Can’t wait to snag one. Wish I could’ve gotten in on the first batch. Seems like they really need to start making slightly larger batches at least so everyone can experience one
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Grain Theory really likes to do small batches to keep demand high for their damas. It also makes it a bit more exciting for players that feel like they got something really special. I think the USA made damas are also harder to produce at a larger scale. Once we get the cheaper versions that are made overseas I think the batch sizes will increase for sure.
First off that 1 downvote is someone who got cart jacked. And thanks for the HIGH QUALITY content man always a pleasure rewatching. Rewatching this less than an hour before their batch 2 drop. I think it’s worth it now to support USA made Kendamas. Our economy is gonna need every stimulation we can give it haha, even if that means buying Kendamas less frequently to support 100% USA made products. Edit: got cart jacked. $100 more in my wallet I guess😂
Thanks for kind words man! And I agree! It's always great supporting a USA made dama company if you're able to. They're definitely a high price tag and with everything going on in the world it's understandable that a lot of people can't afford a high end Kendama like this one right now. Sorry you got cart jacked dude! Haha I think it just comes with ever drop these days. Good luck trying to snag one in the future!
I enjoy your videos so much!! Thanks that you doing it! I (ore actually my gf) ordert me a Gt-jw I hope you make a video to before I get it!! Big shout out too you stay healthy and safe Best wishes from Germany 🔥🔥
So do I man. I'd love to get to an upload a week. My schedule is always just super random and it's hard to find time to sit down and shoot one. Hopefully will be filming one over the weekend though. Thanks for the support dude! 🙏
Maybe in the future! I sort of feel like there are enough people putting out edits though and people would get more value out of these reviews. Someday though I'd like to make an edit!
Really nice review man, I really enjoyed watching it! Makes me want to buy a GT-II lol. Also, where did you get that shirt you were wearing in the outro?
Awesome video, incredibly well done as always! Makes me want a GT-II myself, are batches from overseas the same materials/quality as the dama you reviewed here?
The ones made overseas will be slightly worse quality, but around half the price which I think more than makes up for the drop in quality. People will get in heated debates over USA made vs overseas made damas and if they're worth it or not. There really isn't that big of a difference and I'll be waiting for the cheaper versions to be released before buying another one. They'll most likely be the same maple wood though, just from trees on different continents lol
@@kencult Heck yeah! I'll keep my eyes peeled for those then - a lower price point for a dama anywhere close to that quality seems like a steal! Thanks so much for all you do for the community with your stellar videos and killer knowledge - keep up the great work!
Great vid man. Do you think the Gt or the Craft is worth getting? Because I don’t have much money and I’m not sure if I should get it. Please lmk if I should get it or not, Thanks
Honestly, probably not. I would wait until we get a cheaper version of the GT-2 because we know they'll come out with one eventually and just get one of Kusa's cheaper damas that are still on the shift shape. If you want a craft, I'd say checkout the forum at DownSpike.com they have a "for sale" section where players sell their damas and you can usually find a craft for cheap! Might be used a little bit, but probably half the price. Hope that helps!
KEN CULT yo are you willing to sell me your green spectra craft? The one you got in your $200 kendama USA mystery box? Please lmk I really want that spectra kendama. I willing to pay whatever. Love you and your channel keep it up man. ❤️❤️
Hey Ken cult, do you have any 1up shape kendamas you are willing to sell to me? Im very interested in the Alex Mitchell pro model, the Liam Pro model or any 1up shape damas. Please lmk if you have anything you're willing to sell.
It's all relative, my friend. If you don't have the personal finances to warrant a high end kendama purchase, then just don't buy it. Be financially responsible. But you could make this argument for shoes still being made that are over $1000, or super cars for over $1,000,000. There are different people in different financial situations and different markets to cater to them all.
The thing is, these gt s are pretty much the highest quality damas money can buy u, if u never held one, u don't know what I'm talking about. I think you should save to get one and see for yourself, you can always sell a gt because it is a small batch big demand thing, just like sneakers. People would pay over 125 for a brand new gt.
The quality on these reviews is crazy. Great stuff man 🔥
Can you do a review of a lotus, I'm thinking of getting one but some people like them and some people dont, I would love a detailed look at one.
It's already in the works! Not my next video, but the one after will be a lotus review!
We need more channels like this to grow the community
Totally agree. If we want Kendama to keep growing we need more people making content around it. Would love to see more Kendama youtubers!
Really great review! It's cool that GT brands all three parts of the kendama. Tama, sarado, and spike!
lets pray they do a GT2E
Agreed 🙏
Today is a good day. Today is a ken cult day. Good ken cult day.
the way those stickers fell out the packaging was magical
that 3 3 3 was so clean tho haha
Haha thanks homie ❤️
@@kencult yeah trips are kinda wack on this dama but heres a super clean 333 with no knees booyah
Really hope they make an affordable + sticky version like the GT-E1! Still my favorite dama!
Great review. I'm considering picking one of these up myself and this has definitely pushed me more in that direction. Thanks!
I just really like his channel 😂😂
Was really looking forward to this, thanks!
Get this man 1 mil subs
Great review TJ!
Great video as always, also super entertaining. Hope they release an overseas made gt2 in the future 🙏
You made me want to buy a GT-2!
Great video as always. 👍

Maybe in the future! I sort of feel like there are enough people putting out edits though and people would get more value out of these reviews. Someday though I'd like to make an edit!
Im new to kendama and was wondering what is to long of a string
Really nice review man, I really enjoyed watching it! Makes me want to buy a GT-II lol. Also, where did you get that shirt you were wearing in the outro?
It's from HonedMedia! They're wbesite link is in the description. This was a promo shirt from their event "Dama to the Death"
KEN CULT awesome, thanks! I gotta find one of those!
Can you review the big brother II shape from Kendama Israel?
What about the weight? Do they match the weight at this price?
Awesome video, incredibly well done as always! Makes me want a GT-II myself, are batches from overseas the same materials/quality as the dama you reviewed here?

Review on Active V5 when it comes Out?
why is it so premium
Hey Ken cult, do you have any 1up shape kendamas you are willing to sell to me? Im very interested in the Alex Mitchell pro model, the Liam Pro model or any 1up shape damas. Please lmk if you have anything you're willing to sell.
What’s up with the YANK graff zine behind you?
They're a small dama zine created by kendamagoat. Check him out on Instagram. He's working on issue 4 right now
KEN CULT that’s sick, thanks for the tip
If Seth Rogan played kendama
Lol I bet his floor is just made of stickers and boxes.
Hahaha 100%
Gang!
Squad 💪💪💪
Haha i play with a 12 finger string😂
i used to play with 12 finger, not anymore😉
a 100$ kendama when 25m people in this country dont have jobs jake was always out of touch but this is absurd
Ooo salty?

The way he threw the gt stickers , just broke me
