Kendama š¤ Fingerboard
We are stoked to work with Slushcult to create these custom Groms! This isn't your average Tech Deck, these are entry level pro fingerboard setups with real wood decks, metal trucks, and polyurethane wheels. Just like the Starter is the best first kendama, the Grom is the best place to start your fingerboard journey.Ā
The art on this deck was designed by Diego Bergandini. We met Diego at EKC and liked his art style so much that Sweets & Cody both got tattoos from him at the event! See more of Diego's art and give him a follow at instagram.com/diego.bergandini

From Slushcult:
This is the perfect entry point into the world of fingerboarding. Something that will help a beginner learn the correct techniques without spending a ton of money, yet still absolutely shred for someone who is more advanced. Every graphic is limited edition, so collecting them will be just as rad as skating them!Ā Ā Ā
Our goal was to produce a fingerboard of pro level quality but at a mass production price. Luckily, we were able to find a factory who was willing to listen and work with us to make something we are very proud of. The Grom Series features a medium concave and medium kick on a twin tail popsicle shape. The graphics are printed using a new UV printing method that will wear away similar to a screen-printed deck over time. They come pre-assembled in the box and still allow the customer to get creative by doing their own grip job with the two sheets provided. Each complete is set up with single axle metal trucks and CNCĀ polyurethaneĀ wheels with bearings. Ultimately, this is a way to proudly join our community.

Sticky Clear:
Sticky Clear is a glossy clear coat that is... well... sticky! it is the clear on most of our kendamas and offers a bunch of grip while still leaving room for adjustment.
Cushion Clear:
Created right here in the Sweets Lab. Cushion Clear is our premium pain that we spray on tamas in Minneapolis. Cush gives a matte look and a lot of grip. It feels almost rubber like to the touch and is made to help you lock in tricks.Ā
Anti-Skid:
(Also known as Antiskid Matte/Rubber 2.0)
This is a new matte clear that is different than the Silk/Rubber of the past. It still offers a good grip but with a lot more room for adjustment with tricks. So far the durability of this clear has been next level. After testing for a while we are stoked to add this new clear to our line up for the first time!
Natty:
Natty or Natural means the wood is exposed without paint or a clear coat. This tends to be more slick at first but with time and sweat a natty tama can break in to have a lot of grip.
The "shape" of. a kendama generally refers to the specs of the ken or handle. There are a variety of ken shapes and as the game of kendama continues. to progress shapes and styles change to meet new needs for play. Certain ken shapes help make learning or landing certain tricks easier, but for the most part ken choice comes down to player preference.
BROKEN:
Our newest shape as of 2025. Designed by Pro player Josh Kim to help unlock the next generation of kendama play. Everything is a little bit larger and more honed in for high level play or just learning the basics.
LEGEND:
Designed by Matt "Sweets" Jorgenson. Matt wanted a ken that was a bit beefier and had better lunar balance than the Amped and help create the Legend Shape or LS
AMPED:
The Amped took the BOOST to the next level with even larger cups and more pronounced stalls. The Amped and BOOST are both excellent starting places for any new player.
BOOST:
Designed by Legend Christian Fraser. The Prime was our first major step away from a traditional kendama shape and the BOOST took that to new levels. With oversized or 'boost'ed cups and features it is still a great all-around shape for players of any skill level.
