These updated raw CNC Altari 2 kens are so sick, they grip great and are stall magnets!
These have sharper edges and rougher surfaces, but for the areas you'd like smooth comes with some sandpaper! But honestly even without sandpaper they break in so good and have insane grip on stall points. These Kens lunar like an astronaut and can hook. The Altari 2 shape is are tall (167mm tall) Kens with big cups.
ALTARI 2 We took everything we loved about the Altari 1 and dialed that bad boy in.
This shape has some giant soup-drinking cups and all the Lunar honedness that comes with that. This thing isn't feeling too huge either, it has a great hand feel with the curve in the handle.
That deep burned black band around the handle is primarily a grip, that inverse burn lets those letters pop out and adds the right about of additional grip and allows the rest of the ken to be as smooth and premium feeling.
The biggest upgrade is our new Sarado (those connected cups) where it allows the tama to slap 4 points at once. It SOUNDS great to play and it plays awesomely to have that additional contact. Your J-Stick stuff will feel amazing.
-The cups stall points are locked in too. I mean birds just want to be up on that cup.
-The spike is 1 or so mm taller but it's the new tip that makes it better. -Extra deep hole in the base cup really balances everything out without feeling too 'hollow'
Overall we are stupid stoked on this new shape and so far we've heard great feedback, can't wait to know what you think!
