[@strayedzeypher2520]

Hi new to beyblade my kid just got me into it I've been doing iato and kendo for a very very long time I got the samurai saber for my first beyblade and I was using the launcher the same way I hold my katana's sheath and launching it the the same way I draw my katana and I've been loving it most fun ever but I don't think I need to change my stance or drawing technique but I am starting to add tilted launches into the equation and finding crazy results

[@strayedzeypher2520]

​@BladeBeyX also my kid says this has helped him find more stability in his launches

[@TheCIScommander]

After watching this video and practicing and then applying the techniques shown, I went from going 2-3 at locals to 5-1 and winning! Thank you so much for helping me get better at Beyblade!

[@herohut725]

Very informative. I feel most comfortable with my left leg forward and rotating my hips and the launch.

[@BladeBeyX]

All power comes from having a good base and rotating your core! :)

[@taurenjay5205]

Wow! Just pulled a 24671! I would have never thought that this was doable on a string launcher! Thanks man 🙏

[@BladeBeyX]

Awesome numbers! I’m glad it helped :)

[@liamthomas2032]

just a heads up the string length isn't the only factor. gearing is also a HUGE factor. Ripcord gets like a little over 9 revolutions at full rip-cord length. at the same length the sting gets only roughly 5. over total string length it only gets slightly over 10 revolutions. source, painted one prong white and pulled it and counted on both launchers.

[@BladeBeyX]

Hey! Thanks. Fully aware of this. I’m talking about getting the most powerful string launches you can in the video and all I say is in comparison to ripcord you’ll be able to get more consistency with string. Also if you want to check revolutions you can just look at the top of the launcher and count them the same way the battle pass does. Most string gets between 11-13 revolutions :) Thank you for watching!

[@Blad3r_03]

Hey man, I was pointed your way from one of my viewers, mentioning we have a similar style. This is a great video.

[@BladeBeyX]

Haha I have no style! Thanks I hope it was useful!

[@silverwind9906]

OH SHEET IT BLA3R WHATS SUPPP

[@ToxicAtom]

The string in a string launcher may be longer than the plastic winder, but the gear ratio is different, so the amount of revolutions the launcher hooks make should be relatively comparable.

[@BladeBeyX]

The original ripcords could only reach a max of 8 revolutions whereas the new extended ripcord can reach 10. This is still below average for string launchers as they’re between 10-14. I still believe string allows for the most consistency.

[@ToxicAtom]

@@BladeBeyX For sure, having such an aggressive gear ratio on the winder launchers means that it takes less change in how you launch to drastically affect how the bey behaves. String launchers are more forgiving in that aspect.

[@BladeBeyX]

@@ToxicAtom do you use ripcord? If you do what’s your set up?

[@ToxicAtom]

@@BladeBeyX Right now I just use the Samurai Saber launcher as it comes out of the box. I just find forward grips more comfortable than side grips, and the grip being integrated into the launcher adds an extra layer of security that I love. I'll wait for a more accessible long winder or L/R Winder Launcher before I even consider switching. I understand the benefits of string launchers, but winders are just my preference, hand have been since the Burst Long Winder release.

[@BladeBeyX]

@ I’ve played with ripcord since 2001 but this gen string seems to be the way forward for me :)

[@MrDirtySpartan]

Yes I’m so happy the guide is finally here! Proud of myself for learning it from you before the guide but grateful to see it all laid out so nicely lol looks like I need to work on my arm movement here, don’t pull my hand nearly as far back and up so I can’t wait to see how much better I can get 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 also aiming practice using a stationary Bey??? That’s awesome I’ve never thought of doing that!

[@BladeBeyX]

Yeah man your launches are great. This is really the foundation for your more accurate launches. Get good at these mechanics to raise your launch power then you’ll be able to carry more power into your technical launches :)

[@KamenGoat]

First lmao, been waiting for this! Legend and great video as always man!

[@BladeBeyX]

Thanks dude! I hope it’s useful!

[@Azrel00]

Recently switch from winder to the string launcher for more control and I was unconsciously doing the same thing with my left leg (before watching this video). It just felt natural. Though, my knees kinda dips a bit more. Great video!

[@BladeBeyX]

Nice dude! Good mechanics! Thanks for watching :)

[@ashfield4313]

My main question is if this can exceed that of a winder? If it can meet that of a winder then this is a ton more effort and training required to meet it. You should do a side by side test. A winder with the attachable handle, ripping it as hard as you can using your technique versus the String launcher. Then the winder abandoning the focus on conscious control and banking on subconscious hand eye coordination.

[@BladeBeyX]

Hey great question. So I’ve been testing that since beyblade x came out and got my hands on the battle pass to test launch rpm’s. That’s why I’ve settled on string launcher. Just launching hard isn’t going to win you any large tournaments though. Increasing your power with the string launcher is going to allow you to launch more technically and still carry some good rpm with it. I believe what you’re referring to as “subconscious” hand and eye coordination is akin to having a reactive aim and I have techniques for that with winder as well :)

[@ParadoX-os]

It honestly comes down to personal preference. I have full control with the Winder launcher, so a string launcher doesn't really provide me with more control. As much as it takes practice to increase your launch power with string launchers, you could also practice your control with Winder launchers and get better results from my testing.

