Is that the angle between the tip of the tip and the flat stadium floor? What's the angle for D? It doesn't specify. What's precession?
How do the different angles affect balance in different circumstances?

What is actually important is for there to be enough weight, not too much, but for it to be distributed on the circumference of the Wheel. As such, if you add a Metal Face, you are not really walking toward that goal.
How much weight is enough weight and not too much? Where on the circumference of the wheel does the weight have to be distributed? Does it need to be lightest in the center, and heavier around the outside? Would a metal wheel with a longer circumference be better for stamina?
I just got two Revizers, and Revizer Revizer is soo heavy, it falls over like a rock and barely has any stamina… too much weight?

It could be anywhere between twenty and fifty, in my opinion.
Would cleaning the dust off the rubber cause it to wear out faster or slower? I'm thinking maybe the dust could act as a protective layer to the rubber tip...

You would have to get a first Beylauncher and use it until it breaks, to see if you need to correct anything in your launch or if you absolutely need an accessory to smoothen the impact of the handle whipping back.
I got my first beylauncher recently and the launch is pretty weak because I'm scared I'm gonna break it. I feel like if I pull it the way I do a ripcord, the string would snap out of the launcher. After I pull it, I slowly retract the string so it won't whip back. I know this isn't an effective way of launching, but I don't think I can afford to get another one if it breaks, so... how do I figure out the correct way of launching it without breaking it first to find out?
(Aug. 09, 2013 5:23 AM)Kai-V Wrote: There is no real way. Make sure to always attach your Beyblade to the prongs softly, but this is an inevitable issue due to how heavy combinations are now. Even back at the beginning of Metal Fight Beyblade, when Beyblades used to weigh less than fifty grams, this was a problem that could not really be avoided.
Do the prongs break from putting the beyblades on too hard, or is it the process of launching that causes the breakage?

How do you change the prongs? You mean the Phantom wheel from Phantom Orion? Why that wheel? Why is D better for Zero-g?... why is WD the best stamina tip in most situations?

Generally, the higher the Track, the smaller diameter tip you need. SD is a decent choice no matter what the height, though.
Why a smaller diameter tip for taller tracks and larger diameter for shorter tracks?
Is it safe to assume D has the smallest diameter, and then SD, then PD, then WD has the biggest diameter?
Why PD for 160-170 tracks?

Then, there's a big heavy metal ring on the outside. This makes it have a very strong flywheel effect which keeps it spinning for a long time. It's also why AD145 and Cancer are good for stamina; they are distributed outwards more than other Tracks or CWs.
That's very cool. Then is the reason the WD tip is best for stamina because it has a wider diameter so more weight is distributed on the outside?
What's the Cancer CW like and how is it more distributed outwards? Are the Cygnus and Hades clear wheels also more distributed outwards? What would be differences between Cancer, Cygnus, and Hades for uses in stamina?
First question, how do I clean an F230?
And, which chrome wheel other than Girago, or Balro works well with Wyvang? Gryph?

Take it apart and wash it with water, that temporarily fixes the brown one.

Of course it is the angle that separates the tip from being flat out on the stadium floor.
Ah, I had measured D previously for someone and thought I had added it on Beywiki already, but it is 35°.
Precession is when a Beyblade starts wobbling, at the end of its spin. It is the amount and the time it can wobble.
Hm, have you never tried using an S Bottom on a Beyblade and comparing it to a D-based Bottom ? Even F-based tips do not get out of balance as easily as S.

Even if I told you a number for the weight, it would mean nothing ... It also entirely depends on the shape of the Metal Wheel, because you could have a spiky plastic Attack Ring weighing a lot on the edges, but that would not be decent for Stamina ...
Anywhere on the circumference ... And yes, that is what circumference means.
Not really, because a huge Metal Wheel would be disproportionate when compared to Tracks and Bottoms it can have, and it would easily scrape. If the Metal Wheel is too huge, that would make it fall way off balance if it got knocked.
Yes, too much weight, notably.

But you would get horrible performances, which I think would make you try launching it more often to see if it improves ...

Yes, it breaks easier than the BeyLauncher.

Just hold the handle loosely with two fingers, and then rip it out, and once the string is completely out, simply let go without holding the handle all the way back inside the BeyLauncher.
I have this restrain problem as well, which is why I use my left hand to launch. The psychological restriction is on my right hand since I am right-handed, but reasonably I have never had to place this sort of "protection" onto my other hand.

It is not safe at all to assume that, thanks to Beywiki ...

http://wiki.worldbeyblade.org/index.php/...SF#Gallery
You can often see if the weight is well distributed all on the circumference just by looking at the Clear Wheel.
Cygnus is not too bad either, and Hades also seems to have potential, but I do not think people have tried it a lot.
Usually you can simply alternate between Stamina Clear Wheels without there being too many differences.
What is the best way to control GF? Or is it just practice?
(Aug. 13, 2013 8:05 PM)H3LLO Wrote: What is the best way to control GF? Or is it just practice?
In what stadium; Zero-G or MFB ?
You just deep bank it in the MFB, from experience. It will generally smash into the wall really hard and force itself to form the flower pattern. But if you want a different launch: ie. tornado stall, launch it straight if it's well balanced, otherwise don't launch at full capacity.
Does GF wobble at the end of battle or is it too wide to wobble?

I have seen GCF do that and I can't imagine how drastic a difference it would be.
Hi guys ! Just asking for any suggestions for hasbro beystadium for attack types

This question should go in the "Purchase Consultation" thread next time
But in all honesty, Hasbro stadiums are biased against attack types
You'd definitely be better off using Stamina.Try to invest in a Takara Tomy/Sonokong BB-10, or for Hasbro the best would be the Thunder Whip stadium or Max Stampede (without craters)
Hope I helped
EDIT: Would ya look at that. My 1000th post
Edit: beaten By Dr. pepsidew 
But yeah, the Max Stampede without craters if probably the best Hasbro stadium.
If you mean attack combos in Hasbro stadiums, look in this thread

I dont know if this question is for this certain page but i will finally get my 1st takara tomy beyblades. All of my beys and gear are hasbro. So this is going to be new for me. So what beyblade/pack should i get? I was think of getting the ultimate dx set that comes with duo Uranus, wing Pegasus, and l-drago guardian. So is it worth buying/investing my money on?

Absolutely, Duo is a crucial 4D Metal Wheel to own at this point. However, that question belongs in our Purchase Consultation topic, which is in the Bey Marketplace forum.

This is basically correct, but "Sniping" is more commonly known as "Gattyaki": http://wiki.worldbeyblade.org/index.php/Gattyaki

Yeah, I know gattyaki, I was just wondering what sniping was, since I read a post from 2011 I believe where Deikailo said no one in the US could snipe.
Is it illegal to superglue my rubber tips? I find even with the bar in the middle they still wobble, and it's affected my RF and RDF's performance. Will post pics if anyone wants
Yes, applying any foreign substance is illegal.

Alright, duo hasbro version is way too light to be competitive, yes I mean the phantom from phantom orion. It's much more solid and circular, lending to more LAD. To replace the prongs on a beylauncher, take one of your hasbro launchers and unscrew the screw in the middle. Take the prongs and the piece under it and do the same for your beylauncher. Now take the hasbro prongs and align the plastic piece and prongs on the slot for them. Screw in. Ta da! Prongs replaced!
Has Hasbro released a Shogun Steel version of Bandid Genbull?
