Named after the Greek titan Hyperion, the Hypes are a high performance bead design developed by longtime community member Jeremy Beintema.
The design features an ergonomic curvature which is excellent for advanced tricks like bead rolls, combined with a low centre of gravity that carries great momentum without feeling "heavy". The slightly elongated shape provides great control, making the design suitable for players of all skill levels. The Hypes are available in either a regular sandbasted or shinobi black variant coloured with a durable cerakote finish.
