Tournament legal launcher modifications to counter athritis? - BeyBarBlade - Apr. 29, 2025
This might be a silly question, I searched through the forums and Reddit for an answer to no avail. This is specifically for Beyblade X.
For context, my mother has an interest in Beyblades. She saw me demonstrate my X stadium and thought it would be fun to try out. But when she saw the ripcord launcher, she said that she wouldn't be able to use it. Her arthritis makes her wrists really bad on some days, to the point of being unable to use the ripcord launcher. I want to help her get into the game without making her wrists hurt.
I was wondering if there's any modifications I could make to my launcher that could help put less strain on her wrists while keeping the Beys spinning as fast as any other launcher. I only have the ripcord launcher at the moment (my string launcher is arriving next week). I want to make sure it's tournament legal as well.
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this kind of question. ^^;

There isn't much you can do. you cannot modify the winder and keep it tournament legal.

That's alright. I'll mark the question as answered. I'll see if there's any official accessories that could help instead. Apologies, I should have read the tournament rules more thoroughly.

String launcher needs significantly less force to pull, its honestly probably her best bet. I hope shes able to play without pain!

Thank you. I'll provide an update upon receiving the string launcher next week, public holidays have delayed the postal service quite a bit over where I live. We'll see how it goes!
