I’m asking $150 for the lot or $100 for ohia $50 for delrin I had to ask Matt if he could throw me two orange instead of the orange and purple combo these are in very very good condition not used much

Trick Options
So I'm sure these are moves that have been done before, but I've sort of stumbled upon them by accident myself. Is there anything these can be continued into or any tricks that involve them. I can't do anything with the first one but it feels like it could go into something if anyone knew how. The second one all I can do with it is what I exited it with in the clip. If anyone knows what these 2 moves are called and if they have any cool options to get out of pls let me know, thanks!

Adding some weight to Aroundsquare Mini Standard
Just got myself a Aroundsquare Mini Standard and was wondering if anyone owns one and has made purchases of “guts” to add some more weight.
The descriptions on the website aren’t consistent so I had a little confusion. Figured I’d ask the community before I sent them an email.

My go-to fidget combos
These are my go-to fidget combos:
starting in low grip > whirl up > > thumb rebound > backhand or double roll back down to low grip then repeat.
Starting in mid-grip Anti-spring > uncoil back to mid-grip and do a half whirl > thumb rebound and half-cab to mid-grip then repeat
Also, not quite sure if I’m calling out the right tricks, so if my written out tricks are different than what I do, I apologize.
What are yours?

Beginner help with rolls
Been trying to learn the index one finger roll but I find that when I do end up catching the end of the begleri I will often end up holding it about an inch from the actual bead. It kinda stops me in my tracks because sometimes the momentum will slide the bead up to my fingers so I can keep going or it will just stop because the swinging side ends up too short.
Another issue i've found is that I'll usually catch it between the webbing and first knuckle of my finger which prevents me from doing anything else except transferring back to top grip.
I realise the answer is probably just practice but I was wondering if anyone had any tips to share

Bead Roll Help
Am I doing bead rolls correctly? I had practiced them when I was first learning with what I think wasn't proper form, and have relearned them like this. I only have like a 15-20% success rate on the bead roll up (as seen by the fumble at the end) so I've only got one in this clip. I can do them down pretty consistently but both ways they still feel a bit crude. Any critiques on my form and technique from the advanced slingers in the sub? Thanks!

Hey there, I've improved the Cherries and you can get them on Etsy.
Now they're ~11.5g per bead 😁

Favorite repeater?
What’s your favorite repeater? Mine two favorite would be :
starting in low grip > whirl up > > thumb rebound > backhand or double roll back down to low grip then repeat.
Starting in mid-grip Anti-spring > uncoil back to mid-grip and do a half whirl > thumb rebound and half-cab to mid-grip then repeat

New combo after 6 month break
Took a long break of 6 months from begleri but ended up getting back into the hobby recently and decided to revisit my old go-to combo and update it with 2 new tricks I learned!
Would love to know your guys’s favorite combos!

Check the Begleri Wiki in the Sidebar
#Hello everyone, this is a reminder to check the sidebar for a handful of Begleri resources.
--*-
Some of you may have noticed over time the Begleri-Tricks website gets slower, this is a reminder that the Sidebar has a link to the Subreddit Wiki with some useful information that can help many slingers, new or old.
Highlights would be:
We also have commands for an Automod respond to comments, for example, type $BuyAndSell below in the comments.

Is doing the tricks actually complicated or is it really easy but LOOKS complicated?
Another question, are marbles good to use. Are they gonna break and shatter everywhere or will they be ok and are they much different from metal ball bearings?

How do I get a luck sack from Aroundsquare?
I haven’t purchased anything from Ao2 because everything is a bit above my price range. However, I do love begleri, Komboloi and I’m interested in chetki and kbones so I think it’s worth it to try and buy a luck sack. I just don’t know when and how I purchase them?
00:26 UTC
Should I get a chetki?
I have a couple begleris and just recently got a komboloi. I’m looking for something to mindlessly fidget with. I feel like I have to focus on begleri and too early to tell if I like komboloi, but it seems to have potential for what I want.
My question is, should I try chetkis? Are they more like begleri or kboi? Can you mindlessly fidget with it while in the car or in a professional setting? Lastly, I also play with my balisong a lot and heard that chetkis play similar to those but I’m wondering if that’s true?

2 weeks into this hobby and I made 13 sets by myself already
Compared to what I see here on the sub in terms of movement nd tricks, I feel like I am still super new to the hobby but I have just as much fun in making them as playing with them. So far every single one with nuts, but I like it a lot.

After 40 days of absolute addiction…
This is what I got so far, this is my most “advanced” combo. I’m still working on it, I don’t pull it off every time and it’s not super smooth.
What should I learn next! Please give me suggestions!

Is it just me or are these two destined for each other?

Repeaters and Hypes
My favorite repeater combo (and then some) with my new hypes. They've grown on me more and are now probably my favorite bead set!

What is this transition?
How can I learn this, it looks really cool to transition to low grip! I found it in a tutorial for another trick but they don’t talk about this part.

Look at my rolls
So the only way I can get my rolls to finish with the bead flush to my fingers is with that last little extra orbit. The rolls I see everyone else doing finish before that but they get the bead to end flush. When I do that version I’m in the middle of the cord. How do I solve this?

New sets came in
New sets I've been itching to get came in. They all feel better than I expected them to. Super pumped to sling this some more!
