Let's say a beyblade is like a gear. When one gear spins in one direction, and collides with another gear that spins in an opposite direction, the rotational momentum of one of the gears (whichever gear is spinning faster) is transferred to the other gear, and while the gear that was spinning faster before contact loses momentum, the gear that was slower before contact gains momentum. This happens back and forth between collisions, until they reach an equal momentum. Once that momentum is not enough to keep both gears spinning, the gear that spins more freely with less friction will spin for a wee bit longer (LAD).
The Fafnir line has rubber in their layers (not counting Hasbro), which increases the friction when hit by an opposing bey, transferring more energy to the Fafnir bey. Any beys that spin in opposite directions can spin steal, though more friction makes spin stealing more effective.
Slow motion bursts are normally caused by this increased friction, since when the faster spinning bey hits the slower spinning, opposite spin bey, the transferring of momentum can slow down the layer by a lot, and the disc which is still spinning at the same speed before the contact with the opposite spinning bey can slide all the way to the end of the layer's teeth or slopes, causing a burst.

This really clarifies my mind on the physics of it thank you.
