Welcome David Gravette to the Sweets Mob!
David Gravette is a professional skateboarder and avid fisherman. This Signature Model obviously takes more inspiration from one on those things than the other. We are so excited to have David on the Mob. He brings excellent energy to everything he does and we are stoked that kendama has truly become part of his life.
"Didn't think I could get the same feeling of joy and accomplishment I get from skating without putting my body on the line, but adding a new kendama trick to my bag gets me fired up!"

:WEIGHT MATCH GUARANTEE:
You have been asking for years and we are excited to finally announce a Weight Match Guarantee on select new kendama drops! This means that every setup sold with this guarantee will have a tama and a ken that weigh within 7 grams of each other. We cannot promise specific weights, but we can make sure that the kendamas we sell are even more honed than ever before!
:THE BOOST SHAPE:
The BOOST is made to slap tricks right out of the box. Compared to older or more traditional shapes; the cups are larger, the stalls more pronounced, and there is a balance bevel in the bottom cup to help hit lunars with ease.
BOOST tamas are also slightly larger to help improve play and match the bigger cups.
A portion of every sale goes directly to David.

SWEETS KENDAMAS
Sweets Kendamas is the brainchild of Matt “Sweets” Jorgenson. Yes he is a person, and a unique one. He loves all skill related challenges, and broke his back doing a backflip on a snowboard requiring him to focus on hobbies with less risk of a repeat injury. His parents were both entrepenuers, and he knew he wanted to find something he was passionate about and start his own business. Sweets found Kendama, fell in love, and began a mission to make them more accessible outside of Japan. Graduating with a communications major from the University of Minnesota, he found others who loved Kendama on Youtube and asked if his new company could sponsor them. He also found friends to work for Pizza and Beer to help grow the company with sweat and creativity, wanting to make designs that had never been done before. Sweets has never allowed Sweets Kendamas to release a product that he wouldn’t use himself, taking a player-centric approach when it comes to our design, function, and quality.Aucklander's Same Day Delivery
