General Information on the Modern Standards

Aroundsquare's "Standards" begleri series is our homage to the ubiquitous “standard issue” Greek barrel shaped begleri. This series is a contemporary adaptation of the original timeless design, with a slightly refined shape, precision machined and polished to perfection. They feature the same 1:1 aspect ratio favoured by most players, and a compact form factor that is small enough to slip easily past the string instead of binding, and sufficiently rounded for comfortable play. The right angles in the design provide excellent bead control without compromising on nimbleness. 

The Modern Standard sets is sized at 16mm tall by 16mm wide, giving them the same overall size as two of our Hydra beads stacked together. They are Hardcore Compatible, and are designed for use with 550 paracord. The titanium Modern Standards whip with a pair of titanium End Caps. The natty version ships with in the nightfall colour way end caps (one sunset, one shinobi), and the shinobi version ships with "oil slick" end caps (black with a slight multicolour sheen). The Modern Standard beads themselves are laser etched with the aroundsquare word mark, adding a touch of class and underscoring their authenticity.
