<div>==Bull==<br />
[[Image:Bullwheel 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|Bull]]<br />
* '''Weight:''' 36 Grams<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' 45.22 Millimeters<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' 10.88 Millimeters<br />
Bull's Wheel was originally considered to be one of the most offensive MFB Wheels, yet it has been outclassed with the releases of Quetzalcoatl, Lightning and Ray. Due to the wings on the Metal Wheel (similar to that of Quetzalcoatl), it is best utilised in the combo Bull T125RF as a Smash Attacker.<br />

* '''Weight:''' 38 grams<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' 43.57 Millimeters<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' 8.97 Millimeters<br />
Leone's Wheel has been designed to be very compact although due to the high recoil of this wheel it has been outclassed for defensive purposes by Earth, Libra and even Rock. Due to the wheel's high recoil it has proved to have promise as an attack wheel and is best utilised in the [[Attack]] customizations MF Leone H145RF, MF Leone 145RF, or Leone 100RF as a Recoil attacker.<br />
<br />

==Libra==<br />
[[Image: 3Libra.JPG|thumb|120px|Libra]]<br />
'''NOTE: This Wheel is now ''banned'' under WBO Organized Play Official Rules.''' <br />
*'''Weight:''' 40.5 grams<br />
Libra's design is very circular, with numerous extremely small notches surrounding its perimeter. This, combined with its abnormally heavy weight in proportion to other Wheels, (of which, the heaviest is 5 grams lighter than Libra) make Libra the best [[Defense]]-oriented Wheel available, and by a wide margin. <br />
<br />
[[Image:8Libra.JPG|thumb|Old: Left, New: Right]]<br />
Libra has two different molds. The first mold was released in BB-18 Booster Libra DF145BS and BB-22 Bey Reshuffle Set Stamina & Defense Type, and the second in BB-25 [[Random Booster Vol.2 Legend Pisces]]. The second mold addressed breaking problems that the original mold faced by reinforcing the underside of four sections of the Wheel (pictured to the left). The performance of each mold varies from Wheel to Wheel; some are slightly heavier than others, which would make them better suited for [[Defense]] customizations, while lighter ones would be more effective in [[Survival | Stamina]] customs, the difference however is negligible. If you have both molds, be sure to test them individually and determine which one is best for certain situations.<br />

==Pegasis==<br />
[[Image:Pgsswheel 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|Current Pegasis]]<br />
[[Image:Pegasus.jpg|thumb|120px|Original Pegasis]]<br />
''Design change: The original design of Pegasiswas changed to the current design sometime before the launch of Metal Fight Beyblade. No official statement was made, but the Beyblade community has speculated that it was because of probable breakage problems with each section on the Wheel.''<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 36 Grams<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' Close Approximate 44.40 Millimeters<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' Close Approximate 12.16 Millimeters<br />
<br />
The Pegasis wheel was originally one of the strongest parts when the MFB lineup was originally released.<br />
Its original design appeared extremely offensive, but it was later changed to the above design (see above), which was better suited for stamina and defense.<br />
Although this bey has been outclassed by the likes of Quetzalcoatl and Ray it has found use in the Smash attack customisation MF Pegasis 145RF due to the space between the protrusions.<br />
<br />

==Sagittario==<br />
[[Image:Sgtowheel 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|Sagittario]]<br />
The Sagitario wheel is generally round with two large crescent shaped sides with another two small spaces inbetween. It has been severly outclassed by the likes of [[Burn Phoenix 135MS#Metal Wheel: Burn | Burn]] , [[Flame Sagittario C145S#Metal Wheel: Flame | Flame]] and even [[Earth Aquila 145WD#Metal Wheel: Earth|Earth]] as a [[Survival]] wheel. Saggitario has some significant smash attack and can successfully utilise its high recoil to score some spectacular KO's.<br />

