Layer: Ragnaruk

Motif: Demon, Flames of Armageddon.
Point: A complete circular inner frame for Stamina with 2 main symmetrical Attack points.


Weight: 8.53 grams


Approximate Maximum Attack Diameter: 49mm (4.9cm)


The base of the Layer has a PVC section concentrated on two farthest points of the Poly Carbonate outer Layer. With only two contact point the Ragnaruk has a much lower weight distribution. The hollow inner sections increase recoil impact, in turn increases defense.

Disk: Heavy

Heavy as its name suggest is the most heaviest Disk so far in the series. With a full circular weight distribution and a 4 point enhanced weight points. Heavy emphasis on mass over any movement. Great for defending against Recoil Impacts. 'H' imprint signifies Heavy.


Weight: 21.48 grams


Approximate Diameter: 37mm (3.7cm)
At only 37mm, the Heavy concentrates its mass on the inner core of the BeyBlade. This centralize the spin balance at the core and reduces tilt. Works the best with Stamina/Defense Types Drivers.

Driver: Survive

Singular unit with a Burst Module. Survive is similar to the previous Metalfight set up of Height 145 Semi Defense (H145SD).

Weight: 5.61 grams


The Survive Driver though more of Semi Defense Design, is used as a Stamina setup in this version. The pointed tip reduces the surface contact and supports higher spin ratio. Using defense type base adds the 'Recover' factor upon strong Recoils.

Summary: 

Stamina Type B-03 Ragnaruk Heavy Fusion in review, the Layer Ragnaruk is more of an Attack Type as the 'gaps' for intercept spin ratios are higher thus increase the possibility of high recoils during impact. The Disk Heavy is high in mass but relatively tall and compromising in balance, only defense type base can counter the loss in low center of gravity. The Driver Survive, a defense type base is a great part to stock up due to the versatility to use both for a Stamina and Defense setup.
6/10 get Beyblade for collectors.
  

Kendama Xross: KDX Pro Review

The new generation of KDX is here~


Kendama Xross Pro series!

Designed and Recommended by KDX ambassador KENDAMAN (NOB)

20th February 2016
B-31 Starter Yggdrasil Ring Gyro
B-32 Shoot Support Rubber
B-33 Beyblade Burst BeyStaduim Standard Type (Black)

Quite a list of support attachment parts coming up  like the revival of the old Angle Compass, B-25 Angle Grip.
B-26 Rubber Assist will greatly assist Bladers with bigger hands improving grip by expanding the grip area.B-32 Shoot Support Rubber implements the slip tab design and also reduces impact breakage of the string ripcord.


The Re-release of the Valkyrie and Spriggan Starters into B-29, B-30 'Entry Packages' seems puzzling at this time especially when there seem to be no color variations. But according to the release, it comes with a version of Beylauncher called the 'Proto Launcher'. The Ripcord seems shorter and thicker and looks like the Beylogger cannot be attached to Beylauncher.

New sets of BG-01 Capsule Toy Random Layer Collection Volume 1 (5 designs, Clear versions of the 4 main Beys and 1 Exclusive Rare - Chaos Layer)

B-24 Random Booster Volume 2 (8 designs) are something to look forward to to get some new alternate color parts.


Not really sure about new Drivers like Xtreme, Needle, Zephyr and Gyro? Only Xtreme is reviewed in CoroCoro so far being a Rubber Flat (RF). Looking forward to the rest being reviewed.

Beyblade Burst! B-02 Spriggan Spread Fusion DX Starter Review

Layer: Spriggan

Motif: Ancient Guardian Golem
Point: Spriggan is a Oval shaped defensive Layer with two impact points. Both defense and attack modes all in one Layer.


Weight: 7.6 grams

The Spriggan Layer approximate diameter span 50.1mm (5cm) 


The base of the Layer has a minimum PVC section concentrated on two farthest points of the Poly Carbonate outer Layer. With only two contact point the Spriggan has a much lower weight distribution. The hollow sections increase recoil impact, in turn increases defense.

Disk: Spread

Motif: Nil
Spread is an all round balance weight disk with an even distributed mass area over a thin thickness ratio. Note the 'S' initials marked on the Disk.

Diameter: 41mm (4.1cm)

Weight: 20.75 grams

The outer circumference of the Spread Disk is curved downwards. This allows a 'push up' effect upon impact from the opponents Disk (if any). The Disk also more aerodynamically designed to Boost longer Spin Ratio. 

Driver: Fusion

Singular unit with a Burst Module. Fusion is similar to the previous Metalfight set up of Height 145 Flat Sharp (H145FS). 


Weight: 5.45 grams

The Fusion Driver as similar properties of an Accel bottom but the small sharp point in the center of it gives the driver a 'Stamina' capability when it reaches a lower spin ratio. (or when it slows down). It being a 2 in 1 Driver system, therefore 'Fusion'.

Performance: Standard Attack Stadium  
Using a Black Standard Attack Stadium for easy visualization purposes only.
(Please use Official Battle BeyStadium for Burst series to avoid any injury!)

Launched in parallel to the stadium surface, the Spriggan Spread Fusion moves fast circling the outer circumference of the Staduim. Similar behavior to the Accel Driver.

When the spin ratio reduces, the Bey slides to the center of the BeyStadium and switches to Stamina mode.

Summary:

B-02 Spriggan Spread Fusion DX Starter is an all rounded Bey with Defense, Attack and Stamina capabilities all in one. Highly recommended for first time Bladers. A 8/10 get for beginners and a great addition for competitive bladers looking for a Balanced setup.
