SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Mark 2 - Wizard - May. 09, 2010
Ok so I was messing around with some stuff thinking ok how can I make a Launcher Grip that can attach to your arm and could still be comfortable? So then I had a few idea's on the materials I could use but I had to use Tape. But then I had another Idea and this one is almost perfect. The only flaw is that if you don't hold the Launcher during the launch then it will fall off but holding the Launcher improves aim anyway. So now Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the "SX Launcher Grip Mark 1"
RE: SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Wizard - May. 09, 2010
Also just in-case none of you noticed yet there is only 4 peices to this grip. 2 pieces of metal, the Winder, and the actual Launcher. there is nothing keeping the Launcher attached, what I did is I put in the Launcher and I slid it up and then it is secure. also the reason why I titled this one as the Mark 1 is because I plan on making some other ones pretty soon I plan on making a HMS version, an MFB Light Launcher version, and an MFB BeyLauncher version with the hasbro release. but the HMS version will be made as soon as possible. so there should be a Marks 2-4 soon and possibly more.

Then grab onto the EZ launcher and then launch. Also there is part of the spine to a binder on the metal rods so that you can adjust it to your wrist size and I forgot to mention that you need a Watch for it to stay onto your wrist.

Errrr..... any advantages? Or is it just some screwed up - yet looking cool experiment

EDIT: Also it improves tilt
RE: SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Minion - May. 09, 2010
I made a similar HMS launcher grip out of k'nex some years ago, except the launcher was turned 90'. I didn't really find it help with aim, but it was definitely a lot more stable than just holding the launcher on its own.
RE: SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Wizard - May. 09, 2010
The only way that it really helps with aim is that it lines up with your arm.
RE: SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Wizard - May. 09, 2010
I just made the Mark 2, which will work with HMS beyblades. So I'm gonna go test it out right now to check for flaws, but I will upload the pictures when I'm done.
Ok everybody I didn't notice any design flaws in the Mark 2. what I did was I noticed a place where I could put a chain into the HMS launcher, so I attached it to the metal using a chain from some old Dog Tags. so here are the pictures, but other than the chain it's basicly the same launcher but an HMS version.
RE: SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Mark 2 - Wizard - May. 09, 2010
Well it looks like I won't be able to make the Mark 3, and the Mark 4, etc. until the Hasbro release of the new beyblades. But if any of you have any ideas or suggestions on how to get a Light Launcher or a BeyLauncher to attach to this then please let me know.

It looks like if all goes well with hasbro and you revamp it a bit, you could actually sell it around here if you have enough supplies and whatnot.

It's very simple but I need to figure out a way to improve the Mark 2 since it's attached by a chain, although I could put that chain idea to a good use. But right now I also need to find out how to attach a Light Launcher and a BeyLauncher.

It won't be banned from tournies will it? It doesn't modify gameplay, just comfort I presume?

I suppose in that sense it is arguable that it may be considered unfair since some may not have it.
Thanks Kai-V.

I'm not sure if this Mark2 can provide a good shoot. I don't see how you can have a good grip on the launcher. Can you explain it to me?

RE: SX Launcher Grip Mark 1 - Mark 2 - King Tom - May. 11, 2010
You could bend this part
[Image: t86iz5.jpg]
Bend it just enough to get a good grip on the launcher. The part on the wrist will press the two wires that connect the launcher and it will stay still while you launch providing a good grip.
