Swipe is a Forge Disc released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the HyperSphere System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the HyperSphere Starter Pack, Royal Genesis G5 Swipe Hybrid-H.
Description
Hasbro's Swipe is a Forge Disc based on Takara Tomy's Disc Integrated Driver Hybrid. As such, it retains the symmetrical design and detailing of Hybrid. The design of Swipe is very similar to the 8 and 8' Core Discs, with similar Outward Weight Distribution (OWD). However, unlike these two Core Discs, Swipe does not have gaps akin to Knuckle.
Like all HyperSphere Forge Discs, the underside is hollowed out, reducing its weight to the standard 20 grams of HyperSphere Forge Discs. Thus, Swipe is a strictly inferior version of the aforementioned Core Discs. Like all HyperSphere Forge Discs and Core Discs, Swipe can use a Disc Frame.
Overall
Swipe is too light to be competitive in the current metagame, as it has subsequently been outclassed by later releases in the Superking Layer System and onward, such as Wheel and Over.
As such, Swipe is recommended for collection purposes only.
Like all of Hasbro's HyperSphere Forge Discs, Swipe is too light at 20 grams, being outclassed by Core Discs such as 8', and 00.
As such, Swipe is recommended for collection purposes only.
