I guess Metal Weight Core itself would be a little too light, Dark Wing is very good but still has some recoil. Defense Grip Base is good and you won't have much trouble with this setup, but I would still go with MG Core and switch to HMC if it's still too recoily.

I've used it a lot and there are no stress marks, it looks fine. It does have the same problem as Double Attacker (Blizzard Orthrus): The AR is recoily, so the inner prongs that connect to the spin gear seem to wear down a lot faster, probably because of the intense hits.

Still, I wouldn't say it's fragile.

How long does it take to get to the point where the neo spin gear needs to be replaced?

Yeah, I know him
I'd say the Dark series beys are still somewhat affordable.

I'm actually talking about the prongs on the Attack Ring itself, not the connectors on the SG. The wear causes the AR to not sit on the SG as tight, causing it to fall off from time to time. You cannot fix this except by buying a new AR. It takes a good amount of time to make them look that bad. The edges get cut off a bit then due to the hard hits and force on the spin gear. But it's not like they will break off completely and you're not able to use the AR anymore. The only AR prongs that have snapped for me so far are the ones of Uriel 2, but that's the good old gold plastic.

Ops, i misunderstood. Sorry! So it takes at least 3-4 months of intense battles to make it unusable? Or a shorter time?

Idk, I don't think you will break them off in such a short amount of time. I'm using mine for a long time now and everything is good.
I would say it's extremely rare to make it entirely unusable.

Okay then, you answered to all my questions. Thank you for your time & attention!

Btw.: If you consider getting an AR for strong hits: Try to get Manta Diver. I instantly fell in love after using Square Edge a couple of times. It is very powerful in right spin, and due to its symmetrical shape it is as useful in left spin as well.
Manta Diver is easier to get than any Dark Series beyblade. First of all Hasbro produced it and even the orange&blue Takara recolours are affordable.

If you want to invest some money I'd recommend this :)
