Here are some tests I did with Absorb-S.

A few things to note as well.

1. Absorb-S doesn't seem to have good Burst Resistance for me.
2. Absorb-S won't Self-KO when hard launched. As its sharp tip gets more worn though, it will get more and more aggressive, which may increase the likelihood of Self-KOs. Mine is starting to wear some so I need to get another one soon™.

Final Thoughts (Click to View)

Absorb-S can be a very weird Driver. If it doesn't get Destabilized and is able to control or steal the center, it can win matchups you wouldn't think it can win in Same-Spin. But of course, that'll depend on the opposing Driver. It can do good against some Ball Drivers and Cone Drivers but also ok or not so good against others. And in Opposite-Spin, it's pretty good, but not as good as something like Bearing or Dimension-S though.

Thanks and have a good one!

The Absorb-S is not bad but when you launch it it thinks it is absorbbreak and then it will go crazy and then it will burst

Wow wasn’t actually expecting that at all this may actually be used competitive wise for some combos

Strange. My Absorb-S seems to have great Burst Resistance. Must be Hasbro's inconsistencies. But I will agree when you say Absorb-S is weird. It seems to be a slightly more inconsistent Eternal-S, in the sense that it can be a bit more easily destabilized.

My absorb-s spring is better than some slingshock drivers but not as good as some alot of god/evolution drivers

i will say through some testing that abosrbS is better then the normal one but the 'feel' when using the original absorb is better
