My second RF(oldest) is 1.5 year old and that is quite fast too. But, I haven't launched a new RF for almost 6 months now so.. Not really sure if both of them could have been faster. Also, there seems to be something wrong with my EWD. During the finals of the Mumbai event, it self-KOd twice on Gravity. It's just 2 weeks old and I dont use it frequently either but it gets so aggressive in battle that Gravity starts tornado stalling and just self-KOs. Good thing that I weak launched and used it in right spin later to spin-steal the win.
Oh that happens quite a many times. In the same event, I almost lost to that uncustomized Thermal Pisces (while I used a Basalt AD145EWD against it) because of the same aggressive movement. Thank God I won though, as losing to an uncustomized Thermal Pisces would be extremely demoralizing.
The aggression kicks in mid-battle, and reminds me of F: D at times. Actually, EWD tilts A LOT!
It has extremely bad balance as all Eternal tips have had(sans EDS. That is one tip which I am yet to experiment with. Actually, I haven't even had ES, but I have seen it being used in practice sessions in our previous tournaments, IIRC). Due to this, it is knocked off balance pretty soon. Thanks to it being 'Wide Defense', it stabilizes almost as soon as it is destabilized.
But in this short span of time during which the flatter part of WD was in contact with the stadium floor, it turns EXTREMELY aggressive(if WD was completely flat, it would probably have had the biggest effective diameter throughout the history of beyblade, and then we would have called it an X3F tip). And of course, WD's shape would NEVER allow it to hold the Tornado Ridge. So out flies your bey...