<br />
==Virgo==<br />
[[Image:Virgo3.jpg|thumb|120px|Virgo]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 37 grams<br />
Virgo is one of the most smooth, circular Wheels currently available. Its circular shape is composed of two large, and long slopes which connect with each other to form the circle; however, despite their appearance, they don't offer any effective [[Upper Attack]]. These properties lend themselves well to [[Survival | Stamina]], and despite its relatively average weight in comparison to other Wheels, Virgo has found its place among the best Stamina-based Wheels currently available.<br />
<br />
One very important thing to note is the different mold variations that have been discovered for Virgo. Just looking at the Wheels themselves, it is impossible to tell what the actual difference in the mold is. However, through testing, it has been determined that there is balance issues that certain Virgo Wheels encounter. Some of them have been reported not having a solo spin time above three minutes while others are able to spin for over five minutes. The disparities between the Virgo Wheels cannot be ignored, so it is encouraged to test your Virgo Wheel by itself before using it in a competitive situation.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Dark==<br />
[[Image:05DarkBull.JPG|thumb|120px|Dark]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams<br />
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways, as its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]]; while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area, resulting in poor defensive capabilities.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Dark Bull H145SD]], [[Dark Cancer CH120SF]], [[Dark Wolf DF145FS]]<br />
<br />
==Earth==<br />
[[Image:10EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|120px|Earth (Second Mold)]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 33.1 grams<br />
Earth has four thick, textured wings surrounding its perimeter, with each pair facing each other on a slight incline. The space created between the wings is quite small, and the resulting effect is the same of any Wheel that has no spaces, low recoil. Its smooth, circular design and low recoil make it one of the best, if not the best, [[Defense]]-oriented wheel currently available for competitive play. Earth Virgo GB145BS comes with the second mold of Earth.<br />
<br />
Earth has two different molds. The first mold was released in BB-47 Starter Earth Aquila 145WD, and the second in both the purple WBBA "Event Special" MF Earth Aquila 105HF/S, and SonoKong manufactured Earth Metal Wheels. However, TAKARA-TOMY has since ceased production on the first mold, thus making it a difficult part to obtain. The second mold addressed breaking problems that the original mold faced by modifying the inside of each of Earth's wings. The new mold is up to three grams heavier than the old mold (30-31 grams versus 33 grams on the new mold), which makes it significantly more effective for [[Defense]] customizations. Therefore, the new mold is the preferred choice for Defense customs using Earth, while the original mold would be the best for [[Survival | Stamina]].<br />

<br />
==Flame==<br />
[[Image:05FlameLibra.JPG|thumb|120px|Flame]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams<br />
Flame is predominantly circular, with two small spikes and two additional smaller gaps on its circumference. The Wheel is relatively thin throughout, with the very edge of the Wheel being slightly thicker. Due to the design of Flame where the Wheel’s perimeter is raised slightly, more of the Track below is exposed compared to other Wheels, hence making it easier for other Beyblades to strike its Track. This significantly reduces its [[Defense]] capabilities. But, with its round shape, Flame is still currently a top-tier [[Survival | Stamina]] part.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Flame Libra T125ES]], [[Flame Sagittario C145S]]<br />
<br />
==Killer==<br />
[[Image:KillerGemios22.jpg|thumb|120px|Killer]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 31.2 grams<br />
Like its Metal System predecessor [[Gemios DF145FS | Gemios]], Killer has a textured, bumpy, two-winged design that ends in two rounded edges. However, unlike its predecessor, it is considerably thinner even with a smaller amount of metal dropping below the base of the Wheel. Being so thin, the edges of each wing do not apply as much force as those of the Gemios Metal Wheel; as a result, Killer loses any of the potential [[Smash Attack]] the first incarnation had. <br />
<br />
Being so thin negates any possible defensive qualities, and though it may seem suited for [[Survival | Stamina]], it has shown no advantage over any of the top-tier [[Survival | Stamina]] Wheels like [[Thermal Pisces T125ES#Metal Wheel: Thermal | Thermal]], [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]], [[Earth Aquila 145WD#Metal Wheel: Earth | Earth]], or even [[Burn Phoenix 135MS#Metal Wheel: Burn | Burn]].<br />

<br />
==Lightning==<br />
[[Image:006LLDrago.JPG|thumb|120px|Lightning]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 30 grams<br />
This Wheel is characterized by its asymmetrical shape. Of the total six protrusions, three are of the ‘Upper Mode’ and three are of the ‘Multi-Hit mode’. To switch between these modes, the Blader would need to disassemble their Beyblade and rotate the L.Drago Clear Wheel 180°. Of the two available modes it is widely considered that ‘Upper Mode’ is superior. Contrary to the name, the strength of this wheel doesn’t come from [[Upper Attack]], but [[Smash Attack]]. Lightning does suffer from some recoil, but this problem can easily be rectified with both MF and RF. Paired with the right Track Lightning can provide a ferocious Smash Attack.<br />
<br />
A current top-tier [[Attack]] combo is ''MF Lightning L Drago CH120RF (Upper Mode)''. MF and RF help reduce the recoil Lightning experiences, and CH120 allows you to switch heights to accommodate the Beyblade you are facing. If you are facing a higher Beyblade using a 145 Track, use CH120 at the 145 height, or if you are facing a lower Beyblade with D125, use CH120 at the 120 height. Doing this allows the Lightning Metal Wheel make the most contact possible with the opposing Wheel, rather than the Track.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Lightning L Drago 100HF]]<br />
<br />
==Rock==<br />
[[Image:002RockLeone.jpg|thumb|120px|Rock]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams<br />
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original [[Leone 145D | Leone]] Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent. <br />
<br />
Rock is currently the second heaviest Hybrid Wheel System Wheel to date. However, as a [[Defense]] type, it is unable to match the qualities of Metal Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel. <br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Rock Leone 145WB]]<br />
<br />
==Storm==<br />
[[Image:03StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|120px|Storm]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 30.4 grams<br />
The main shape of Storm consists of three wing like forms, which are used for considerable [[Smash Attack]]. The wheel is a cheaper alternative for that of [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]], and is considered by many to be inferior to the [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning]] Metal Wheel.<br />
<br />
Storm Pegasis 100RF however is still a top tier [[Attack]] combo, due to a decent level of [[Smash Attack]] ability from the Storm Wheel. The slightly jagged end of each of the three wing like forms that Storm consists of are well suited for Smash. Quetzalcoatl how ever is still a far more consistent Attack wheel.<br />

