==Description==
Guard features a ball shaped tip surrounded by a downward facing dish that freely moves vertically, akin to Zero-G Beyblade's E230 Track. In theory the dish is meant to make contact with the stadium floor when the Beyblade is struck, forcing it back upright, acting as brakes to prevent a Stadium Out while the vertical movement of the dish is meant to prevent stamina loss. In practice however, because of how a Beyblade lists, the force applied to the dish is at a diagonal angle which causes the dish to lock up, which combined with the lack of a free spinning aspect and the low positioning creates a substantial stamina drain instead.
Unlike other ball based Performance Tip, Guard's tip does not features any tabs as their purpose had been integrated into the dish. However, the relatively smooth rim of the dish creates less stopping power than the tabs of Defense with greater stamina loss and the small diameter of the tip does little to stop the Beyblade. While the smooth ball would imply greater stamina than Defense, the aforementioned dish nullifies any stamina benefit.
==Overall==
Overall, Guard is outclassed by many other Performance Tips such as Defense and Atomic in terms of both Knock-Out resistance and Stamina. As such this part is recommended for collection purposes only.
