Training

Just wondering how other people try to get better outside of the arena, I have never found anything better but im up for something new.
What do you mean?

Also, how is this related to Beyblade customization?
I use a grip that can calculate yopur RPM, but it is fake RPM. It is harder to pull than a regular launcher and it helps you think of better ways to launch your beyblade to give it a higher RPM (not based on the piece of carp)
What you need to do is get several heavy weights, and connect to a rope. It's better to use a high-friction rubber hosing for grip, but it isn't as easily available.

Bring it about a pulley, and attach a handle to the other end. Train in sets to push your "explosive strength" limit by pulling it out abruptly with your ripcord hand.

To train your gripping hand, suspend the weight above the ground, and drop it abruptly to simulate launching; resist with your gripping hand and prevent moving.

Do this at least a few hundred times everyday, and increase the weights every weeks. You should be able to perform waterfall after that.

Composer of Requiem's advice is probably the best you're going to get for training outside of the stadium.

Outside of his advice, practice inside the stadium, it's the best place to develop basic technique, and the only place to develop basic technique.

LOL!!! Very interesting. I never actually tried that, but I might. However, what I used to do was to practice on grvael and sand, or other materials of similar textures, and I launched my Beyblades on it. I tried to make it spin for at least a minute to a minute-and-half straight, and I don't stop doing this repeatedly until I make it. LOL! It really worked well for me...

Awesome! I wanna see this! When I read this it reminded me of Kenny's launcher in G-Revolution.

Are you taking this seriously?

Go to Beywiki and look up Waterfall, that'll clear some stuff up

Physical Strength is actually a really big factor. My dad beats me a lot simply because when he pulls the winder you can hear the blade cutting the air the spin rate is that crazy. My dad is a welder so his upper body strength is obviously superior.

It'd be so cool if my father played beyblade with me.
Lol I dont train my punching for beyblade. I'm in karate and akido lol so naturally it works out pretty well beyblading well for me anyway
