Impact Drake 9-60LR Beyblade X Unboxing & Review

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

To address comments about the launch, I could have launched Drake flatter, true, and will do so in the actual playtests, for Impact Drake and the Low Rush bit. Thank you all for the feedback! But please remember that these battles are just for fun and not considered definite testing results. I still really enjoyed this release but feel I need to get more practice. And regarding the launcher, this set comes with a string launcher without a grip or battle pass and I wanted to showcase that for this review. I do not usually use this setup but my partner has no such restriction and prefers the hold launcher which is fair in my eyes. Thank you all for watching and I hope you're looking forward to getting your hands on Impact Drake also!

[@Kobe4ProtroBiggestHater]

flat bits just primarily do better when launched flat but it's slightly less consistent

[@BeyMacX]

@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze it was all good mate, by the looks of it, low rush is going to be less forgiving than normal rush as it's closer to the ground, think it will take us all some practice to find the correct launch angles to keep it under control!

[@alexsams8983]

Do you think that the rubber could be used for spin stealing against Cobalt Dragoon?

[@RoyalKaijuBlader]

​@@alexsams8983All beys can spin equalize when facing the opposite spin. Rubber is only there for shock absorption

[@zankye]

Great review bud ❤ don’t know why so many people arm chair blading you in the comments you’re doing great

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@@zankye cheers man, really appreciate the comment! ❤

[@MasterDragoonBlade]

I've found that rush works better without aggressively tilting. Maybe try flat launching it or easing up on your tilt. You may get better results.

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

I don't use Rush very often, but you are right! Gonna try launching flatter in the future and I will try some more test battles with it. Please also remember that this is not play testing, this is just showing off the blade and having fun with it.

[@MasterDragoonBlade]

@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze The blade itself looks really good. Looks like it can hit really hard. I'm excited for mine to come in. Probably going to put it on 1-60 Level though.

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

Oooo, that sounds fun. I'll try that out today! Thanks for the good idea

[@antoinedowning2378]

Alot of bey tubers tilts beys alot things like point rush and sometimes taper dot and ball shouldn't be tilted so much

[@MasterDragoonBlade]

@antoinedowning2378 Well, I get the point of aggressively tilting on some combos. Aggressively tilting on Shark Edge helps to get to the ratchet for a burst for example (though that's only worked a few times for me personally). But I feel if you tilt an attack bit that much, you lose too much stamina and you lose the explosive of the bit.

[@len9393]

Awesome unboxing! 🔥 Was surprised to see Blade in the video hahah Mr. Worldwide for real 😂🔥

[@KOCTIAKOCTIA]

Why is the launch angle so big? I think that with such an angle whoever is launched will lose

[@fuyuki4769]

Yeah, that launch doesnt do Impact Drake justice.

[@takumifujiwara8356]

yeah I get a bit confused too he launches like a cute little girl

[@wickedhero3764]

Also he is using string launcher which is not good and he looks like not comfy with it

[@takumifujiwara8356]

@@wickedhero3764 point taken

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

Yep, realised this too late, but I will do testing for myself in the future with a flatter launch. I still enjoyed using it.

[@jeanc.orendain4044]

Can't wait to order mine! Great video mate :)

[@jacobpomegranate]

Loved the Unboxing man! Can’t wait to see how LR does on Pegasus

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

You and me both!

[@leftspinbeys2]

As always, great video, bro! All my beys for this months release got delayed until Jan 2nd, lol. But I am excited about this, bey!

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

Ahh, that's not too bad though! Considering its right around the New Year. Hope they get to you safe, mate! It's a lot of fun to use!

[@crisiscrusher07156]

When I look at impact, I see it more as a smash attacker and would want to be the same height as its opponent. I don’t think it wants to be lower. Low rush will work well on upper attackers like knight mail. Impact probability wants regular rush.

[@Nate64Gaming]

I already pre-ordered my Impact Drake, and I can't wait to use it

[@galactic-beys]

Super dope bro!! awesome video and cool collab with Blade✨ looks like pretty nice rubber🤏🧐💯👍

[@BeyMacX]

Awesome video mate! Drake looks awesome, expect to see it at future tournaments! Loved the blade bey collab 😂

[@OnlyBeys]

Great video! I love the launcher and the blade so much!

[@MechaluchaBeyblade]

Great review man! I was wondering what's the suggested combo inside the packaging the one printed on paper

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

I never actually opened it 😂 I'll go check it out in a moment!

