Press (プレス, Puresu) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-37 Booster, Kaiser Kerbeus Limited Press, on April 2nd, 2016. It later debuted in western countries with the release of Hasbro's Starter Pack, Kerbeus K2 Limited Press.
Description
Press features a ball-shaped tip, much like Defense, but differs by having four significantly wider tabs around its tip compared to Defense's. In theory, these tabs will force the Beyblade back into an upright position after being knocked off balance and act as brakes to prevent Knock-Outs by striking against the stadium floor at the cost of Stamina. While such an effect does occur, the wider tabs create greater Stamina drain than Defense's with little to no improvement on Stability and Knock-Out Resistance. The top portion of Press also has four wall protrusions with a spike in the center on the sides of the Performance Tip, but hold no real purpose other than a slight source of Stamina loss, since they can also scrape along the stadium floor and are too low to be struck by any Burst System Beyblade.
Overall
While one of the heavier Performance Tips in Burst, Press' poor Stamina and lack of higher Defense properties compared to Defense, Orbit and Atomic have made this Performance Tip outclassed for competitive use.
As such, Press is recommended for collection purposes only.
