Weight (ウエイト, Ueito) is a Performance Tip released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the B-59 Starter Zillion Zeus Infinity Weight on September 17th, 2016. It later debuted in western countries with the release of the Starter Pack Zeutron Z2 Infinity Weight.
Description
Weight features a ball shaped tip made of metal, akin to Metal Fight Beyblade's Metal Ball Performance Tip, surrounded by a plastic ridge.
Like Metal Ball, the metal tip is meant to decrease friction with the stadium floor and improve stability and KO resistance by lowering the center of balance with its weight and the plastic ridge is meant to provide Life After Death with its smooth perimeter.
In practice however, the shape and diameter of the ball creates a semi-aggressive movement pattern early in battle if hard launched, bringing the Beyblade close to the Tornado Ridge. Due to the low friction of the metal, a Beyblade in this state becomes much easier to KO. A secondary weakness is the plastic ridge, its low positioning means that it is easy for it to contact the stadium floor which exacerbates the aforementioned issue and drains Stamina.
While Weight's sheer weight can improve KO Defense, it's mitigated by the low friction of metal and rarity of KOs in the Burst metagame.
Overall
While the metal does give this Performance Tip less friction and therefore more Stamina in theory, in practice its movement pattern and poor stability makes it outclassed by other Performance Tips such as Revolve, Atomic and Orbit. Although, Weight can still act as a somewhat suitable replacement due to its high weight.
As such, Weight is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to a blader's collection.