[@safruddinaly5822]

It's 0-80 BS the rachet come from ghost bit from knight mail

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@@MechaluchaBeyblade yep! 0-80BS. Sounds actually interesting, want to try it in a Defence build

[@HarryzBeys]

Huh thought it was 0-80 RA

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@HarryzBeys they do fit well together, but the recommendation was definitely BS

[@RyujinSaviorX]

Nice! I might consider changing the rachet color to red instead of black to match the red and blue on drake.

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

That would look sweet, good call.

[@Blader_Mal_Kai]

Hello from the NorCal Beyblade League! I might be mistaken but from what we've been told, the official rules from TT/Hasbro in a tournament setting for a Bey that is launched out of the top of the stadium is considered on over finish and the remaining Bey receives 2 points. That is how we make that judgement in our WBO tournaments.

[@MMoutoo]

The TT ruling states that if a bey is launched out the top, the battle is redone

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

Yeah, It's a redo in Japan. But interesting to know how other areas deal with that situation!

[@len9393]

Nope, that is a redo

[@safruddinaly5822]

Congratulations for the new beyblade 👍😊👊

[@Somnosomnobidule]

Nice test Mirror B's theme brings so much nostalgia ❤

[@bladerash0671]

Awesome bey. I think it would've performed better if it were to be launched flat because you can see the bey usually stalls in the center when launched tilted and tends to scrape due to being top heavy I guess.

[@meganbeltz7667]

that tilt launch is not good for impact drake try a flat launch

[@DarioScerelli-dn5md]

Where can i get one 😭😭😭😭

[@MirunzX]

Impact is really interesting bey to explore because it uses a new material in X. I wonder is the rubber can be warn, and what happen if it warn out? Nice collab with Blade🔥

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

I'm sure people will wear it out soon enough and we'll find out!

[@MatthewNoBeyblade]

I have a preorder w Mall of Beys. I know when it comes in it's gunna dominate 100%. It's a comp stock combo.

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

Exactly, looking forward to practicing more with this and seeing how good it can really be.

[@MatthewNoBeyblade]

@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze I do feel like Flat or Taper might be better cause it seems to need traction. Maybe taper? Cause I think it's too low to use rubber.

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@MatthewNoBeyblade that's a good call. I might try out Taper later today, thanks for the idea!

[@MatthewNoBeyblade]

@@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze Word. I'm so excited to have it come in after seeing this vid. Imma enjoy this one. Hopefully as much as I love Cobalt Dragoon.

[@arsalanzamindar]

How can we get Beyblade X merch like hoodie jacket & tshirts they wear in Takara Tomy videos ???

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

They sell them at Beyblade X events in Asia only at the moment, I believe. Toys r Us in Japan also has a range of Beyblade X clothing though!

[@SuperKorenman]

I really want to see that dragoon fight with impact drake on a stamina bit because it did look like it gained a little bit of stamina on the low rush bit with spin steal

[@gorogoth]

i just ordered impact drake,gonna take a while before i can play with it tho,its a little weird not hearing that metal clashing instead its like a soft thud. its my favorite bey also,nice cameo from @BladeBeyX The champ

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@@gorogoth he's a legend. Hope your drake arrives soon!

[@CalebGonzalez-tb2id]

You got to use the strip launcher if you want to use that beyblade

[@len9393]

Ofc not, you can use whatever launcher fits the bey and is to your personal liking, as long as it's a legal launcher of course 😄

[@CalebGonzalez-tb2id]

@len9393 you not wrong I'm just saying its because strip launcher it gives a lil more power now some people get the hang of the string launcher and get pretty sweet k.o.'s

[@forthkun03]

tilt launch is not good for low bits. maybe a slight one will work, or you need to use flat or point to do heavy tilt.

[@roincec]

Hey! I'm visiting japan in january, i would like to ask how does the shibuya park work? Heard that on site tickets arent available?

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@@roincec you should still be able to buy them from the website using a credit card! You can also try your luck on the day but they'll be ¥200 more expensive and no guarantee there's space

[@NightSpeed458]

How’s the rubber after the test battles? Is it already wearing down?

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@@NightSpeed458 just checked it now, still completely intact, just some slight whitening where contact occured.

[@NightSpeed458]

Oh thank goodness if they made the rubber like Ultimate Valkyrie from burst I would’ve been sad my ultimate Valkyrie is still messed up on the rubber blades

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

@@NightSpeed458 we'll see how it lasts after some proper testing!

[@samwise511]

you tilt it too much... it can't react right away.

[@nandoinsight2265]

Lançar inclinado é ruim. O potencial dele está em laçar reto!

