A note from Max on his new shape: “For my shape I wanted to mainly focus on taps, kenflips, and lighthouses. I wanted a shape that would compliment the other pro shapes Terra has and not try to make the perfect all-arounder. This brought me to the Gyro shape.
Tall, balanced, with just a small base cup hole to still smack lunars, this shape really fits the new gen juggle lines that we see a lot of today. I love Rod’s Kocho shape, so I used that as the template and changed dimensions from there. I took a lot of inspiration from the old Grain Theory Nic Stodd shape. That shape really formed my idea of what the best kendama shape should be. This shape really turned out better than I could have hoped, I’m sure you’ll unlock that next kenflip or tap you’re chasing with it <3.” -Max
A portion of all pro model sales get paid as a royalty to that pro, so by purchasing a Max pro model, you help support Max in his kendama journey. Each package includes an extra string & bearing pack. Extra stickers included with every order.
Terra Kendama has built a reputation for upholding the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship, through an un-matched attention to detail that other production processes simply don’t allow.
Terra Kendama is a proudly Canadian company based in Vancouver, BC. We have been pushing the limits of kendama creation since 2011, helped by a team of dedicated players and makers around the world.
Terra Kendama is the only business run by professional players making hand-turned kendamas: All Terra hand-turned kens are made by Alex Smith, and the Roddama hand-turned kens are made by Rodney Ansell. Both Alex and Rodney have maintained positions as pro players for years, so they are well-versed in the sort of details that set a good kendama apart from the rest.
Not every wood species makes a good kendama, but we’ve done our homework to make sure that every product made in our workshop will stand up to the abuse of modern kendama play. Working at a small scale allows us to easily test new designs and wood species, so that we can make the best kendamas on the market.
