Greys Begleri

Greys Begleri

The Greys are a small, nimble, technical begleri design, developed by Ilya @slingthe0ry Indrulinas—begleri legend and founding member of the AO2 Crew. The bead is reversible and very comfortable during play. Oriented with the cone shape in, they disappear comfortably between the fingers during play, and carry momentum extremely well. Oriented with the cone out, they have a slightly more substantial feel, with more of a shelf for manipulation, and nimbler action due to the top heavy weighting. 

Please note that, while this design is beloved by intermediate and expert players, it was not designed as a beginners’ model. Your mileage may vary, but new players may probably be happier with a slightly larger design with a more traditional barrel shape.

Titanium Mini Greys (2025): When the Greys were first introduced, we offered a somewhat larger titanium version, and a smaller "mini" version in heavier metals. As player preferences have evolved over time, there has been growing demand for lighter and smaller sets of beads. It seems only fitting that the Greys, such an innovative design from the beginning, come back to the vanguard of this movement. After months, possibly years of deliberation and community pressure, we are excited to introduce our lightest ever single bead begleri setup--coming in at around 11g all in with cord. They are available in a classic machine finish, or sandblasted. The titanium Mini Greys will challenge you with their light weight, while also providing you with something that feels familiar.
