It's a waste of time and not nearly as greatly written as yours would be.

Well that’s rude. Let me put it this way, my first drafts make my eyes bleed

further, i really like monodragon's wiki style, and strongly prefer his entries over everyone else

i know that's contra to the principles behind a wiki, but the difference is quality is so stark.  this draft and the proof disc draft are great examples...

keep up the great work mono!

==Description==
Absorb features a angled, spring loaded  Wide cone shaped tip akin to Wide Defense from MFB era.

Akin to wide defense from MFb ?

Hey Adarsh, a dumb question maybe, but will you please clear it for me.. 

You can see the tip of dF clearly in the picture. Since it looks like bearing, then that isn't a sharp tip in that sense, am I right? As said, it is a dumb question. But the use of 'sharp cone shaped' may misguide others. It looks sharp but is blunt at the tip.
Secondly, a small grammatical mistake. In the first line of the description, you have written a angled. It should be an angled. I know it doesn't matter much, but just trying to get the draft perfect! Hope you understand!

It's not Wide, It's like Bearing's tip in the Pic, But That's not everything right? we need a Actual Pic, and I think we have that video of Absorb

Well Adarsh, now you can Cleary see that it isn't sharp. It's hemispherical. 
Secondly, that lime green does not go with gF no matter what. The colour let alone is great, but with gF, it just spoils it. It is crazily and almost a perfect circle, thw LAD King is here! Hope it's weight doesn't kill it..
Thanks for sharing it GOD CHIPS!

So is Fafnir's gimmick activated by pushing against the top of the rubber and not the back end? It looks like that from the pictures, but I guess it was just me that thought it was the latter.

During slow spin, those rubber parts are out and they store all the attack energy they get from the opponent beyblade and then the parts close causing the layer to gain speed from the stored or absorbed energy. That's what I get from the pic..
It would be better if you can confirm this on the gF thread.

Sorry about that, I'll make sure to do that next time around.

(Sep. 04, 2018  6:01 PM)Adarsh Abhinav Wrote: Absorb features a spring-loaded sharp tip of a small diameter surrounded by a free-spinning ring, akin to a combination of Revolve and Nothing. The sharp tip of Absorb provides low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina and Burst Defense properties. The wide diameter of the ring, which is wider and looser than Revolve's, gives Absorb high precession time and Spin-Equalization potential which is useful against Opposite-Spin and Mobile Stamina Combinations. Compared to similar Performance Tips, Absorb's precession time is greater than Revolve's but lower than Eternal's.

The spring-loaded tip has two purposes, the first is to prevent harsh impacts against the stadium floor from launch, preventing accidental Self-Knock-Outs from bouncing. The second is that when the tip is fully depressed, the center sharp tip is retracted and the ring is locked in place, creating a hollow flat tip with aggressive movement akin to Zephyr. However, without a mechanism to keep the spring compressed, this aggressive movement only happens briefly upon first landing.

==Use in Stamina/Defense Combinations==
Absorb can be used in the Stamina/Defense Combination Archer Hercules/Hell Salamander (Defense Mode) 7/10 Absorb. The high Stamina of Archer Hercules/Hell Salamander is bolstered by 7/10 and Absorb's precession. The combination is also resistant against Attack Types by Archer Hercules/Hell Salamander's low recoil and strong teeth and 7/10 heavy weight.

==Use in Spin-Equalization Combinations==
Absorb can be used in the Spin-Equalization Combination Geist Fafnir/Spriggan Requiem 7/10 Proof/Cross/Glaive Absorb. Geist Fafnir's Knock-Out resistance is bolstered by the weight of the 7/10 Disc while the heavy weight and teeth of the Layer and the free-spinning and plastic nature of the Tip compensates for the increased Burst risk of using heavy Discs. When spinning opposite to the opponent, the rubber of Geist Fafnir and the low friction of the Absorb Tip allows for high amounts of Spin Equalization while the Life-After-Death of Proof/Cross/Glaive and Absorb allows the Combination to Out Spin its opponent.

==Overall==
Absorb's greater precession time makes it outclass Revolve and works well in both Stamina and Spin-Equalization Combinations. While still outclassed by Eternal and Bearing in these regards, Absorb is still an excellent alternative.

As such, Absorb is a welcome addition to any blader's collection.
