I understood what you meant by thongs, and Hasbro launchers are much more durable than TT's.
Is it possible to swap the prong parts from hasbro launchers onto takara launchers? I take it it's legal as it was fine in the plastic generation (the other way round).
Also, am I the only one who is a bit miffed at the fact hasbro launchers don't fit in TT's grip? I've shaved the conflicting bits off my hasbro launchers, I figure that's legal as it doesn't affect the launch or the bey itself, right?
EDIT: I'm pretty sure I was told it was legal to remove the Card Holder from a launcher, as it gets in the way of my long fingered guitarist hands pahah.

Really? can they also fit into the Launcher suspensions?
EDIT: Ok then i guess we'll have to do a little modifications to fit the suspension then, hmmm that would be illegal ofcourse

It will be advisable not to use illegal customs to any of the beys or launchers during play
LWS803, you're completely wrong, the String Launcher is by far more powerful than possible with a ripcord launcher. It's just a matter of learning to use it (not so hard), and learning to sliding shoot with it (A tad harder to co-ordinate, but yeah). With pretty much any beyblade (other than a pure defense type with WB), you want as much power on the launch as possible, therefore the Beylauncher is superior in practically every case.
That said, as I'm still learning to use the beylauncher, and as I only have one launcher suspension, I do use the light launchers for testing right now, but once I am more confident with a string launcher (practice makes perfect, if I can play guitar, I'll be damned if I can't pull a string slightly differently than I'm used to), that'll be what I'll use.

No, you are wrong.
Beylaunchers are better than light in every aspect.

I'd reccomend dropping the suspension, I've heard from numerous people that it decreases launch power.
On the topic of beylauncher:
Has Hasbro stopped selling it? I know they have that metal masters thing, but the first wave launchers have been terminated..? I can't find one anywhere.

Hmmm then in final conclusion i presume the string launcher is the upper class after all. More testing has to be done with the light launcher though.
No it doesn't we have had light launchers in all generations, while the beylauncher we have not. I think we know what the light launcher can do..
@Tyrakama: There's no risk to me or other players, so would I be banned from a WBO tournament for it?
Just to clarify also, because all I get is conflicting answers, considering I have a Beylauncher LR, is there ANY risk of the string snapping, considering that I've got quite a strong launching arm, and is there a risk of the handle snapping without the suspension?

Ok. Anyway is it really true that the Launcher suspension decreases power of launching? 0.o if so i will have to remove the launcher suspension immediately
There is always a risk, but I have never heard of a string snapping, no matter how hard it was pulled.
The suspension cushions the handle, which is meant to prevent snapping from happening, so neither outcome is likely.
Yes, in that too.
Light launchers are easily broken by mishooting.. :\

lws803, I believe the beywiki says any loss in launch strength with the suspension is debatable. Personally, as I have large-ish fingers, I find it much easier to use/grip, really.

You cant use illegal items during tournaments...

So i guess i'll have to do a little testing myself then, to see which suits me most. Hmmm by the way, is there any thread on Beylaunchers and light launchers in the forum? I think there's really some researching needed to be done on the amount of strength and durability and so on
To clarify Tyk's 'statement', You probably would be barred.
Edit: Beywiki, LWS803.

Mishooting is a mistake the user makes,so it is not about the design of the launcher
EDIT: Pointless question, in the rulebook, sorry guys, derp'd it.
I thought that the plastic beyblade launcher grip was actually called the custom grip?
Or maybe I heard wrong...

I guess I better give that a better read through, I'm sorry.
