Do ratchet heights matter for stamina?

-

 Ever since Beyblade X started, I have always wondered does the height of the ratchet matter as much? I mean....I've been told that higher ratchets are user worse of than shorter ones, but has there been any sort of empirical evidence? Why are they worse? So, while procrastinating for my cybersecurity assignment, I set out to actually see if this assumption was valid. 

Methodology:

Since Wizard Arrow is considered as the quintessential Stamina Beyblade, so I decided to chose that Beyblade attack ring/blade. For the bit, I decided to go with Ball as it is a round tip perfect for stamina combos. Needle and High Needle have a pointed end which make it very sensitive to blade weight distribution hence it was avoided. For ratchets, I used 3-60, 3-80, 4-80 and 4-80. This was also just for myself to see which ratchet was much better on Wizard Arrow. I have always believed it to be 4, but some people had suggested that 3 might be better.

They Beyblade was not part of any bey battle and was left to run freely without any interference. To make sure that any anomalies do not impact the results in a significant way, there were 3 attempts made for each combination and an average was taken. Theoretically the more attempts the better, however due to time constraints I decided that 3 should be enough. 

Results: 

Wizard Arrow:

Discussion:

As we can see from the above statistics, the taller the ratchet the less stamina they have. I had discussed this with Zankye (check out his channel on YouTube as he does some very detailed testings, unboxings and review), since the taller ratchets increase the size of the Beyblade, they eventually get more prone to falling over when they are slower and those lose stamina and die. 

This makes me wonder why "Stamina" and "Defense" Beyblades usually come with taller ratchets because their stock combos would be poo poo.  The taller ratchets are also tighter fit with the blades and combining that with the tighter locks on aggressive bits like Tapered or Flat would make it much better on attack Beyblade combos perhaps. That is a topic that needs to be tested in the future.

Beyblade X parts analysis

 Hello community, I am back, and this time, I have with me some Beyblade X parts analysis. With Beyblade X being so new and the points being different than the original Beyblade Metal series or HMS series, I thought this might be a perfect time to do analysis. As per my good friend WBO Dan, X is a lot of fun but it also takes player control out in a strange way. You can be winning but then due to no fault of your own, a lucky hit can push the opponent bey to the rail and cause that bey to use the Xtreme dash and burst you or KO you. I feel that sentiment is very common so I thought maybe it would be worth to break down the parts and analyze them. Keep in mind that while I agree somewhat with the sentiment, there are some ways whereby you can control your fate.  Blades: 1. Hells Scythe: The "jack of all trades but master of none" blade. It has decent attack and usually shines in counter attack due to its good weight distribution. Due to its versatility (for both attack and def...

Brief Introduction to Beyblade X

Hello community It has been brought to my attention that it might be a good idea to make a beginner's guide to Beyblade X especially for a lot of new players or returning older players from previous generation. It was a valid point so I decided to make a beginner's guide. This is not a buyers guide because each individual has their own play style AND prices fluctuate since these Beyblades are being bought from Japan. Let's start with the basics: The stadium Unlike stadiums of the past that usually had 3 different zones for KO on 3 different sides, the new Beyblade X stadium has 3 zones but all on only 1 side. Additionally, there is a possibility of rebound. A rebound is when a Beyblade is knocked into a KO zone (or the extreme zone) but then comes back into the region of play. This rewards aggression because: 1) you do not have to worry about self KO as much because there is only one direction where the KO zones are located  2) There is a possibility of a highly fast moving...

Taking Sides: Whose side are you on anyways?

Hello community, I am back with some tests to see the performance of different blades with ratchets. I decided to do this test to see which ratchet and blade combo is ideal. To test, I used Needle bit because that sharp tip is the most sensitive to any weight balance differences. Please keep in mind, this test is NOT to see which beyblade combination is good. This is merely to see which ratchet has a better weight balance with what blade.  Methodology: Each blade was spun 3 times on Needle bit. Since this test was to test the weight balance of the blade and ratchet combo, I decided to go with Needle since its sharp tip makes it very sensitive to weight imbalance. Due to time constraints I only decided to spin each combo 3 times and took the average. However to make the results more accurate, a large sample size of 10 spins would be better. Since Dran Dagger, Hells Chain, Rhino Horn, and 5-80 were not available they were not included in this test. Results: Hells Scythe 3-60: Average...
