It’s the only thing I want to practice. “S ..read more

Without further ado, let’s talk about Zach Magnuson’s Pro Model  #MAGSMOD. I’d like to frame my article around “what makes a pro model” – because the first impression I get when opening the box and feeling the kendama is that THIS IS A PRO MODEL.