<div>==Bull==<br />
[[Image:Bullwheel 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|Bull]]<br />
* '''Weight:''' 36 Grams<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' 45.22 Millimeters<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' 10.88 Millimeters<br />
Bull's Wheel was originally considered to be one of the most offensive MFB Wheels, yet it is nothing in comparison to wheels such as Quetlcoatl and Storm. As it has become so outdated as an Attack Wheel, it should be considered only for collection purposes.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Bull 125SF]]<br />
<br />
==Leone==<br />
[[Image:Leowheel 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|Leone]]<br />
* '''Weight:''' 38 grams<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' 43.57 Millimeters<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' 8.97 Millimeters<br />
Leone's Wheel has been designed to be very compact and is currently one of the heaviest wheels at 38 grams (coming in second only to Libra, which is 43 grams). Because of its heavy weight, its Defensive ability is quite high and it is not very easily knocked around and is able to outspin or deflect most opponents the majority of the time. Leone's Wheel is one of the top choices for Endurance type customizations, however it is closely matched by [[Pegasis 105F | Pegasis]] in that regard.<br />
<br />
Leone's potential as a compact Beyblade presently untapped, but if a Track similar to the [[Spin_Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | HMC]] from the [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic generation]] is released in the future, this may be changed.<br />

Its original design appeared extremely offensive, but it was later changed to the above design (see above), which was better suited for stamina and defense. The Pegasis wheel has since been vastly bettered by multiple wheels for both defensive and stamina purposes, leaving little reason to buy this blade other than for collectors purposes.<br />

<br />
==100==<br />
[[Image:08LLDrago.JPG|thumb|120px|100 Track]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1.0 grams<br />
100 is currently the third lowest Track available. Its low height allows [[Attack]]-based Wheels such as [[Storm Pegasis 105RF | Storm]] to make good contact with opposing Tracks and Wheels. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
==105==<br />
[[Image:08StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|120px|105 Track]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1.0 grams<br />
105 is the third shortest Track to be released, and has been released multiple times. Although 90 and 100 have been proven to be better options for most [[Attack]] types, 105 is still a decent option if the aforementioned Tracks are unavailable.<br />
<br />
Beybalde: [[Pegasis 105F]], [[Storm Pegasis 105RF]]<br />
<br />
==CH120: Change 120==<br />
[[Image:06darkcancer.jpg|thumb|120px|CH120]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 2.7 grams<br />
CH120 is unique as it features a height-changing gimmick. The user is allowed a choice of using 120 or 145 as the Track's height. This is done by rotating the bottom portion of the Track and pulling/pushing the central part out/in, and then rotating the bottom portion back to lock the height. Importantly, this can be done between each round of a match, as it does not involve any part-swapping.<br />
<br />
The advantages of this Track are plentiful. Its most obvious benefit is allowing the user to change the height of their Beyblade between rounds; this means that the user can adapt their strategy to counter the opponents during a match. CH120 is currently the only Track featuring a 120 height. This height is useful for many [[Attack]] types.<br />
<br />
Due to its weight in comparison to other 145 Tracks and lack of protrusions likely to produce recoil, CH120 has some uses with regard to [[Defense]] customizations.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Dark Cancer CH120SF]]<br />
<br />
==125==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 1.0 grams<br />
[[Image:Bulltrack 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|125]]<br />
The 125 Track serves as a midway between the 105 and the 145 Tracks. Use it when you're having trouble with scraping on the Stadium floor and want to give your Beyblade more leeway to wobble. Aside from that, its usefulness will likely depend on the opponent you are fighting against.<br />

