2018 Titan AL Sport (Aluminum) Begleri
2018 Titan AL Sport (Aluminum) Begleri
Aroundsquare’s Titans are probably one of the best known begleri designs in the game. The Titans were AO2’s first large scale solo release, and they remain at the core of the lineup. Like all Titans, the AL Sports are dome topped, with a rounded bottom, and a straight, knurled barrel for excellent control and extremely smooth play. The 2018 Titans have been updated with a 3.5mm “Goldilocks” bore, suitable for both 275 and 550 paracord, and an updated colour range. They are 20mm by 20mm, and weigh about 13g per bead, making them slightly larger, and considerably lighter than the titanium version.
The Titan AL Sport begleri from Aroundsquare are precision machined from aluminum, and are anodized and polished to provide a smooth finish with a little bit of extra durability. However, please note that aluminum is a soft metal, and the surface of these will get dinged and scratched over time. This aging process gives them a great texture which helps with grip and bead control, and eliminates the need for machined knurling.
They come with a couple extra strings, a couple stickers, an info card, and a canvas carry bag. Stickers, bag, and cord colours may not be as shown, since these change with availability.
The Titan design is the result of months of development, multiple prototypes, and hundreds of hours of play testing with feedback from players all around the world. As part of our commitment to help grow and develop the begleri community, we have priced them to be accessible, and the AL Sport series in particular is intended as an economical option for those just getting into begleri, for those on tight budgets, and for those who want to make sure they have a spare set or two always available.
These are high performing begleri, suitable for any skill level up to and including advanced technical tricks. The lighter weight of the aluminum beads (compared to the titanium version) gives them slightly less stability for tricks that involve a lot of momentum, but this weight also results in faster and easier play. They are super smooth, and they are big enough to show up well when filming tricks (and impressing your friends).
