‌Candy Dice Poppin' Ball

‌Candy Dice Poppin' Ball

A round counterweight with special "bouncing" characteristics.

Don't underestimate it as just a plain round counterweight. The Poppin' Ball is a Candy Dice that "can be played with bouncing techniques."

The body is made of a rubber-like plastic material. You might wonder, "Can plastic bounce?" but it was made possible by adopting a new material with elasticity and bounce power similar to a basketball.

Please refer to the video below for how to play.

In the early 2000s, some counterweight players used homemade weights made by drilling holes in super balls. This opened up bouncing play, made possible by utilizing the bounce of super balls.

This product underwent many prototypes and verifications by two people who conquered the world with homemade super balls: 2001 World Champion Shingo "Terry" Terada and 2004 World Champion Makoto Numagami.

It's great for normal counterweight play due to its good balance, or you can challenge yourself with nostalgic yet new play style.

The realization of a bouncing Candy Dice that had previously only been discussed as "it would be interesting if it existed." We hope many people will enjoy playing with it.

*It is made of plastic material with elasticity. Bouncing play is possible, but since it is plastic, it does not have as much elasticity as a super ball.

How to Use

Precautions

• This is a plastic product. Never put it in your mouth or eat it.

• There are layer lines on the surface of the weight, but this is part of the product specification.

• There may be slight stringing (whisker-like features), support marks, or processing marks on the surface that do not affect usage. If these bother you, please remove them with nippers or similar tools.

• All finishing is done by hand. There may be slight variations between individual products.

• There is a possibility of damage if played vigorously and collided with yo-yos or other items, or if dropped on hard floor surfaces such as concrete. Please handle with care.
