==Description==
Bearing' features a free spinning, low angled cone tip composed of PolyOxyMethylene (POM) plastic and supported by ball bearings, akin to a mix between Yielding and Bearing Drive from Metal Fight Beyblade.

The POM plastic reduces friction between the stadium floor and the tip while the ball bearings reduces friction between the tip and the shaft, features that grant Bearing' the highest Stamina potential in the game. Furthermore the bearing supported free-spinning shaft resists roaming if a Bearing' Combination is off balance or low on spin, helping a Combination remain in the center as much as possible. Additionally, because of how small the tip of Bearing is, combined with the wideness of the cone, the Combination will often be off balance, even when it has a lot of Stamina left. This can actually create Disc-to-Layer contact.
However, the Takara Tomy release of Bearing' has poor Knock-Out Resistance caused by the POM tip; since there is so little friction between the tip and stadium floor, Bearing Combinations are highly susceptible to Knock-Outs. 
Unlike other Performance Tips, Bearing' features a yellow spring lock, instead of white (standard) or red (other Dash Performance Tips). This is because the original had the weakest spring for any performance tip, so it got upgraded to that of a normal performance tip. This makes Bearing' a viable option for same spin.
==Use in Spin-Equalisation Combinations==
Bearing' can be put to use in the Stamina/Spin-Equalization Combination Dynamite(F Gear)Spriggan/Belial I/Perseus/Belial II(or Vanish Spriggan/Fafnir/Bahamut) Giga/Over Bearing'-0/6/10. The high Precession time and Stamina of Bearing' further bolsters the inherent Stamina of the layers and Discs while the Right/Left Spin naturecan compensate for Bearing''s poor Burst Resistance against Opposite-Spin opponents while Bearing's free-spinning tip bolsters Dynamite(f Gear)/vanish's Spin-Equalization. However, this Combination is highly susceptible against Same-Spin opponents. 
==Overall==
Takara Tomy's Bearing' has the highest Stamina potential in the game, though its critically poor Knock-Out and mediocre Burst Resistance (in a metagame filled with dash Driver) makes it lag behind Revolve and Atomic for Stamina purposes. However, like its predecessor, it is still good for spin equalisation.

As such, Takara Tomy's Bearing' is a must have for competitive bladers.
