Quattro' (クワトロダッシュ, Kuwatoro Dasshu; Quattro Dash) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System and the Burst Ultimate Layer Series. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-201 Zest Achilles Customize Set in Japan in August 6th, 2022.
Description
Takara Tomy's Quattro' is a Dash Driver variant of Quattro, featuring increased Burst Resistance due to a stronger spring. Like its regular counterpart, Quattro' features an adjustable tip with four modes: Attack, Defense, Stamina, and Balance. Due to the gimmick, the tip sits at a taller height than an average Performance Tip.
The Attack Mode features a flat rubber tip of a small diameter, similar to Xtreme'. Due to the rubber and surface area to friction ratio, the Attack Mode is aggressive and, if launched with a Banking Shoot, has a controllable movement pattern. While the rubber tip creates high speed, it also causes a quick loss of Stamina, and will wear over time.
The Defense Mode features a free-rotating metal ball tip, similar to Orbit Metal, but smaller. This mode has excellent stamina due to the low friction of the metal tip, and the free-rotating ability. The Defense Mode also features an outer ridge that helps keep a Quattro' Combination upright once it begins to topple.
The Stamina Mode features a metal sharp tip, similar to Wedge'. This mode features decent stamina due to the low friction of the metal sharp tip. Due to being a pointy sharp tip, the Stamina Mode is vulnerable to Destabilization.
The Balance Mode features a flat rubber tip with a sharp plastic tip in the center, similar to Unite'. When knocked off balance or launched at an angle, the rubber will make contact with the stadium floor, creating aggressive movement akin to the Attack Mode. However, when launched flat, the pointy sharp tip will make contact with the stadium floor, resulting in a Quattro' Combination staying in the center, with the rubber acting as brakes to help prevent Knock-Outs.
Overall
Due to its tall height, the Attack and Balance Modes of Quattro' are prone to Knock-Outs. The Defense and Stamina Modes of Quattro' feature excellent Stamina potential against Same-Spin Opponents, comparable to other competitive Stamina Performance Tips. However, its performance against Opposite-Spin Opponents is somewhat lackluster, and thus not recommended in those matchups.
As such, Takara Tomy's Quattro' is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to a blader's collection.
