This is Jakob the guy who sold you the Mike tama. Man you the goat, pioneer and killing it in the RUclips space we need more kendama media online and this guy paving the way let’s go!
I would say a good batch of maple is better than ash. It breaks in better in my opinion. But both are pretty equal like you said. The crushable bev makes a HUGE difference. The old bevels were hard to break in but the crush makes it soooo nice for stalls. Game changer for sure! And they went from 61 to 62mm tamas and that has also changed the game with the bigger kens out there:) Also average sulab sale right now is between $65-$80 second hand. You can definitely find them $60-$65 in fkc
you don’t really need a membership it can help but if u just make sure the time they drop and cop in the first 15 minutes and should be alright i have 5 also if they have a evolve coat get it it’s there best paint im my opinion great review keep it up man
For the record i was able to snag a hulk fc without any membership. Just need to use paypal but other than that not hard to order. Shipping was quick all the way to us as well
Friction clear is the best hands down. You don’t need the subscription. As long as you purchase as soon as they drop, they’re easy to get. The subscription allows you to preorder but even the preorder can sellout, so it’s not a guarantee.
Yeah I love the 3 I have (1 is still fresh and it will replace my red when that tama splits in half) been playing the same red sollab for a long time now and probably been through 7 kens maybe 8. Since I really only play the sol 1up/2up its a very consistent setup without "wasting" time to break in a new tama Highly recommend sulabs to people who really just value consistency in paint no matter the weather. At the same time these new matte clears feel amazing just not nearly as durable and consistent between batches
crush bev has definitely fixed the bevel issues, but if you want the two tamas you have to be better at stalls i highly recommend lightly grinding the bevels on some smooth concrete (very lightly) to expose the bare wood. should only be a thin ring of exposed wood, otherwise ya over did it
I was able to get the purple evolve clear without any membership. Ordered two on Maple and just had to use PayPal for being overseas. The maple bevel is breaking in pretty darn well, I think beach should be slightly preferable. They also were 95 g. tamas so a bit heavy but really slap stalls.

I may be lucky… I traded a jet shape kendama for a 2up and the exact su lab you have (blue, green, white)
Just got my first FC yesterday. It’s been surpassing my expectations. Grain on the ash is awesome too!
Sulab my fav clear

These other companies need to get in on the friction clear type paints soon fr.

Public drops easy money to snag now they make way more tamas than they used to
Also you dont need a membership the membership is for pre orders then they drop on the site you just gotta be fast
FIRST
Those tamas that you have are 62mm. Sulab hasn’t dropped 60 or 61 mm tamas in a while.
You don’t need the membership to buy FC tamas.
