Titans (Delrin)

From the AroundSquare website:

"The Titan Delrin beads are machined and are roughly the same size as the Titan AL Sport series. They are fully Hardcore Compatible.

The Titan bead design was our first big solo release, and quickly became a classic in the begleri community. The domed top slides between the fingers while avoiding any catch points on the string. The cylindrical barrels give control, and the rounded bottoms add to the comfort of the beads.

Delrin is a robust plastic material with very good impact resistance, hence its frequent use in things like knife handles and shop tools. It has a warm feel, and during play, it has a clack that sounds a little bit like wood. Although it is a plastic, it has metal like properties, and stubbornly resists cracking and chipping. It is, nonetheless a plastic, and it will scratch and dent in a manner similar to aluminum. One advantage of the material, however, is that the colour completely saturates the material, and therefore the colours are retained even after heavy wear."
