TB reminds me of something I did with some K'NEX as a kid, though it had a flat tip rather than a round one. Maybe it'll find some use in Zero G Stadia, but eh.
F230 looks interesting, but I think everyone is far too optimistic about it, unless the friction is lower than that of a tip that will work with it, it's not going to be that useful..
No offense, but the description on Beywiki just isn't how things like that work, we already have fully free spinning tips or beys with fully free spinning top parts in other series that are supported by low-friction mechanisms, and they generally carry on spinning when hit in the same direction, with the usual rpm loss.
Not to mention that for a wheel to move in the reverse direction to which it was launched, it would momentarily stop as it changed directions, which is an automatic loss.
If it has a good low-friction mechanism (eg bearing support) then it'll be banworthy.

JB fell only just short of greatness. Slightly more aggression or some actual ability to precess at low RPM would probably have been enough to make it competitive.
That said, I doubt SB will do that, or even the intended gimmick of JB, all that well.
Nonetheless, the inclusion of killerken is very nice.
Thanks for all of the information, Kai-V, and everyone else who posted screenshots etc.
