George has been on the team for years, and we are so glad to finally offer him his own Pro Mod. He is constantly pushing kendama forward with unique tricks, amazing videos, and spreading kendama wherever he goes. "Becoming Pro and designing my own kendama for the company I’ve loved ever since day one is quite literally a dream come true. The overall inspiration for the kendama is simply drawn from the aesthetics that I’m into at the moment. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to do something super colorful and funky. Almost all of the colors of the tama are pulled straight from a pair of Vans that I rocked all summer. The yellow is also an ode to the yellow Ozora, one of my all time favorite kendamas back in the day. On the ken, the six wavy lines represent the 6 years it took me to get to this point. The subtle camera and airplane engravings show my love for videography and travel which have become a huge part of my life through kendama. SWKT stands for Southwest Kendama Team, a group of friends I was introduced to kendama with and filmed, traveled, and worked with all through highschool. They are the reason I still play so I had to make sure to shout them out. My full name is George Elias Marshall, that’s where “GEM” comes from and the background of the seal is an ode to my first kendama, a Sweets marble Aisuru." - George Marshall Features Maple George Marshall Ken BOOST Shape - No Balance Bevel Custom engravings on ken Unique QR in base cup Wavy line pattern on Spike Airplane under small cup Camera under big cup SWKT on handle stall GEM seal Oversized Cherry Tama Sticky Clear or Cushion Clear Unique wavy design Metal Spinner Bead Extra String Unique sticker pack :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!
