YMI 3/4'' Bamboo Go Set Reversible Board Yunzi Stones,
Comments & ReviewsGreat, but not perfect - Written by Kubrick
![]() I got this set on Sep, ‘06. I have to say I am very pleased with this set. I was worried that the board will be too dark but it was beautiful. It is not something I would put in my backpack and bring it to school, but it is something I would bring to the park. The board has one problem, the lines has some imperfections from the striaghtedge they used. It’s not noticible at first but when I look at it, it just bothers me. The stones and the bowls are great too, although there are some slight imperfections with the stones, one of the stones has a little flat end but it is still useable. This board my not be perfect, but it is a great starter set. If you want to but your first board, I’ll recommend this. About the Board.... - Written by RedBeard
![]() I purchased the Bamboo board separately to use with a set of marble stones, so my comments pertain to the board alone. Great Set, Highly recommended - Written by wmcguire93
![]() I will begin by rating the individual characteristics: Durability = 5 (So far I have not seen any signs of warping in my board, and to hear Iceman talk, it even holds it’s own against school kids) Portability = 5 (the only full size board that would be more portable would be a rollup design.) Price = 4.5 (It is the cheapest dual sided board of its size that I have personally found.) Quality = 4 (I too have seen imperfections in the lines, but it requires looking close to see them.) Visual Appeal = 4 (This characteristics is too subjective to give a lot of merit. Some people like dark boards some like light boards. There is a unique grain in the bamboo that some might find distracting, it personally does not bother me) Acoustical Properties = 2 (Acoustic? It has no Acoustics. The stone are met with a dull thwack sound that cannot hold a candle to the sound Kaya makes) The above is a down and dirty evaluation of the different characteristics of the board. One must as himself/herself what they are looking for in a board before properly evaluating the overall value. If you are either looking for a beginner board and do not want to spend a lot of money or are looking for a sturdy portable full size board you can take to clubs, or the Go Congress then I give this board a rating of 5 However, if you place value on traditional appearance and really enjoy the sound stones make on Kaya or if you already have a good portable board then the rating drops to the 4 range.
