Go Bowls and Stones Carrying Bag

Overall Rating: 8 / 10 Ponnuki

Important Notice

This review is based on the bag that I received two years ago. Since then, YMImports has upgraded the carrying bag to also include bowl straps as well. With that new feature, the bag’s review would escalate to a 9 or 10 Ponnuki status.

Highlights

• Best carrying bag for go stones and bowls that I’ve seen on the market.
• The bag is made of durable material that hasn’t shown signs of ripping.
• The handles are a little more fragile, so be a little more careful relying on those.

Product Details

• Travel vinyl bag with two handles and a single zipper for the top.
• Fits standard Go bowls up to 5’’ wide and 4’’ high

Shin-Kaya - 1-1/2” (4 cm) Go Floor / Table Board

Overall Rating: 10 / 10 Ponnuki

Highlights

• Legs are removable, which allows the board to function as both a floor and table board.
• The floor height is not nearly as high as the standard floor board, but it is pretty good for the price and quality of the board.
• This is a good board that is more suited for staying at the house and not quite suitable for bringing to a coffee shop to review a pro game.
• Stones that measure 9.2mm (Size 33) fit comfortably on the board. Any size larger maybe a bit of a squeeze.

Product Details

• One 2-3/8” (6cm) thick Tibet Spruce (Shin-Kaya) wood board [including feet].
• Made of 2-4 solid pieces of wood joined together to prevent warping over time.
• Measures 18-1/4”L x 17”W x 3-3/4”H (46.5cm x 43cm x 9.7cm)
• Board is 1-1/2” (4cm) thick.
