After seeing the results some people have posted against Defense customs lately, I suppose this is actually OK? I don't know. I mean, the win percentage would surely be increased in tournament situations, but even then, it is not impressive. I need to do more testing with Infinity actually because it got much better results in my testing, particularly against MF Lightning L Drago (unless the switch to R2F made a huge difference, which I doubt, this is somewhat surprising).
Stamina Testing
This is more of a formality, than anything else; I didn't expect Grand to have any sort of Stamina, and I was correct in that assumption:
Grand is an interesting Wheel. It is thicker than even Earth at the thickest point on it's four wings, yet I don't feel it is as good defensively. Perhaps this could be attributed to the fact that at it's weight of 29.3 grams, it is 3.5 grams lighter than the second mold of Earth, and almost a gram lighter than even Infinity. Looking at the underside of Grand reminds me of Escolpio, only not as bad.

I should note that I used WB over RS because we all know that using RS would not really have told us anything. Grand has some Smash Attack early on, as I'm sure a lot of Wheels do, but it's not terribly consistent. There is no reason to use this Wheel for Smash Attack with the numerous amounts of other viable options out there.