<br />
==T125: Tornado 125==<br />
[[Image:07FlameLibra.JPG|thumb|120px|T125]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams<br />
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces is negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Flame Libra T125ES]]<br />
<br />
==145==<br />
[[Image:007EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|120px|145]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1.5 grams<br />
145 is the highest Track available, along with the various other 145-variants (C145, DF145, etc.). It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its spin velocity, but that being said, DF145 has this same effect but also the added bonus of its “Down Force” which while negligible, stabilizes the Beyblade it is being used on slightly. 145, being as tall as makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because normally Stamina types are not used against Attack types.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Earth Aquila 145WD]], [[Leone 145D]], [[Rock Leone 145WB]], [[Sagittario 145S]]<br />
<br />
==C145: Claw 145==<br />
[[Image:09FlameSagittario.JPG|thumb|120px|C145 Track]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 3.2 grams<br />
C145 has three wings which extend outwards, each separately joined onto the underside of the Track. These are free moving, and hence when the Beyblade is launched, these point outwards due to spin velocity. Their free moving nature make them very effective for defensive purposes, as they are able to withstand low hits to the Track without significant spin loss. Furthermore, the Track is significantly heavier than non-gimmicked Tracks such as 145, providing extra weight essential for [[Defense]]. As such, the Track is an essential part for current Defense customizations.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Flame Sagittario C145S]]<br />
<br />
==DF145: Down Force 145==<br />
[[Image:Virgo5.jpg|thumb|120px|DF145]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 3 grams<br />
DF145 has four upward facing wings protruding from the top of the Track, which aside from giving it extra weight are meant to push air downwards. While the effects of the wings themselves may be negligible, they likely do help stabilize the Beyblade they are being used on to some capacity. This capability makes it quite useful for [[Survival | Stamina]] customs, where staying balanced and retaining spin is of utmost importance. The wings can also help protect from low, 90 or 100 based Attackers, but to a much lesser extent than something like C145.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Dark Wolf DF145FS]], [[Killer Gemios DF145FS]], [[Virgo DF145BS]]<br />
<br />
==ED145: Eternal Defense 145==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 3.6 grams<br />
[[Image:ED145.jpg|thumb|120px|ED145]]<br />
ED145 features three “wings” which rotate around the Track freely. The wings are similar to that of WD145. Because of their free-spinning nature, they can be used in Defense customisations, such as ''MF Libra ED145WB''; however, the defensive capabilities of this part are not as effective as C145, as it does not absorb hits as successfully. The wings which rotate are hindered without the mechanism of a bearing, hence creating a force of friction between the wings and the body of the Track, in turn resulting in less significant damage absorption. Furthermore, it is easy for the low attacker’s Wheel to be caught between the Wheel and ED145, hence causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction to the [[Defense]] customization.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Clay Aries ED145B]]<br />
<br />
==GB145: Gravity Bowl 145==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 4.5 grams<br />
GB145 is a wide, round track featuring two free moving metal balls. These balls move toward the outside of the track while spinning, causing some additional spin retaining force. Weighing in at 4.5 grams, GB145 is currently the second heaviest track available, and as such is extremely useful in [[Defense]] customizations. Because it lacks energy-absorbing free spinning wings, it is not as effective as [[Flame Sagittario C145S | C145]] against low attackers such as [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]] 90RF.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Earth Virgo GB145BS]]<br />
<br />
==H145: Horn 145 (First Mold)==<br />
[[Image:10DarkBull.JPG|thumb|120px|H145 (First Mold)]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 4 grams<br />
H145 has two wings with two various protrusions, representing the horns of a Bull surrounding its perimeter. These four points are meant to provide [[Smash Attack]], and they do succeed on some levels. However, because the horns are so pronounced, and because the gaps between the wings are so wide, significant recoil is produced, especially when used in combination with small Metal Wheels that allow the Horns to extend well past the perimeter of the Wheel.<br />
<br />
While H145 may not be an entirely noteworthy part as far as competitive customizations go, it is still quite a fun part to play with. You can score many impressive KO's with the recoil it produces in the first few seconds of a battle, but at the same time, this recoil does work against you in some battles, causing a self-KO or if not, a severe loss of [[Survival | Stamina]].<br />

*'''Weight:''' 4.3 grams<br />
H145 has two different molds. The first version's wings were not reinforced in anyway, so they were prone to breakages in some cases. The second mold which was brought into production a couple months after it was originally released rectified this problem by reinforcing the wings with a significant amount of plastic between the inside of the wings and the outside of the Track. This increased the weight of the Track to 4.3 grams, only .2 grams lighter than the second heaviest Track, GB145. The increased weight not only reduces breakages, but it also marginally helps reduce the recoil it produces.<br />

