Dark Wolf DF145FS

Number: BB-29
System: Hybrid Wheel System
Type: Balance

Face: Wolf

The face on this Beyblade depicts Lupus, one of the 88 constellations in space.

Clear Wheel: Wolf

  • Weight: 3 grams

The original release of Wolf is a dark brown, translucent plastic wheel. The edges of the Clear Wheel consists of 4 wolf 'heads', one in each quarter of the clear wheel, representing the body form of a Wolf, the symbol its design is influenced by.

Metal Wheel: Dark

  • Weight: 31.4 grams

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: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient Smash Attack, while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient Stamina. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area, although Hasbro's Dark has been proven to have decent defense capabilities.

Track: Down Force 145

  • Weight: 3 grams

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. It is on par with 145 and AD145 in Stamina combinations, however both 85 and 230 are superior and see a more widespread use competitively. Thus, DF145 and other 145 Track-based Stamina customs–which perform poorly against both 85 and 230-based Stamina customs–have been outclassed.

Use in Stamina Customization

If the aforementioned parts aren't accessible, DF145 can still be put to good use in the custom, Burn Bull DF145SD.

Bottom: Flat Sharp

  • Weight: 0.6 grams

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.

Overall

Dark Wolf DF145FS is comprised of outclassed parts. There is little to no reason to purchase this Beyblade, aside from collection purposes.
