This is the only truly useful part of [[Wolborg]]. It is the successor to [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] in the sense that it has a free-spinning shaft supported by bearings. Unfortunately, in the trade-off of being able to replace the SG shell with a [[Left SG]] shell, you can only place one bearing in the shaft casing. [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] allowed for the placement of two. However, [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]] allow for the placement of two bearings.

Bearing Base is the important part of this Beyblade. The tip of the Bearing Base is [[free-spinning]]. Because of this, when the Beyblade is hit by an opposing Beyblade, it absorbs much of the damage and does not lose spin as easily. The shaft of Bearing Base is held in place by two bearings (one of the two is plastic, but it can be replaced by another metal one), an attribute shared only with [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]] [[Zeus]]. Because of these double bearings, Bearing Base can regain its balance quickly after being hit. The tip of this shaft is very sharp and made of a plastic that has low friction when compared to other tips. It is one of the best tips for [[survival]] Beyblades.

[[Hasbro]]'s Bearing Base has a slight but important difference. The tip of the Beyblade is slightly sharper and made out of a harder plastic, resulting in more [[survival]] potential, but substantially less [[defense]] potential.

An important trick to learn using the Bearing Base is that the shaft can be removed and put into the casing of [[Wolborg]]'s shaft. This will allow you to use Bearing Stinger's tip in [[5-layer]] combos, which affords you the advantage of using a left spin direction with this tip, along with using [[Wolborg 2]]'s BB. This can even be extended into making [[6-Layer]] combos, as the SG of [[Wolborg]] can be placed in [[Dragoon V2]]'s BB. Using this method, you can use Bearing Base's tip in conjunction with SP.

Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], [[spin-stealing]], and [[life after death]]. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] [[zombie]] combos.

Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.

After the release of [[Wolborg]] and [[Wolborg 2]], players had considerably more options when it came to building zombies. However, Bearing Base's tip was still a strong choice. Neither [[Wolborg]] nor [[Wolborg 2]]'s tips provide the same pure [[survival]] potential. Luckily, the casing for [[Wolborg]]'s shaft allowed the Bearing Base shaft to be exchanged with it. Unfortunately, the ability to use two bearings is lost.

Wolborg
Wolborg.jpg
Number: A-11
System: 5-Layer
Type: Survival

Attack Ring (AR): Reverse Wolf

  • Weight: 5 grams

Reverse Wolf has several projections that are facing counter-clockwise. However, these projections have very little effect. There is almost no use whatsoever for this AR.

Weight Disk (WD): 8-Balance

See 8-Balance.

Spin Gear (SG): Right (Bearing Version)

  • Weight: 6 grams

This is the only truly useful part of Wolborg. It is the successor to Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger in the sense that it has a free-spinning shaft supported by bearings. Unfortunately, in the trade-off of being able to replace the SG shell with a Left SG shell, you can only place one bearing in the shaft casing. Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger allowed for the placement of two. However, Burning Kerberus and Takara's Zeus allow for the placement of two bearings.

Mold Variations

Many players complain that Hasbro's tip of the shaft in the SG (Bearing Version) functions significantly differently from Takara's. Tests have shown that Hasbro's version is far more aggressive. This has been shown to have a correlation to the condition of the shaft and the fact that Takara's mold is considerably more pointed at the tip.

Placing Other Shafts in the SG (Bearing Version)

You can place the shaft of Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger's Bearing Base and Wolborg 2's SG (Bearing Version 2) inside the casing of SG (Bearing Version). However, the casing of SG (Bearing Version) and SG (Bearing Version 2) are identical; only the shaft itself is different.

Use in Second Generation Zombies

Originally, only Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger's Bearing Base was available for zombie use. However, SG (Bearing Version) became a serious choice for many players.

An example combo would be:

Use in Third Generation Zombies

An example combo would be:

= Use in Attack + Survival Customizations

Using SG (Bearing Version), you can build an attack + survival combo that can defeat many pure survival-types.

Blade Base (BB): SG Bearing Base

  • Weight: 10 grams

Because the SG is separate from the BB, there is very little that makes this BB noteworthy. For 5-Layer customization, Wolborg 2's Defense Grip Base 2 is generally a better choice to accompany SG (Bearing Version). For 6-Layer, Dragoon V2's Customize Grip Base will be the only choice.

Other Versions

Overall

Wolborg is an indispensable Beyblade only because of its SG (Bearing Version) part. Every player needs to own this part to compete seriously. Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.
