What is actually important is for there to be enough weight, not too much, but for it to be distributed on the circumference of the Wheel. As such, if you add a Metal Face, you are not really walking toward that goal.

(Aug. 09, 2013  5:23 AM)Kai-V Wrote: That really depends on how you use it, with what heavy or light combination, what the customization faces, how many times it got knocked out and landed on the Bottom, if you clean the rubber once in a while to remove the dust accumulated, etc. As such, we cannot give any accurate number. It could be anywhere between twenty and fifty, in my opinion.

You would have to get a first Beylauncher and use it until it breaks, to see if you need to correct anything in your launch or if you absolutely need an accessory to smoothen the impact of the handle whipping back.

(Aug. 09, 2013  5:23 AM)Kai-V Wrote: There is no real way. Make sure to always attach your Beyblade to the prongs softly, but this is an inevitable issue due to how heavy combinations are now. Even back at the beginning of Metal Fight Beyblade, when Beyblades used to weigh less than fifty grams, this was a problem that could not really be avoided.

As for the hollowed out duo, it's meh. Phantom hyperblades version is a great alternative. I highly reccomend it. D is probably a better choice if you're playing zero-g. It really just depends.

Generally, the higher the Track, the smaller diameter tip you need. SD is a decent choice no matter what the height, though.

Then, there's a big heavy metal ring on the outside. This makes it have a very strong flywheel effect which keeps it spinning for a long time. It's also why AD145 and Cancer are good for stamina; they are distributed outwards more than other Tracks or CWs.

I just got two Revizers, and Revizer Revizer is soo heavy, it falls over like a rock and barely has any stamina… too much weight?

I know this isn't an effective way of launching, but I don't think I can afford to get another one if it breaks, so... how do I figure out the correct way of launching it without breaking it first to find out?

Sniping is when you aim your launcher so that when you and your opponent launch, the beys make contact as soon as they enter the stadium in hopes of KO-ing your opponent or severely slowing down their spin.

How do you change the prongs? You mean the Phantom wheel from Phantom Orion? Why that wheel? Why is D better for Zero-g?... why is WD the best stamina tip in most situations?

That's very cool. Then is the reason the WD tip is best for stamina because it has a wider diameter so more weight is distributed on the outside?

What's the Cancer CW like and how is it more distributed outwards? Are the Cygnus and Hades clear wheels also more distributed outwards? What would be differences between Cancer, Cygnus, and Hades for uses in stamina?
