    Kendaman are usually made of a turned wooden stick with a pointed point at one end, three cups and a ball with a small hole in it. The cups on either side of the stick are called the big cup and the small cup. The ball is connected to the stick by a string about 40 centimeters long. At the end of the stick is a point with which the player must try to spike the ball. At the other end of the stick is a cup called the base cup.<\/p>\n

    The game basically involves throwing the ball and trying to catch it in one of the cups or poke it with the tip of the stick. While it may sound simple, there are an almost unlimited number of specific techniques for this.<\/p>\n