<div>==B: Ball==<br />
[[Image:Clay_Aries_B.jpg|thumb|120px|B: Ball]]<br />
The Bottom Ball’s tip is, as its name suggests, shaped like a ball. This semi-spherical shape provides a large area for the Bottom to make contact with the Stadium floor; hence increasing friction and making it more difficult to knockout. B’s shape also makes it likely to stay in the central areas of the Stadium, hence maximizing the customization’s distance from the Stadium exits. B is therefore suitable for defensive purposes, although has been outclassed in such a field with the release of WB. One advantage it holds over Wide Ball is that it has more [[Survival | Stamina]], and does not require a weakened launch; B can be used if WB is not available.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Clay Aries ED145B]]<br />
<br />
==WB: Wide Ball==<br />
[[Image:06RockLeone.jpg|thumb|120px|WB: Wide Ball]]<br />
WB is essentially B, with a larger spherical surface, hence “wide”. As a result, it is seen as an improvement over B in terms of Defensive qualities. This is because of the greater surface area in contact with the Stadium floor at any one time.<br />
However, because of this wider contact area, the Bottom also causes more movement compared to B. This is disadvantageous when facing an [[Attack]] type, because the [[Defense]] customization is closer to the Stadium exits, hence increasing the likelihood of a KO. To prevent this, many launch WB-based customizations at about 60-70% power, meaning that the Beyblade itself stays in the centre, while retaining the defensive qualities of WB.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Rock Leone 145WB]]<br />
<br />
==D: Defense==<br />
[[Image:Leobottom 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|D: Defense]]<br />
This is a Defense Bottom, which acts as a wider version of a Sharp tip. When hit by an opponent, a Beyblade with this Bottom will have lessened recoil and will recover from attacks more efficiently than a Sharp Tip. However, while recovering, the Defense Bottom will cause the Beyblade to lose some stamina, caused by the added friction.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Leone 145D]]<br />

<br />
==SD: Semi-Defense==<br />
[[Image:11DarkBull.JPG|thumb|120px|SD: Semi-Defense]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 0.5 grams<br />
Just as the Semi-Flat Bottom has a sharper tip than Flat, so too does Semi-Defense when compared to Defense. Before the release of SD, D was the absolute best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottom available, but SD quickly took over the top spot.<br />
<br />
SD is not able to wobble as much as D, so for defensive purposes, D should still be chosen over SD if you are trying to add some Stamina to your Defense custom. That being said, WD would be a better choice than D for that situation, and also arguably for Stamina as well because with the even wider tip. With it, it is allowed to circle the stadium in some situations when it is on a larger angle towards the end of a battle, thus outspinning D or SD based opponents. However, sometimes this does not happen, and SD easily knocks over the wobbling WD custom before it topples over itself.<br />
<br />
It really comes down to personal preference when deciding whether to use SD or WD because they are so closely matched. For pure Stamina it impossible to tell which would win a given match, but WD would prepare you for more situations by being able to take hits better than SD. Test both and decide for yourself which one works best for what you are trying to do.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Dark Bull H145SD]]<br />
<br />
==WD: Wide Defense==<br />
[[Image:8EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|120px|WD: Wide Defense]]<br />
Wide Defense, as its name implies is the widest of the “Defense” series of Bottoms (D, SD, and now WD). This brings numerous advantages, but also some disadvantages when compared to the other “Defense” Bottoms. Because of its massive width that reaches the edge of the Bottom's perimeter, it is able to wobble at a significantly larger angle for a longer period of time than D or SD, and at a much lower spin rate. This can be advantageous in many battles, particularly those between two [[Survival | Stamina]] types when they are about to topple over; however, if you happen to have a weaker shot than your opponent who is using something such as [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]] DF145SD, WDs low spin rate towards the end of the battle will make it extremely easy for the opponent to knock it completely over. This low spin rate towards the end of the battle is created because in the process of wobbling at such a large angle, more friction is made with the stadium floor, thus decreasing its Stamina. This is all avoidable however if your shot is at least as powerful as your opponent, as the extra time it is able to spin on an angle will allow you to narrowly outspin your D or SD based opponent.<br />
<br />
WD has significant defensive capabilities as well, but because it still uses a form of sharp tip, its friction with the stadium floor is decreased, which as a result makes it easier to knock around than something like WB which has much more friction with the stadium floor. WD does of course offer superior Stamina to WB which in rare cases would be an advantage, but WB more often than not has enough Stamina to outlast [[Attack]] types.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Earth Aquila 145WD]]<br />
<br />
==S: Sharp==<br />
[[Image:Sgtobottom 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|S: Sharp]]<br />
The Sharp Bottom offers very little movement and as such gives no attack potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, the Bottom is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by superior alternatives such as D or SD.<br />
<br />

<br />
==BS: Ball Sharp==<br />
[[Image: 7Libra.JPG|thumb|120px|BS: Ball Sharp]]<br />
BSs performance is quite similar to that of S. BS offers very little movement and as such gives no [[Attack]] potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. BS has decent [[Survival | Stamina]], but because the tip is so fine, it experiences the same balance issues that S does. Both D and SD are much better choices.<br />
<br />

