- This article is about Hasbro's QD Disc. For Takara Tomy's DB Disc, see Forge Disc - Tapered.
Tapered-Q is a Forge Disc released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the QuadDrive Starter Pack, Vanish Fafnir F7 Tapered-Q Xtend+-Q+Kick-3.
Description
Hasbro's Tapered-Q is a circular QD Disc based on Takara Tomy's Tapered. It retains the same diameter and downward sloping cone shape as its Takara Tomy counterpart, with the same high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and Stamina potential. However, like other QD Discs based on DB Discs, Tapered-Q is hollowed out on its underside when compared to its DB Disc counterpart, reducing its weight by 3 grams. Despite this, Tapered-Q is the heaviest QD Disc, and has the smallest weight difference with its DB Disc counterpart. As Tapered-Q is purely a weaker version of the original Tapered, there is no reason to use Tapered-Q over Tapered.
Overall
As a lighter version of its Takara Tomy counterpart, there is no reason to use Tapered-Q over the original Tapered.
As such, Tapered-Q is not recommended for the Burst Format.
Tapered-Q has a weight that is slightly below that of GT Discs in the format. Despite this, Tapered-Q's conical shape and heavy weight makes it an excellent Disc option for Stamina Combinations, particularly when paired with Drivers such as Bearing' and High Xtend+'.
As such, Tapered-Q is a must-have for the Burst GT Format.
Due to Tapered-Q's conical shape and heavy weight, it is an excellent Disc option for Stamina Combinations utilizing Drivers such as Bearing' and High Xtend+'. Its weight is comparable to Hasbro's Wheel-SP, as well as Core Discs paired with Disc Frames.
As such, Tapered-Q is a must-have for the Burst Limited Format.
Tapered-Q is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic Format.
