Beyblade X - How to Fix a String Launcher In-Depth Tutorial

Unboxing a brand new white string launcher only to break it within 5 launches. The string would not retract back into the launcher and I show how you can fix the launcher to once again retract the string into the launcher. This fix will also make your launcher most likely not break nearly as easily as when this comes out of the packaging.

[@jessietrevino3178]

letting go of the string and pulling too hard is what kills string launchers, I find pulling it quick and stopping just before the string ends and guiding the string back gives just as powerful of a launch without putting stress on the launcher

[@1234beyblade]

@jessietrevino3178 pretty sure the instructions and official takara tomy videos both present the string launcher to be used by letting go of the string

[@galactic-beys]

Great video and tutorial!! i can't wait to put my custom strings in the X string launchers. i'm running 56 inches in db's

[@1234beyblade]

Nice lol, hopefully the gear can actually hold that much string lol. I'm sure you know it's not tourney legal at that point, but yeah.

[@thelurker5466]

well ive used my white and black launchers for a long time now and they havent broken so idk man lol

[@1234beyblade]

@thelurker5466 well I launch hard, hence why I broke it in 5 tries lol

@thelurker5466 ye idk. That was the 6th one lol. All within 10 launches. But not a single broken one that are red or blue.

this is great for the community. love it!

[@UlqeoraShypher]

My coil ended up folding and lost it's shape, I'm not sure how to get it back to it's original shape, the ying yang shape..

[@Adam-rw4xk]

Lmao, you break these in ten launches?? My first one still works just like it did on day one and I use almost daily. I love the video, don't get me wrong. It's really cool/good to see whats inside this device. I just can't believe that you break these that fast, thats wild.

[@1234beyblade]

@Adam-rw4xk it's just the white/black molds that break that easily. Red and blue are fine. Few Japanese players have the same experience and Kei from wbo also has the same breakage issue as me.

[@Adam-rw4xk]

@@1234beyblade Thats good to know; I'll have to keep a eye on my white/black string launcher.

[@soumyodeepchatterjee2000]

CobaltDragoon launcher has this same issue?

[@1234beyblade]

@@soumyodeepchatterjee2000 no. The string gets tangled in the dragoon launcher. Different issue.

​@@1234beyblade expecting a video on a fix for the CobaltDragoon launcher too!

[@1234beyblade]

@soumyodeepchatterjee2000 there's only a temporary fix that wouldn't make it tourney legal. Taking off the black casing around the prong will make it not get stuck as easily.

[@DBS_Gohan]

I didn't even mean or try to break my launcher😭

[@Echoes3333]

Just can't remove the 3 bolts

[@vicaslan]

I mean LUCA always doing great launches with string + Japanese using mostly String and rarely broken

[@1234beyblade]

@vicaslan I just know how to push to the limits of the launcher while still being able to control it. Do I always launch this hard? Of course not. But if I need to, I will, and I don't want my launcher breaking on me.

[@Keithsview898]

Ive never broken any of mine, even from metal fight. And im 6'2 and 250lbs, and lift very heavy. I think you just need to change up how you're gripping or get the easy release grips. Thanks for the video

[@1234beyblade]

@Keithsview898 strength doesn't matter. It's all agility. And these white/black launchers just can't handle high speed launches. MFB, Burst, and red/blue x launchers are perfectly fine.

[@Keithsview898]

@@1234beyblade that's my point that strength doesn't matter. The only reason I said that about myself is that I'm that strong and have had no issues with them. Now I will say I was under the impression that you were using too much strength. Which is why you were running into this problem. I control my strength with string, I still have my black one from the first wave.

[@1234beyblade]

@@Keithsview898 Thing is, yes you do want to control your launch. but what if you're in a tournament situation where both you and your opponent have perfectly balanced tuned beys and you need to launch as hard as possible to get more RPM than your opponent to win your matchup. This is all very situational, i don't always go all out, but when I need to I don't want my launcher breaking on me. Edit: During solo practice I like to stress test to see how much a launcher can take. These black/white launchers just cannot withstand the upper limit of my launch abilities. Which is how I find out that these moldings of launchers break so easily. The new gold launcher from tournaments has this issue too lol, the recent winner of it from waribey in Japan has broken it same way I did with this one.

[@Adam-rw4xk]

@@1234beybladeNot doing the slip grip is my guess to as why they're breaking. Of course it's just a guess.

[@1234beyblade]

@@Adam-rw4xk if you mean slip grip, as in letting go of the handle. Then that's exactly how I launch. You can see it in the video.

[@beetlesalt6759]

I am an absolute baboon and I broke mine within 2 days of having it (hasbro Soar Phoenix red launcher), but now that I have the understanding that the red launchers aren't supposed to break that easily, I think I'll just stick to ripchord launchers for the sake of saving time and money 😅

[@HungryMan9165]

So the red and blue beyblade x string launchers are much less prone to breaking right?

[@1234beyblade]

@HungryMan9165 generally, yeah. But so far, I've found most molds manufactured in 2024 break more easily.

[@HungryMan9165]

I was curious about what was inside and i f'd up and it jist stopped retracting the string

i have the hasbro red one for soar phoenix and it broke after like 6 launches so i’m here now

[@Real_Gray_22]

My coil snapped. How do I fix that??

[@1234beyblade]

@Real_Gray_22 you have to make a new circle for the small plastic rod to attach to. It will no longer be tournament legal. No one will be able to tell really, but you should just be honest and not use it. For tourneys you'll have to buy a new one unfortunately.

[@Real_Gray_22]

@@1234beyblade How do I do that because I have tried twice, failed, and cut my finger in the process. Clearly I am doing something wrong.

[@1234beyblade]

@Real_Gray_22 it's not easy that's for sure. Not really something I can explain in text, you just have to find a way to replicate the original shape to allow the shaft to coil up the metal again.

[@Kapitashorts]

Thanks

[@tmymo]

I think it also depends on how hard youre going on the string. Ive had only 1 string launcher for awhile and its been in good condition since

[@1234beyblade]

@@tmymo yep, I was doing 80% launches to demonstrate the break. They're really fragile at intense launch powers