<br />
==ES: Eternal Sharp==<br />
[[Image:10FlameLibra.JPG|thumb|120px|ES: Eternal Sharp]]<br />
Eternal Sharp features a free-spinning tip attached to a metal shaft which is held by the Bottom. The part was one of the most heavily anticipated parts in the MFB lineup when first announced, but ES is actually a hugely disappointing part in terms of performance.<br />
<br />
Firstly, ES lacks a metal bearing, which would significantly reduce the friction between the free-spinning tip and the rest of the Bottom. All of the best free-spinning tips, notably [[Wolborg MS#Running Core (RC): Bearing Core | Bearing Core]], had NSK Shield bearings which allowed unhindered spin.<br />
<br />
Secondly, the tip shape of ES is not conducive to maximum [[Survival | Stamina]]; the sharp nature of the Bottom means it is easily destabilized. As all Sharp tips do, Eternal Sharp also has trouble regaining balance, hence making this a poor choice for Stamina. That said, ES still remains superior to BS and S as Stamina Bottoms.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Flame Libra T125ES]]<br />
<br />
==FS: Flat Sharp==<br />
[[Image:FS.jpg|thumb|120px|FS: Flat Sharp]]<br />
FS features a flat tip with a smaller, sharper tip in the centre. As a result, when launched at a straight angle, the Beyblade spins on this sharp tip, with very little movement. However, when tilted, either from the contact of an opposing Beyblade or from the launch, the Bottom moves in an offensive pattern. However, it suffers from the same problems as other Balance Bottoms, in that the two qualities are compromised, resulting in mediocre performance in both fields.<br />
<br />

==F: Flat==<br />
[[Image:Pgssbottom 800x600.jpg|thumb|120px|F: Flat]]<br />
The Flat Bottom has a flat tip, which gives it an offensive movement pattern. It is the equivalent of Flat Core (HMS) or SG Flat (Plastic).<br />

<br />
==SF: Semi-Flat==<br />
[[Image:09darkcancer.jpg|thumb|120px| SF: Semi-Flat]]<br />
This tip is Semi-Flat. It gives your Beyblade a semi-aggressive movement pattern. Because of the extra friction, this Bottom will give you increased Defense over the Sharp and Defense Bottoms. The downside is that it will decrease your Endurance and cause your Beyblade to move around more, possibly putting it in the line of fire of an Attack type. It really does balance your statistics out quite a bit, and this is why a Semi-Flat tip is usually used in Balance type Beyblades.<br />
<br />
Beyblade: [[Bull 125SF]], [[Dark Cancer CH120SF]]<br />
<br />
==RF: Rubber Flat==<br />
[[Image:07StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|120px|RF: Rubber Flat]]<br />
RF, as its name implies has a flat, hard rubber tip, with a small indentation on the base of the tip. Its tip has just about the same width as WF, and is the second highest Bottom next to HF/S, which makes the shortest Track, 90, particularly useful in combination with this part.<br />
<br />
By using its wide surface area and rubber material, the Bottom has a large amount of traction against the stadium floor, resulting in a such a fast and powerful attack pattern that it often renders itself useless by self-KOing the Beyblade it is being used on. Part of the blame for this problem can be put on the poor Tornado Ridge of the Attack Stadium, but the fact remains that RF was designed long after the release of the Attack Stadium, and should be able to maintain itself within it. To alleviate this problem it is recommended that you never use a brand new RF in any sort of competitive situation, as its likelihood of self-KOing is much higher; wear it down a little with some practice battles first. When this is done, the rapid movement of RF may subside slightly, but it becomes more controllable, and thus, more useful.<br />
<br />
The use of rubber and the friction it creates with the stadium floor does lower its [[Survival | Stamina]] in comparison to plastic flat tips such as F and WF, but this is usually not a problem as an [[Attack]] types goal is to KO the other Beyblade, and it also helps reduce the recoil of violent wheels such as [[Sagittario 145S | Sagittario]].<br />

Beyblade: [[Storm Pegasis 105RF]]<br />
<br />
==HF: Hole Flat==<br />
[[Image:0009LLDrago.JPG|thumb|120px|HF: Hole Flat]]<br />
HF has a very similar movement speed to that of F, with the main difference being a slight [[Survival | Stamina]] improvement due to the hole in the middle of the tip. But, with this comes the detriment of even less grip to the stadium floor than F, and also increased fragility.<br />

[[Image:03WindAquario.JPG|thumb|120px|HF/S (Sharp Mode)]]<br />
[[Image:04WindAquario.JPG|thumb|120px|HF/S (Hole Flat Mode)]]<br />
HF/S is the tallest Bottom to date. HF/S’ gimmick is mode-change. The idea behind the mode-change is potent as it allows users to adapt their strategy between rounds, so that they can adjust their type to counter their opponents. The user is able to change the tip manually between Hole Flat, and Sharp, by rotating the lower portion of the Bottom:<br />
<br />
----<br />
*'''Sharp Mode:'''<br />
There is balance problems associated with the Sharp Mode because of its height, and also just because it is a Sharp tip, which always have poor balance. There is no reason to choose this over Bottoms such as D, SD, or WD.<br />
<br />
*'''Hole Flat Mode:'''<br />
Compared to the original HF Bottom, the HF of HF/S is much wider to accommodate enough space for the Sharp Bottom to fit through when changed. It is just as wide as WF, and as a result, is one of the fastest moving Bottoms available aside from RF. Its usefulness in traditional low Attack customizations is somewhat hindered by it being the tallest Bottom released to date, but the speed is still there, so it does have use.<br />
----<br />
<br />
Currently there are no competitive customizations utilizing HF/S, but it is an interesting Bottom to experiment with.<br />

