2018 Delrin Everymans

NOTE: These are single shells, not sets, and not complete beads. They are designed to be used with our micro “hardcore” beads.

The 2018 Delrin Emans are identical to the previous version, but with an updated 3.5mm “Goldilocks” bore, that accommodates either 275 or 550 paracord. Note that older hardcore beads will not easily fit 550, but newer models (2018 Micro Hydras, Hercs, Ti/ AL End Caps etc.) will.

These are single Everyman Hardcore bead shells made from Delrin. They are listed individually to allow you to choose your own colours and build your own set. Please note that these are not standalone begleri beads. They weigh only around 3.1g each and require the Hardcore Gut System beads (sold separately) to give them sufficient weight to play well. The Everyman Delrin beads are precision machined to the same specs as the Everyman AL Hardcore beads, and are fully Hardcore Compatible. Each Delrin shell will be sent with one string.

Delrin is a robust plastic material with very good impact resistance, hence its frequent use in things like knife handles and shop tools. It has a warm feel, and during play, it has a pleasant clack that sounds a little bit like wood. Although it is a plastic, it has metal like properties, and stubbornly resists cracking and chipping. It is, nonetheless a plastic, and it will scratch and dent in a manner similar to aluminum. One advantage of the material, however, is that the colour completely saturates the material, and therefore the colours are retained even after heavy wear. 

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 even with their relatively lighter weight, the Everyman AL, Delrin, and Silicone beads nonetheless perform very well.
