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. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of the design relative to our other products, is the generous top bore, designed to accommodate 550 paracord.
The Modern Standard series is Hardcore Compatible, meaning that it is designed to accommodate the weighted beads of the “Hardcore Gut System” which enable players to customize the weight and feel of the set, for their optimal setup. While the Modern Standard series is available in a number of heavier metals that don’t really require these additional Hardcore beads, the aluminum version is light enough that most players will want to add weight.
Weight details:
Aluminum Modern Standard bead: 5g
Aluminum End Cap bead: 3.2g
Total weight per end: 8.2g
Optional add-on of bronze Micro Standards: 7.8g (for total weight per end of 12.8g)
The Aluminum Splash Modern Standards come in a gift box with a cloth carry bag, a fistful of stickers, and a couple of extra strings. Please note that items included in the package (strings, stickers, patches, bags etc.) vary in colour and quantity depending on availability, and may not be exactly as shown in the photos.
