid wooden cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall (tama): painted with a clear top coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString: pre-strung tether\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCups: three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors: Red or White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits left and right handed players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow you play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the ken, let the ball hang, then bend your knees and lift so the ball swings up and lands in a cup. Work through the three cups one at a time. Each catch asks for a little more control, and you feel the improvement day by day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight matters on a kendama, and this one has enough heft in the ken to swing through tricks without feeling floaty. The clear coat over the paint keeps the ball from chipping when it misses and hits the floor. The tether holds the ball to the ken so a wild swing does not send it across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy families pick it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kendama needs no screen and no battery, and a ten minute session works hand-eye coordination, balance and reflexes. Siblings compete for the longest streak. It is a catch and toss game that offers a screen-free break, and left or right handed players can share the same one. The solid wooden cups hold up well to all the bouncing. Keep it dry and wipe it with a cloth, since wood does not like a damp bag. The string wears over time, so check it now and then and retie it if it frays near the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/toys-games-for-babies-kids\"\u003eskill toys and activity games for kids\u003c\/a\u003e at Big Frenchies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DS-AMZ","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":50654395924720,"sku":"AMZ-B07ZD4ZQ5L","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":50654395957488,"sku":"AMZ-B087RPY3T5","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0434\/7985\/9361\/files\/51aS0VebBPL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1792809793","url":"https:\/\/www.bigfrenchies.com\/products\/holyking-kendama-wooden-japanese-cup-and-ball-game-b087rpy3t5","provider":"BIG FRENCHIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
