Can you show me other Xtend sharp tips that can do that? Because mine does not.

If not all Union Achilles copies do that, then it's probably a defect. Have you tried to do test spins with it? from that I can see, it looks like your Xt+ tip goes down like the tip on Absorb, so it may have similar effect even on Stamina mode (where the tip is really exposed) when launched hard

It must be a defect I was trying out my uA and was unable to do that

It only moves up and down in balance/defense mode. When in stamina mode, it is already pushed down and does not move anymore. Test spins in stamina mode shows exactly the same behavior as the old Xt+ versions. 

Ya it is probably a rare defect but cool nonetheless ?

Thanks for checking ? I’m keeping this as a rare defect ? more power to you!

Does it act like Absorb(act aggressively because the tip gets pushed inward before becoming stationary) when you launch it in Defense Mode?

I attached a test launch video. It can do what you said, but I think this can already be done on the old Xt+ with a precise launch technique. I think the “gimmick/defect” does not give any significant advantage. If anything, the additional moving part is causing more vibration... ?

Unlike Absorb, this rare defect you have seem to have more or less the same movements as a normal Xt+ should demonstrate on Defense mode. I'm just a bit curious and apprehensive that the defect it has may contribute to either better or worse lock strength (like a pseudo-Power gimmick mixed with Absorb-like tip). Maybe if you use a heavier combo on that, even Defense mode would act like a Balance/Attack mode due to the weight pressing on the tip more than the stock combo?

edit: and also, does the defective tip spin on its own as well (like a misaligned spring might've let it spin freely or something)?

Oh ok thanks a lot BeyBugoy! However, were you doing the special launch with the defective Xtend+ or a normal launch?

Yes. I think it will have the same stadium movement as the normal Xt+, but slightly less stability and stamina due to one more moving part. 

I think there is really a spring there even for the original Xt tips but the purpose is for the mode change to different heights - you can verify this with other Xt drivers. For my B-150 Xt+, the tip was defective in the sense that the tip is loose. 

It is a separate spring from the lock spring, so it’s not gonna have properties like the Power driver.

Just a normal launch for the video. For the balance/defense mode, the stadium movement will depend on the launch angle and landing location on the stadium. If you flat launch in the middle of the stadium, the small tip will make it just spin on the center. If you do any tilt or off-center launch, it can have some stadium movement first before stabilizing on the center.

Did you mean if we want to remove the Chip and place it on another Xtend Driver recolor/copy? 


Wait, so they didn't actually put the tool IN the actual Booster? AHAHAHAHA what a load of carp then, if you still will need to get the Long BeyLauncher Set for the aforementioned tool

Same spin tests are never accurate. You are better off asking competitive bladers on what they prefer. Personally, I think they aren't too different. Although more components on a driver = less balance. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make.
