Yard' (ヤードダッシュ, Yādo Dasshu) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-198 Random Booster Vol. 29 on May 28th, 2022.
==Description==
Yard' features a free rotating ball tip, akin to its predecessors Orbit and Atomic, surrounded by a wide ring, akin to Defense. In theory, the ball tip would increase a Beyblade's Knock-Out Defense by having greater surface area and friction and the wide ring is meant to make contact with the stadium floor when the Beyblade is struck, forcing it back upright and acting as brakes to prevent Knock-Outs. However, in practice the free rotating nature of the ball reduces most of the Knock-Out Resistance given by the surface area of the ball and the diameter of the ball makes contact with the ring rare. Unlike other ball based Performance Tips, Yard' does not feature tabs around the tip as their purpose have been taken by the wide base. If launched hard, the greater surface area creates a semi-aggressive movement pattern early in the battle, bringing the Beyblade close to the Tornado Ridge.
While these features may imply that a Yard' Combination would be easy to Knock-Out, in reality the heavy weight of SwitchStrike/God and Cho-Z Layers, Core Discs and Yard' 's own weight compensates for the rotating ball. Furthermore, the free rotating tip increases Burst Resistance. While the shape of the base can create Life-After-Death and may imply high Stamina and Spin-Equalization potential, the low placement of the base creates a high scrape risk and the lack of free rotation in the base nullifies Spin-Equalization potential.
Yard is slightly shorter than most other Pre-Cho-Z Performance Tips. In theory, this is meant to prevent the opponent's Layer from striking the Yard' Combination from below and Destabilizing it, thus increasing Defense potential. In practice however, due to the design of the Burst System, this increases the chances of Disc-to-Layer contact and can potentially Burst the Yard' Combination. Though the only minor reduction in height mitigates the effect.
Like most Dash Drivers, Yard' has a stronger spring lock, increasing its Burst Resistance.
==Overall==
===Standard===
Despite the stronger spring lock, Yard' 's Low Height makes it more prone to scraping on Dynamite Battle Discs such as Giga and Over, making completely unviable.
===Classic===
Yard' may have a niche in this format, performing akin to how it did in the early Cho-Z metagame.
As such, it is for collection purposes only.
