(Only for those who are interested. Thanks.)
In this 2nd Chapter, we will show you how to recognise 'weight zones' and finding the 'ultimate center' of your Beyblade parts.
2a. What are Weight Zones?
All Beyblade Metal Blades are different in Mold Shape and Overall Weights. There also different amount of Securing Pegs(BX/UX) and 'Y' Screws(UX/CX).
These all contributes to the imbalances on the Blade.
Recognising these Weight Zones will help you know which side of the Beyblade parts is heavier or more saturated.
2b. Orientation
BX and UX Metal Blades have 2 main orientations to determine their weight zones. 180 degrees from each other.
CX Main Blades have 3 orientation angles due to its Lock Chip slots that corresponds with their Assist Blades which also have weight zones. (In depth CX Tuning, in other future posts)
There is a simple lore we found to help standardize the orientation of the Metal Blades to help you in visualising the 'Ultimate Center' of the Blade.
2c. Ultimate Center (BX/UX Blades)
Locate the slot section that the White Part of the Ratchet will sit in, on the underside of the Blade.
Align the Ratchet Slot in the '\' position until the gaps form a straight line horizontally, this way you will be able to virtually separate the Blade section to a Top and Bottom Zone.
This line separating the Blade is the 'Ultimate Center'.
From here, the section with the most number of securing pegs or screws will be the heavier 'Weight Zone'.
In most cases, a 2 sided symmetrical Blade will not be equally weighted by design.
When the amount of Pegs and Screws are equal, flip the Metal Blade (BX/UX) over and observe which side has 2 Beylauncher prongs. The side with more prongs is the heavier 'Weight Zone'.
2d. Ultimate Center (CX Main and Assist Blades)
Begin by locating the embossed Alpha Numeric mold code on the UX Blade (Do note that some Blades may not have it or are hidden.)
Align the mold code horizontally so that you can read it normally. In this position, divide the Main Blade horizontally to get a Top and Bottom Zone.
Similar to the BX and UX Blades, the section with the most number of screws will be the heavier 'Weight Zone'.
(Coincidentally, side where the mold code is printed is also the heavier weight zones)
To find the 'Ultimate Center' of the Assist Blade, align the 'Ultimate Center' position and locate the Lock Chip slots with 'X' or '■' Blank marking.
That is the lighter Weight Zone side of the Assist Blade.
2e. Ultimate Center (Ratchets)
Firstly, put the Ratchet in the Final position when on the Blade.
Similar to the BX and UX Blades, align the white part of the Ratchet in the '\' position until the gaps between the 'Y' Screws form a straight line horizontally. Virtually divide the Top and Bottom Zones.
For Ratchets, the zone housing the Bit Lock Mechanism and Spring will be the heavier 'Weight Zone'.
In the next Chapter, we will show you how to use the knowledge of Weight Zones and Ultimate Center to Tune your ideal Stamina or Attack setup using the Blade (BX/UX), Main Blade (CX) and Ratchets.
See you in the next one.
- as long the Beyblade spins round, anything can happen.
Beyblade!
