Oh man, that would match perfectly with my black Launcher and Ripcord, I need one of those sets haha.

Looking good Hazel! I need to pick up an extra of each of the 'basic 3' HMS.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

New stuff got here today, so here it is!

Size comparison to other launcher grips(it is quite long!):

Demonstrating part of the method by which it can switch from left to right - this is a 100% intended modification. You have to take out 8 screws, switch the orientation of the part fitting into those slots to the opposite end, then flip it over and screw it back together, but the grip itself actually shows you how to do it on it.

Well, you've sold me on it, I just grabbed a set in case they disappear. That grip looks excellent (I have slightly larger-than-average hands, good for guitar, less good for beyblade launchers), kinda wishing I'd bought the set instead of separate gaia dragoon/draciel in the first place, but extra launchers, 15g Circle Wide, and Circle Heavy isn't such a bad thing (though I should have loads of the latter, haha).

Man, that grip looks like something Volvo would have done 10 years ago, if they were to manufacture beyblade accessories.

They are just plated, filled Light Wheels ?

They are just plated, filled Light Wheels ?

nope
they are hybrid wheels wif weight heavier than the normal ones
approximately >50~65g (can't rmb the weight of 1st mold)
it's a man from hong kong sending the original plastic wheels to modeling factory and producing molds of those wheels. then, molds were filled with materials similar to normal hybrid wheels like thermal and earth,
and the copies were plated like the photos I showed

the bottom of wheels were also filled,
so no gaps r appeared like normal wheels
hence the weight definitely rises

it's the second ver of self produced hybrid wheels
and the first one has been used by some bladers in hong kong coz it can help rubbing RF wif such heavy wheels.
I've heard from the seller that there r only 10sets of 2nd mold wheels for sale
wtever~

God, that grip looks horrible man. Generally, the original HMS aesthetics were really amazing in my opinion.

I dunno, I think it looks pretty classy.

It looks very, uh, industrial, I guess? Something that would have a really generic name that you'd use for work, not play. Reminds me of old russian guitars amongst other things.

That said, I honestly don't care so much how it looks if it's comfortable and sturdy.

It's almost like Sonokong caught on that most people buying their older toys aren't kids and threw it together at the last minute, especially with the ridiculous poorly implemented hand-switch.

A poorly-implemented one is better than "BE RIGHT HANDED OR DON'T BEYBLADE", imo.

I think the standard HMS grip looks goofy, tbh, and the weird trigger thing is just... strange...

---

Some manner of Octopus.

Oh, I agree completely. It could have been more elegantly done but I guess it is far more sturdy as a result of its design, and it's not like it's something you're going to change regularly.

I should also mention - as I feel it prudent - that even as a right-handed individual(albeit one with a lot of experience being ambidextrous due to injuries and drumming), lefty launching(which is the configuration this grip comes in, oddly enough) is very comfortable and easy to control.

---

Some manner of Octopus.

Must admit, I was curious why you had disassembled it so quickly. No problem, hard to walk around my mess of a room without impaling my foot on a screwdriver anyway, and I keep a nicely sized one with my beyblades.

I might play around with lefty launching with it for kicks, haha.

I think the wierd sonokong version is uglier too. I wonder if they used the takara one in the days when HMS came out. If they did then I really have to wonder why they would have gone to the trouble of creating that new one.

---

HMS grips are weird as I see it. I never have a HMS or what but yeah, might just get the grip if I can find one.

got a bearing stinger today, it's hasbro ver
but i changed the bit beast and bottom parts, coz the bearing hasbro ver doesnt spin as fluent as takara's

Hm? I thought the Hasbro one was prized by Japanese players because its tip was harder, producing better stamina? Wolborg 1 was the one hasbro messed up.

actually it's dio's idea to change the bearing
it doesnt spin fluently though it may have a harder tip as u mentioned....

Oh, yes, at least one of the bearings has to be changed, I thought you meant the tip.
