3. Enstalasyon ak Asanble

Your KROM POP LOL Kendama comes pre-assembled. However, it is important to ensure the string is correctly attached and at an appropriate length for optimal play.

3.1. Checking String Length

To check the string length, hold the ken (handle) with the spike pointing upwards. The tama (ball) should hang freely. The ideal string length allows the tama to reach just below the base of the spike, or approximately the width of two fingers from the bottom of the ken when held taut.

3.2. Replacing the String

If the string becomes worn or breaks, use the provided bonus string for replacement. Follow these steps:

1. Carefully untie the old string from the ken and the tama.
2. Thread one end of the new string through the small hole in the tama. Secure it with a knot inside the tama's larger hole.
3. Thread the other end of the string through the hole in the ken, from the bottom cup up through the spike.
4. Tie a secure knot at the end of the string, ensuring it is snug against the base of the ken.

4. Operating Your Kendama: Basic Techniques

The KROM POP LOL Kendama features a special sticky paint on the tama and larger cups, designed to assist with landing tricks and improving grip. Practice is key to mastering the Kendama.

4.1. Holding the Kendama

Hold the ken firmly by the handle, ensuring a comfortable grip. The spike can point upwards or downwards depending on the trick. For basic catches, hold the ken with the large cup facing upwards.

4.2. Basic Catch (Big Cup)

1. Hold the ken with the large cup facing up. Let the tama hang freely.
2. Gently swing the tama upwards in a controlled motion.
3. As the tama reaches its peak, guide the large cup to meet the hole in the tama, catching it securely.

4.3. Spike Catch

1. Hold the ken with the spike pointing upwards. Let the tama hang freely.
2. Swing the tama upwards, aiming for the hole in the tama to align with the spike.
3. Carefully impale the tama onto the spike. The sticky paint on the tama assists in this maneuver.