[@Raishiki]

This us the worst advertisment for the bey the company is not appreciative of this..😅 a lil confused why you used the same style of luanch every time .. at an angle your slowing urself down surely? And the rubber needs as much contact on the opponent so you need it flat. Like you watched the video before you edited it and uploaded it id assume you'd want to show the blade in a good light ? 😅.

[@OfficialPumpTV]

I keep trying to look for that impact drake and i couldn't find one, so can you tell me where i can buy them?

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

It's pretty hard to find at the moment, I looked around but if you're willing to pay a little more Amazon JP has some.

[@OfficialPumpTV]

@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze ok ty

[@spiralkingxiii9496]

Im so hype i pre-ordered as soon as it was announced! Meteo was my all time favorite bey but X impact dethroned him cuz this gen is so crazy and thanks to the clear drake ill have the whole Chrome deck fs gonna be my main beys i cant wait mine should be here soon!

[@IKnowAboutSapphireBlaze]

Hope it arrives soon!

[@samuraifx9493]

Found it for 28 pounds on Ebay (a good seller) I get it or leave it

Maybe try Ra idk

@@babycee1165 no, this one I got yesterday from the Beyblade Park event in Tokyo!

hold launcher vs string is not fair

[@333MARTIAN]

Animal Crossing!!!!! Legendary

[@JAlonge017]

I’m down for that history video bro

[@defendathadon7148]

Honestly need to redo the testing with different launching techniques

[@Mr.Compass-95]

Can Impact Drake do spin steal? Maybe it can if you try it with Dragoon and Drake using more stationary bits, like B or G!

[@sasidharanpillai3627]

That bey should have been a left spin😢

[@assasin0848]

I think Impact drake might perform better in 70 and 80 heights, then again it all depends on the launching strategy but it will be interesting to see how well the blade attacks from above

[@MonkeYelling]

I really hope its good this video it only got 1 win..

[@hikaruyasha7849]

I am eyeing my pre order like a hawk right now. Wanna see this thing perform on more popular attack/balance builds

[@CashCaswell]

hawk tuah

[@BlakeGrantCarter]

Impact Drake is so cool! It looks awesome and is super strong! Do you think TT is gonna make an Impact Dragoon? Like, a left-spin Bey with rubber? That would be so cool

[@Carlos81471]

A good bey of course. However, in manga and soon in the anime, Impact Drake is the successor of Lightning L-Drago due to having dark power and the ability to corrupt its owner in exchange for a super destructive power. This is revealed in the manga, when Omega Shiroboshi presented this bey to Chrome and told him to take it.

[@gmo53104]

Ok this makes so much sense!!!!

[@Carlos81471]

@gmo53104 Indeed. I posted three pages of the manga showing exactly that moment. But they are in my other KZbin channel (I have two).

[@Centodieci__]

So Omega made Impact Drake? Omg, thanks for the information bro

[@Carlos81471]

@Centodieci__ I don't know if Omega made that bey, but that could be an interesting theory. All that I know is that Omega could be like a sort of keeper of Impact Drake, and after finding Chrome, she led him to the bey.

[@Altyria]

Launch harder!

[@StarWars432]

[@BladeBeyX]

lol drake is cooked 😂

[@leaksandtweets_6544]

Not cooked the launch strategy makes it look bad inherently bad lol

[@wDeathw]

The way you launch your bey sideway sucks

[@MustRunTonyo]

Irrelevant battles - the string launcher is significantly worse than cord... Edit: of course string grants more control, and cord more power. But in this case, the comparison is not valid because 1) Suffering lots of stamina loss due to the high friction rubber, Drake needs power; 2) It's a comparison, compare apples with apples (same conditions...)

[@tjmonkey5795]

I don't care me like it more

[@UnregisteredUsername]

bruh 😭😭😭 launch POWER isnt everything string is good for consistency, control, and testing while ripcord does give you more power , when testing solo more often than not you will see that power backfire simply due to the dynamics of 2 things hitting eachother while one is spinning alot faster than the other dont be quick to judge solely based on "launch power" ive lost MANY battles running good combos against someone using a fkin proto launcher 😂

[@The.Milk.Wizard]

Bro does not know what he’s talking about. String has advantages over ripcord and ripcord has advantages over string.

[@africkingupsidedownmountai7362]

Using what you're comfortable with is more important than raw power, some people have used a string launcher more than they've used a ripcord and know how to use a string much more

[@UnregisteredUsername]

okay after watching thru , its def weird to put string up against the hold launcher when youre trying to get a feel for performance , but shrug

Oh boy, you are not alone in this, he is my favorite of the year to 🤌🤌🤌
