Ive thoguht of this before actually. Its not the best illustration >> but hopefully you can see. Its a circle of plastic with plastic grip stuff on each side...

did it ever occur to you guys that you're doing it wrong?

not trying to spike / belittle anyone here but i look at the launcher and i see that you're suppose to wrap your fingers in the handle and pull it. if you hold it all loose and let it go so it flaps and slaps about, then its obviously gonna break.

if any fixes should be done, it should be that there are clear instructions about how to hold the launcher. failing that then people will learn the hard way (forking out alot of USD and GBP).

just how i see it, if its breaking, then you're not using it how it was designed.

If you wrap your fingers around the Beylauncher and pull, as instructed by Takara-Tomy, you won't get the full power you could get if you use it the way as demonstrated in the Beylauncher Video.

Why?

Because you have to reduce the power of your launch so you don't pull the string clear out of the Beylauncher. If you hold it as shown in the Beychannel video, you know the handle will slide out of your fingers once you reach maximum length of the string, meaning you don't have to worry about pulling the string out of the Beylauncher, so you can pull harder. That means more power.

I'd rather risk a broken handle/prong after many uses using the Beychannel's method, than only 2-3 uses because I pulled the string out of the launcher using Takara-Tomy's method.

It is the best technique.

Also why do you say math if you're British? Where is your pride, son.

i wrap my fingers around (apparently thats the takara tomy recomended) and i dont break my launchers. you hold it loosley and complain about it breaking, do the math man.

its not rocket science; the chord is like 20 inches or so long, if you're all so good at beyblading that you can sit there and work out your combo's and have your little special launchers, then why is it beyond you to gain the skill to know how far to pull but with seemingly wild force?

when i played beyblades back when they were popular and i was a year 6 school kid, i wasn't beaten. but that wasn't because i knew fancy combo's and had an easy grip launcher or anything, its because i learnt how to pull the handle better than anyone else. theres no doubt most of you people could probably beat me right now, but i'm learning how to pull the chord properly and without breaking it. rather than develop simply a strategic build on the blade, i've developed a skill that can't be passed over in words over the internet, unlike blade builds.

i dont wanna put a damper on your little 'woe is me' session, but i strongly suggest you just find a better tecnique.
