SpinGear Kendama Bearing String Set Micro Bearing Kendama String Set White + (NSK & - Standard)

This set includes one high-performance bearing and one string for kendama (Japanese cup-and-ball game). The bearing is a Japanese-made product from NSK Micro Precision, a company well-known for its yo-yo bearings and highly regarded by competitive players. Traditionally, a bead is used to secure the string on the ball side of a kendama, but in kendama competitions, it's common practice to replace the string-securing bead with a ball bearing. This prevents the string from twisting due to the ball's rotation, allowing players to concentrate on more advanced tricks. The bearing size is 5mm outer diameter / 1.5mm inner diameter / 2.6mm thickness. Among the various sizes available on the market for kendama, this is the most popular size because its larger outer diameter makes it less likely for the ball to get caught inside, and its smaller inner diameter reduces the chance of the string coming undone during play. Please choose your preferred type of string. The strings are cut to a length of 80cm or more, accommodating players who frequently use continuous taps and multi-rotation flips, providing an extra-long style that will satisfy even the most demanding players. With a standard setup, you'll almost certainly have excess length, so feel free to cut it with scissors. Every kendama player has probably experienced this: "The ken was spinning perfectly, but it got caught on the string in mid-air, causing the trick to fail." In competitions, one mistake can mean the difference between winning and losing. Advanced String is a string that has been researched to reduce the chances of the string getting caught on the ken in mid-air. The double-rotation airplane, a representative competition trick, and the high-difficulty continuous juggling and multi-stage flip tricks that symbolize the current kendama scene, all have a high risk of the string getting caught, and the key to development was how to reduce this risk. A string that is less likely to get caught, easy to control in mid-air, and does not twist even when performing continuous juggling—if such a string does not exist in the world, then we decided to make it ourselves, and now it is on sale. Please give it a try.
