Deadeye Hollows - Acrylic Edition
Deadeye Hollows - Acrylic Edition
The Deadeye Hollows are a progressive adaptation of our Deadeye contact coins, consisting of a rounded ring of material, which allows the coins to be manipulated in different ways. The acrylic version of the Hollows is very light at 4.4g, and has good grip (much like our acrylic "ice" bones), and although this makes it hard to perform some of the standard Deadeye moves like isolations and knuckle rolls, the acrylic edition is extremely well suited to slow play that makes use of the round contour of the Hollow shape. These are not recommended as the generalist version of a contact coin, but for those wanting to work on some new tricks, or just want a funked up version for pocket carry, the acrylic Hollows will be available in two beautiful variants, a white swirl and a yellow swirl.
General Info on the Deadeye Hollows
The Deadeye Hollows, are a variation on the theme of contact coins--coins designed for contact style manipulation. The Hollows bridge the basic idea behind the Deadeyes with new possibilities related to ring manipulation, by opening up the center and creating a rounded perimeter ring. The dimensions of the Hollows are the same as the original (large) Deadeyes, in both thickness and outer diameter.
The Hollows can be manipulated in roughly the same manner as the original Deadeyes, but the techniques require some adaptation to the new shape. Players may find some of their moves easier to perform with the Hollows, while other moves may be difficult or impossible with the centre void. This new shape, however, affords some new opportunities for different types of moves that cannot be performed with the original Deadeyes.
Details:
- Material: acrylic
- Dimensions: 37mm exterior diameter (the same as the original large Deadeyes)
- Weight: 4.35g
General Information On the Deadeye Coins
Aroundsquare’s Deadeyes are part skill toy, part worry stone, part mind control device. Roll them between your fingers, or press use your thumb into the smooth contour and breath deep to dissolve the stresses of daily life.
These contact coins are designed to be handled and manipulated. On the surface, the Deadeyes look like just a refined worry stone made from metal, and they certainly serve well for that. They are precisely crafted and beautifully finished, with an ergonomic indent on either side that is perfect for thumbs of any size. But as you’d expect from AO2, there’s more to it than that. The concave shape and resulting ridge around the perimeter make the Deadeyes perfect for contact-style manipulation. With practice, they can be made to roll fluidly between the fingers, or back and forth over the thumbs, and isolations can be performed where the coins appear to be floating around the fingertips.
All Deadeyes are packaged in a box, and ship with Aroundsquare stickers.