[[Image:Leobottom 800x600.jpg|thumb|D: Defense]]<br />
This is a Defense Bottom, which acts as a wider version of a Sharp tip. When hit by an opponent, a Beyblade with this Bottom will have lessened recoil and will recover from attacks more efficiently than a Sharp Tip. However, while recovering, the Defense Bottom will cause the Beyblade to lose some stamina, caused by the added friction.<br />

==SD: Semi-Defense==<br />
[[Image:11DarkBull.JPG|thumb|SD: Semi-Defense]]<br />
*'''Weight:''' 0.5 grams<br />
Just as the Semi-Flat Bottom has a sharper tip than Flat, so too does Semi-Defense when compared to Defense. Before the release of SD, D was the absolute best [[Survival | Stamina]] Bottom available, but SD quickly took over the top spot.<br />
<br />
SD is not able to wobble as much as D, so for defensive purposes, D should still be chosen over SD if you are trying to add some Stamina to your Defense custom. That being said, WD would be a better choice than D for that situation, and also arguably for Stamina as well because with the even wider tip. With it, it is allowed to circle the stadium in some situations when it is on a larger angle towards the end of a battle, thus outspinning D or SD based opponents. However, sometimes this does not happen, and SD easily knocks over the wobbling WD custom before it topples over itself.<br />
<br />
It really comes down to personal preference when deciding whether to use SD or WD because they are so closely matched. For pure Stamina it impossible to tell which would win a given match, but WD would prepare you for more situations by being able to take hits better than SD. Test both and decide for yourself which one works best for what you are trying to do.<br />

==WD: Wide Defense==<br />
[[Image:8EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|WD: Wide Defense]]<br />
Wide Defense, as its name implies is the widest of the “Defense” series of Bottoms (D, SD, and now WD). This brings numerous advantages, but also some disadvantages when compared to the other “Defense” Bottoms. Because of its massive width that reaches the edge of the Bottom's perimeter, it is able to wobble at a significantly larger angle for a longer period of time than D or SD, and at a much lower spin rate. This can be advantageous in many battles, particularly those between two [[Survival | Stamina]] types when they are about to topple over; however, if you happen to have a weaker shot than your opponent who is using something such as [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]] DF145SD, WDs low spin rate towards the end of the battle will make it extremely easy for the opponent to knock it completely over. This low spin rate towards the end of the battle is created because in the process of wobbling at such a large angle, more friction is made with the stadium floor, thus decreasing its Stamina. This is all avoidable however if your shot is at least as powerful as your opponent, as the extra time it is able to spin on an angle will allow you to narrowly outspin your D or SD based opponent.<br />
<br />
WD has significant defensive capabilities as well, but because it still uses a form of sharp tip, its friction with the stadium floor is decreased, which as a result makes it easier to knock around than something like WB which has much more friction with the stadium floor. WD does of course offer superior Stamina to WB which in rare cases would be an advantage, but WB more often than not has enough Stamina to outlast [[Attack]] types.<br />

==S: Sharp==<br />
[[Image:Sgtobottom 800x600.jpg|thumb|S: Sharp]]<br />
The Sharp Bottom offers very little movement and as such gives no attack potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, the Bottom is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by superior alternatives such as D or SD.<br />

==BS: Ball Sharp==<br />
[[Image: 7Libra.JPG|thumb|BS: Ball Sharp]]<br />
BSs performance is quite similar to that of S. BS offers very little movement and as such gives no [[Attack]] potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. BS has decent [[Survival | Stamina]], but because the tip is so fine, it experiences the same balance issues that S does. Both D and SD are much better choices.<br />

==ES: Eternal Sharp==<br />
[[Image:10FlameLibra.JPG|thumb|ES: Eternal Sharp]]<br />
Eternal Sharp features a free-spinning tip attached to a metal shaft which is held by the Bottom. The part was one of the most heavily anticipated parts in the MFB lineup when first announced, but ES is actually a hugely disappointing part in terms of performance.<br />
<br />
Firstly, ES lacks a metal bearing, which would significantly reduce the friction between the free-spinning tip and the rest of the Bottom. All of the best free-spinning tips, notably [[Wolborg MS#Running Core (RC): Bearing Core | Bearing Core]], had NSK Shield bearings which allowed unhindered spin.<br />
<br />
Secondly, the tip shape of ES is not conducive to maximum [[Survival | Stamina]]; the sharp nature of the Bottom means it is easily destabilized. As all Sharp tips do, Eternal Sharp also has trouble regaining balance, hence making this a poor choice for Stamina. That said, ES still remains superior to BS and S as Stamina Bottoms.<br />

