Everyman Bronze Begleri
Everyman Bronze Begleri
Everyman - Bronze
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, and now, Bronze. All 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).
Everyman Bronze Details:
- Bronze..
- Fairly soft.. will ding and scratch (harder than copper but softer than steel and titanium)
- Natural patina will darken over time, slightly quicker and darker than brass
- Smells somewhat metallic
- Set up for 550 paracord, unlike the other Everyman heavy metal models
- Slightly downsized from the original Everyman design (16mm diameter by 16mm overall height) .. See comparison photo with regular brass Everyman
- Unlike other compatible sets, the bronze version not include any micro hydra beads.
- Compatible with the Hardcore Gut System (NOTE that the recess is roughly 1mm less deep than other compatible beads, meaning that certain hardcore beads will protrude slightly from the recess)
- Weight per bead:
- Single Bronze Everyman bead: 13.9g
