Starting Begleri?

Im getting into begleri a little recently too. From my beginners point of view, I think weight is a big factor in choosing a begleri set.

I have ape grapes and a couple cheaper sets (one monkey fist style and one thats just really light aluminum). I think the Ape Grapes have the best feel in the hand, but I’m finding it easier to learn the motions with the lighter sets. I’ve been smacking my knuckles repeatedly while learning, so something on the lighter side is less discouraging for me.