[@BladeBeyX]

Yep. This video is to help people who prefer string to get more power out of their launches :)

[@madmaxy92]

Very informative! This video is about to help a lot of people

[@BladeBeyX]

Thanks dude, I hope so!🤞🏽

[@realjustdjango]

Amazing application of different areas to construct an advancement for the hobby. I'm stoked to see what else we can discover to make even stronger launches. The only "problem" I could really have with it is only personal: I seem to need to exert more effort with this technique than I do with my standard grip for what seems like no difference in spin strength. Again, this is not to detract from your video, just explaining what my experience with it is - I might even end up using some tips from this video to boost my own standard launch as best I can. My standard grip is the parallel grip, with the grip on the back of the launcher on the back of the launcher, for some reference.

[@BladeBeyX]

It not go more bbbrrrrr??? lol I’m sure you’ve got awesome launches any way you’re holding it dude. This grip helps me use a variety of different “tactics” from the same position so I really like it :)

[@realjustdjango]

@@BladeBeyX Still fast, just not as fast as I can do lol. But yea, it's still a great technique to share to the world, even if it doesn't work for me as it does for you.

[@BladeBeyX]

Thanks! You can get massive power from rip cord but you can also get huge power and more consistency from the string launchers without all the drag from the ripcord and double gears. This makes it easier to launch more accurately. Hope the vid helps :)

[@scalemodelstudio]

@BladeBeyX How about making a comparison for moded string luncher(long string) vs. regular string luncher. :)

[@ShadowDaPk]

So to make it fair, extended rip cords at least to the same length as the Winder Launcher should be fair game then.

[@BladeBeyX]

They’ll probably get that long at some point but the ripcord launchers have a gear multiplier in them to help add more power

[@cecillewolters1995]

Solid video man, thanks a lot! 💪 Do you consciously release the string at the end, or do you pull it as far as possible and let your fingers slip off?

[@BladeBeyX]

To begin with you’re going to be consciously releasing but I’ve got enough reps that I’m consistently pulling the full length of the string and it’s natural to let my fingers slide off the grip smoothly. You’ll still have to ease up your grip though 😅 Thank you!

[@o0821]

Very informative and I prefer string launcher as well, but I did feel like an otherwise informative video began with a somewhat disingenuous comparison between string length and rip cord length: just to clear some things up, the ripcord launcher has a double gear ratio so the ripcord is moving against a larger gear which spins the launching prongs 3x per rotation of the larger gear. Basically the ripcord is spinning 3x its physical length as well. Thanks to said gear ratio.

[@BladeBeyX]

Hey thanks for the feedback and sorry if it sounds misleading. The video is about getting the most power from string launchers and I believe I say the longer string length allows for more consistency in power over ripcord. Going by my battle pass I have hit higher rpms with my string launcher over my ripcord launchers though. It would be fun to test again now I’ve worked on my ripcord technique too :)

what kind of muscle exercise to increase launch power beside the stance and technique?

You need to increase strength capacity but mainly explosiveness if you want to see your launch power go up outside of technique. If you check out the solo beyblading series on the channel that might give you some ideas :)

That’s why the slip grip is such a great accessory! It will stop that happening completely! If you’ve got the dexterity you can also flick the grip down with your thumb when you launch so it doesn’t fly back at your hand/arm :)

[@BladeBeyX]

It’s the worst right! It always hits the middle of my thumb nail! The noodle accessory I recommend in the video is perfect for stopping all that. It’s just heavy enough that the string doesn’t whip back but instead just slowly retracts back in :)

30,000 SP is actually insane dude. I’m peaking at 11500 and I’m afraid I’m breaking my launchers lol.

So the winder launchers have a gear multiplier than can make your launches stronger for sure. This video is for helping make your string launches stronger. I love launching hard with ripcord too but string is definitely easier for people to control and get consistent power in their launches

[@DieHardJunior]

Maybe I missed it if you even mentioned it but you are talking about the Takara Tomy string launcher right? Because Im 100% sure without even actually measuring that the hasbro string launcher is múch weaker than rip cord launcher

[@BladeBeyX]

There’s no difference between the TT and Hasbro string launchers bud. The video is about getting stronger launches with string because it’s easier to control for launches and get consistent power readings. The rip cord launcher has a gear multiplier that helps you get a stronger launch but at the same time doesn’t guarantee it. You’ll normally feel like you launch harder on rip cord anyway because of the resistance and feedback it gives. I’d definitely recommend finding out the numbers if you can borrow someone’s battle pass. I just got over 31k with string.

[@DieHardJunior]

@@BladeBeyX Hehe, I know I watched the full video brosqi dont worry. But was only wondering whether I missed it or not. Because in another video they however did say the TT string launcher has a longer string than hasbro's...

[@BladeBeyX]

@ typically the string is between 10-12 rotations long. As far as I know it’s the same variance with TT and Hasbro. I’ve heard the new Impact Dragoon one will be longer though 🤞🏽 thanks dude!

@@BladeBeyX Hmm okay I see. Yeah seeing im in the EU I dont necessarily feel like buying the TT battlepass. But ill see how much power I can get by measuring some other way like BeybladeGeeks used to do back in the day or whatever.

Yeah that’s not a rule dude. If your string hits the stadium it hits the stadium. Doesn’t affect the scoring. If you’re pulling straight back and fully extending the string I can’t see how it would ever land inside the stadium at least :)
