== Attack Ring (AR): Cross Fang ==
*Weight: 5g
Cross Fang's relatively thin design depicts four symmetrical tiger heads, with large protrusions tailing them. Though these protrusions are prominent enough to make adequate contact in right spin, Cross Fang suffers from a large amount of recoil and is very fragile, making it practically unusable for [[Smash Attack]] (Is there anything at all in the shape of that "tiger back" that makes it more vulnerable to have Recoil, or anything at all in the shape, besides Recoil and fragility, that make it bad for Smash Attack ? Should it be pointier, should it be bolder, longer, etc. ?). This recoil and fragility also hinders any possible ability in [[Stamina]] and [[Defense]] (Again, if it were not for Recoil and fragility, its shape would be good for Stamina or Defense ? Perhaps it is true for plastics, but even then, perhaps there is a play between the fact that it is too 'pointy' for Stamina and Defense, but not enough for Attack ?), despite its fairly even weight distribution, and as such it has no competitive use.


== Weight Disk (WD): ==
See [[Balance Weight Disks|8 Balance]]

== Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Full Auto Clutch Ver.) ==
The tip is a wide and free-spinning flat metal tip containing a bearing which allows fast movement and adequate survival ability. Though it is difficult to control, the high speed and decent stamina means it finds use in both [[Smash Attack]] and [[Upper Attack]], being able to deliver hard hits even during later stages of battle.

=== Using the Full Auto Clutch Shaft in other Casings and Bases ===
The Shaft of the SG can be used in the following casings, in addition to its own: [[Dranzer S|SG (Free Shaft Ver)]], in which if (it ?) spins freely, along with [[Burning Kerberous|Double Bearing Core]] Casings, and [[Wolborg 2|SG (Bearing Ver. 2)]] Casings, in both of which it is fixed in place. The SG (Free Shaft Ver.) casings are the only ones which are at a useable height for competitive use.

In SG (Free Shaft Ver.), the SG is short enough for combinations to make effective contact, and as it may be used with [[Burning Kerberous|Customize Bearing Base]], and [[Wolborg 2|Defense Grip Base 2]], amongst others, it can be used in a variety of [[Attack]] customizations.

=== Use in [[Smash Attack]] Customization ===
The excellent speed of this tip, alongside its compatibility with Customize Bearing Base, which can use SPs, allows the creation of powerful Smash Attack Customizations.
Here is one such combination:

* '''AR:''' Triple Tiger ([[Driger G]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG (Free Shaft Ver.)]] ([[Dranzer S]])
* '''SG Shaft:''' Full Auto Clutch Shaft ([[Driger F]])
* '''SP:''' Survivor Ring ([[Dark Series]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Bearing Base ([[Burning Kerberous]])

=== Use in [[Upper Attack]] Customization ===
Due to the ability to use SPs, the combination of the Full Auto Clutch shaft and Customize Bearing Base can make effective use of [[Driger V2]]’s AR and SP combination to create strong Upper Attack:

* '''AR:''' Upper Claw ([[Driger V2]])
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks|10 Heavy]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG (Free Shaft Ver.)]] ([[Dranzer S]])
* '''SG Shaft:''' Full Auto Clutch Shaft ([[Driger F]])
* '''SP:''' Upper Attack SP ([[Driger V2]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Bearing Base ([[Burning Kerberous]])

=== Use in [[Upper Attack]]/[[Spin Stealing]] Customization ===
Another notable combination which makes use of the low height, decent stamina (Endurance ?), and bearing support of this particular setup is a rather unorthodox Upper Attack/Spin Stealing combo, which, despite being in the opposite spin direction to most opponents, still exhibits powerful [[Upper Attack]] against them (arguably more powerful than it does against same-spin opponents), focusing less on creating large amounts of lift and more on using smaller amounts of lift more efficiently, to score easier KOs.
It also boasts decent ability to steal spin due to a free-spinning shaft, relatively circular shape, and good weight distribution. This, along with the destabilising properties of its Upper Attack, allows it to succeed where many other Attack combinations would fail. As such, combined with a good launch, it is an incredibly dangerous and versatile combination.
The combination is as follows:

* '''AR:''' Triangle Wing ([[Dranzer GT]]) or Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]]/[[Kid Dragoon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG (Free Shaft Ver.)]] ([[Dranzer S]])
* '''SG Shaft:''' Full Auto Clutch Shaft ([[Driger F]])
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])


== Blade Base (BB): Full Auto Clutch Base ==
*Weight: 15g (with SG (Full Auto Clutch))

The Blade Base is, as named, a clutch base with two springs and hooks. The only practical use of this base is with SG (Full Auto Clutch). At high RPMs, it clutches the tip for extra speed and force. At low RPMs, the clutch releases, causing a decrease in speed, and causing the beyblade to circle closer near the center of the stadium. However, the poor shape of the base, combined with the fact the gimmick trades off a significant amount of stamina for a relatively minor gain in aggression, means it does not have any real competitive use.

== Other Versions ==
* '''Driger F''' - [[Metal Master]] Version (Silver)
* '''Driger F''' - [[Hyperblade]] Version (Light Green/Silver-Green)
*'''Driger F''' - Clear Version - Shogakukan (Manga) Lottery Special
* '''Driger F''' - Clear Purple - Beyblade TCG Campaign
* '''Driger F''' - Clear Red - Expert Event Recolor
* '''Driger F''' - Clear Yellow - Fukubasho 2002 Recolor
* '''Driger F''' - White Version - Beybooster F

== Overall ==
The main draw of this Beyblade is its unique shaft, which is not only provides extremely fast movement, but also has decent [[Survival]] ability. While the rest of this Beyblade leaves a lot to be desired, the shaft is more than enough to make up for it. '''Every Blader should own this Beyblade, albeit after obtaining other staple [[Attack]] parts.'''

== Attack Ring (AR): Cross Fang ==
*Weight: 5g
Cross Fang's relatively thin design depicts four symmetrical tiger heads, with large protrusions tailing them. Though these protrusions are prominent enough to make adequate contact in right spin, Cross Fang suffers from a large amount of recoil and is very fragile, on top of this, all of its contact points are subdued and a tad inward making it practically unusable for [[Smash Attack]].. This recoil, fragility and design which has too many small notches making it very susceptible to Attack ARs which can easily latch on to it with an explosive outcome also hinder any possible ability in [[Endurance]] or [[Defense]] despite its fairly even weight distribution, and as such it has no competitive use. Cross Fang is in a grey area in the sense that it has too much recoil to be used for [[Stamina]] or [[Defense]] but not having enough Smash Attack to be used effectively in any Attack custom.
