Everyman Brass Begleri
Everyman Brass Begleri
Everyman - Brass with 4 Micro Hydras
General Info on the Everyman Design:
The Everyman series, is Aroundsquare's most refined begleri design to date. The design of the beads is simple, intentionally "average".. hence the Everyman name. It borrows some of the best elements of both the Titans and the Hydras, and integrates them in a fresh shape. It's bigger than one, and smaller than the other. It's nothing bizarre. It's just normal. It's average. It's the Everyman.
The Everyman bead design updates the shape of the conventional "Standard Issue" Greek begleri for modern technical begleri play. The sloping top of the beads helps prevent the string from jamming up during rolls, like the rounded tops of the Titans. Like the Hydras, it features straight angles which help with grip and bead control, as well as a compact size which makes the beads nimble during play. While the beads are relatively small, at 17mm by 17mm, they feel substantial in the hand due to the angles, and carry good weight.
The Everyman "Heavy Metal" Series:
The Everyman Heavy Metal series includes Copper, Brass, and Stainless Steel models. All three are Hardcore Compatible, meaning they have a sufficient internal space to house the beads of the Hardcore Gut System. This allows players to customize the weight of their setup. It is worth noting, however, that the Heavy Metal beads are all sufficiently heavy to play very well on their own (freeing up the four included Micro Hydras for other purposes).
