When I get a storm pegasis ill be too terrified to play with it...

They look just awesome when theyre brand new.

josh-jf · Apr 26 2009 03:09 AM

it wont look ugly if you use it a few times.

**Raykon** · Apr 26 2009 05:02 AM

Gah, I'm really in a battaling beyblade mood, If only I had this mood when I was at the tournament Pinching_grin

josh-jf · Apr 26 2009 05:20 AM

lol oh so you werent psyched up at the tournament is that it lol if you want you can come to mine and beyblade.

I finally figured out how to use the Beylauncher. its pretty powerful, somewhat near my usual strength. But I still get terrible accuracy rates now. Especially for banking. Also I still think the normal launchers have more potential though.

**Raykon** · Apr 26 2009 10:36 AM

Does the string feel like it could snap on you whilst you launch? I have always thought about this but never got to ask it.

Werkbau · Apr 26 2009 10:44 AM

hmm, The string itself is thick, strongly woven. the only thing I worried about is the portion where the string is connected... as I can't see what's inside, I don't know until it snapped Tongue_out

and oh, it hurts my hand a lot >_> one should use a glove, because when the string returns back, it whipped my left thumb real good Confused

my fingers also hurt a bit when releasing the string.

josh-jf · Apr 26 2009 10:46 AM

so which launcher would you rather use?

Werkbau · Apr 26 2009 10:51 AM

depends I guess. for attack blades I prefer normal ones than this, I can't imagine how to do sliding shoot with Beylaunchers. I might use them for balance / defense blades though. also, they are pretty compact without any ripcord Grin

Neeek · Apr 26 2009 10:53 AM

I have the same problem with string shooters, I find it difficult to do banking and the sliding shoot also. I think the length of string and how loose it feels stops me from doing the sliding shoot.

Then don't let go...?

Werkbau · Apr 26 2009 01:58 PM

If I don't let it go, the spin power will be reduced drastically. That's the part of the secret for having a decent power Tongue_out

.

Normally when you shoot using a normal shooter, a small peg will stop the rotation immediately, resulting in Beyblade falling down from the launcher. But when using the beylauncher, there is no such peg, so in order create the 'stopping force' I need to create force that will make the launcher spin backwards. Same as the peg effect.

I just hold them at the sides, rather than gripping them. So when I pull the string hard and it stops, my fingers automatically let it go. Smile

*Khel* · Apr 26 2009 02:18 PM

yeah the best way to reduce the smacking is to use a grip. There is nothing else to reduce it

Banking is pretty easy to do, just make sure it is parallel to the slopes of the stadium and pull.

Werkbau · Apr 26 2009 02:19 PM

Actually Khel, I use a grip Pinching_grin

*Aqua* · Apr 26 2009 02:30 PM

I'm very curious to see how well this combo will work:

Metal Face + L Drago 100RF
Concept => Smash Attack

L Drago will now weigh 36 - 37g with the the Metal Face.

finally someone thatt agrees with me ! Grin

I just cant see how a string style launcher can possibly be stronger and more pwerful, and deliver more rpm's campared to a ripchord thru gears, altho i havnt tried the bey launcher yet so im keeping an open mind

Like you said you have never used it so obviously you wouldn't know Wink

The regular launcher only gets 4.5 rotations per pull. The Beylauncher has a maximum of 7.5 (more like 6.5-7 on an average pull). With a proper pull it will get more power. The problem with the beylauncher is getting the technique down. It needs practice to be consistent.

The Shredder · Apr 26 2009 05:17 PM

yeh, but like i sed, ive got an open mind, beyblades have proved me wrong before and no doupt they can do it again, and yeh the comparison video shows that it's stronger, so im leaning towards it
