2 Pack | Competition Pro Kendama Full Size | Solid Wood Ball and Cup Coordination Toy | Blue and Red Bundle

It's a gift for grandchildren recommended by their dad. It looks like the kids will enjoy playing with it. They're very competitive. This will be good for hand eye co ordination. It was well packaged and arrived in fairly good shape. The box inside the paper bag from Amazon was a little crushed but contents undamaged as they are made of sturdy wood. This is a very playable toy.

I bought these for my sons after they fell in love with a book that features a kendama (Dodsworth in Tokyo by Tim Egan, highly recommend it). They love them, even my husband and I love trying to get the ball on the spear or in the cup! It's tricky and takes practice which is fun. They're also nicely made and seem sturdy. If you're buying them for younger kids, you should know that it's a *solid* wooden ball and almost has the heft of a pool ball on a string. My sons are 6 and 3 and as I was opening the package I had a moment of "whhaat was I thinking with this." We've had a couple near misses of people getting hit with swinging kendama balls, but now we mostly use them outside and it's better. Anyway, great toy, would suggest it for ages 8 or 9 and up though! Even some adults would probably love it!

This toy is so fun, and it improved my hand / eye coordination a lot.

Gifts for boys and girls ages 7 to 11. They all had a lot of fun trying to master them. The 7 year old was the first to have consistent success.

I gave one to both my adult children. However, the string broke on one after only a month use.

Good quality

Really disappointed. Received today and the quality isn't what I expected. I expected them to come intact. I took a photo so you can see that both of the Kendamas are poorly constructed. Causing cracks in each.

Received the items on time, they look good, the colors make it interesting. They work well. However, I am rating it lower because the wood chipped on the first day on one of the kendama's. Very disappointing considering it was the first day. I also have the original's and the quality of the wood on these vs. the originals is noticably different and of lower quality. But for the price you pay can't complain except I would expect it to last more than one day!