==FS: Flat Sharp==<br />
[[Image:FS.jpg|thumb|FS: Flat Sharp]]<br />
FS features a flat tip with a smaller, sharper tip in the centre. As a result, when launched at a straight angle, the Beyblade spins on this sharp tip, with very little movement. However, when tilted, either from the contact of an opposing Beyblade or from the launch, the Bottom moves in an offensive pattern. However, it suffers from the same problems as other Balance Bottoms, in that the two qualities are compromised, resulting in mediocre performance in both fields.<br />

==F: Flat==<br />
[[Image:Pgssbottom 800x600.jpg|thumb|F: Flat]]<br />
The Flat Bottom has a flat tip, which gives it an offensive movement pattern. It is the equivalent of Flat Core (HMS) or SG Flat (Plastic).<br />

==SF: Semi-Flat==<br />
[[Image:09darkcancer.jpg|thumb| SF: Semi-Flat]]<br />
This tip is Semi-Flat. It gives your Beyblade a semi-aggressive movement pattern. Because of the extra friction, this Bottom will give you increased Defense over the Sharp and Defense Bottoms. The downside is that it will decrease your Endurance and cause your Beyblade to move around more, possibly putting it in the line of fire of an Attack type. It really does balance your statistics out quite a bit, and this is why a Semi-Flat tip is usually used in Balance type Beyblades.<br />

==RF: Rubber Flat==<br />
[[Image:07StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|RF: Rubber Flat]]<br />
RF, as its name implies has a flat, hard rubber tip, with a small indentation on the base of the tip. Its tip has just about the same width as WF, and is the second highest Bottom next to HF/S, which makes the shortest Track, 90, particularly useful in combination with this part.<br />
<br />
By using its wide surface area and rubber material, the Bottom has a large amount of traction against the stadium floor, resulting in a such a fast and powerful attack pattern that it often renders itself useless by self-KOing the Beyblade it is being used on. Part of the blame for this problem can be put on the poor Tornado Ridge of the Attack Stadium, but the fact remains that RF was designed long after the release of the Attack Stadium, and should be able to maintain itself within it. To alleviate this problem it is recommended that you never use a brand new RF in any sort of competitive situation, as its likelihood of self-KOing is much higher; wear it down a little with some practice battles first. When this is done, the rapid movement of RF may subside slightly, but it becomes more controllable, and thus, more useful.<br />
<br />
The use of rubber and the friction it creates with the stadium floor does lower its [[Survival | Stamina]] in comparison to plastic flat tips such as F and WF, but this is usually not a problem as an [[Attack]] types goal is to KO the other Beyblade, and it also helps reduce the recoil of violent wheels such as [[Sagittario 145S | Sagittario]].<br />

==HF: Hole Flat==<br />
[[Image:0009LLDrago.JPG|thumb|HF: Hole Flat]]<br />
HF has a very similar movement speed to that of F, with the main difference being a slight [[Survival | Stamina]] improvement due to the hole in the middle of the tip. But, with this comes the detriment of even less grip to the stadium floor than F, and also increased fragility.<br />

[[Image:03WindAquario.JPG|thumb|HF/S (Sharp Mode)]]<br />
[[Image:04WindAquario.JPG|thumb|HF/S (Hole Flat Mode)]]<br />
HF/S is the tallest Bottom to date. HF/S’ gimmick is mode-change. The idea behind the mode-change is potent as it allows users to adapt their strategy between rounds, so that they can adjust their type to counter their opponents. The user is able to change the tip manually between Hole Flat, and Sharp, by rotating the lower portion of the Bottom:<br />
<br />
----<br />
*'''Sharp Mode:'''<br />
There is balance problems associated with the Sharp Mode because of its height, and also just because it is a Sharp tip, which always have poor balance. There is no reason to choose this over Bottoms such as D, SD, or WD.<br />
<br />
*'''Hole Flat Mode:'''<br />
Compared to the original HF Bottom, the HF of HF/S is much wider to accommodate enough space for the Sharp Bottom to fit through when changed. It is just as wide as WF, and as a result, is one of the fastest moving Bottoms available aside from RF. Its usefulness in traditional low Attack customizations is somewhat hindered by it being the tallest Bottom released to date, but the speed is still there, so it does have use.<br />
----<br />
<br />
Currently there are no competitive customizations utilizing HF/S, but it is an interesting Bottom to experiment with.<br />
