Understanding Beyblade X Ratchets

I've spent so much time focusing on what goes on the top and bottom of a beyblade that I'd almost forgotten about ratchets and their importance for your setups and battle results, so let's take a look at those today and gain some understanding of them!

This is the content this community needs. Professional quality, to-the-point explanations about what parts actually do.

Generally speaking most comp players are running 60 height. The 5 sided ratchets do seem to burst less. So 3-60 and 5-60 will be in just about every deck. The 3rd is going to be a toss up between 4-60 for lower height, 3-80 or 5-80 for potentially less burst potential. Right now until we have another 60 ratchet we gotta throw an 80 in somewhere. 5 sided ratchets do weigh a tiny bit more so for maxing weight potential that’s something to think about.

finally someone who tries to explain the parts using some logic and theory, thats one sub for you

In metal fight beyblade, the introduction of 230 (23.0mm) spin track changed the game. Before that point, mid height 145 tracks were weak as they would get knocked out by attackers with 90 tracks. With 230 in the mix, 90 was now so low that their attacks were mostly futile against it. This opened the viability of 145 height attackers to go against 230; making all heights viable. This balanced out the game and created a rock paper scissors situation. In beyblade X, I'm not sure they will go as far in either direction, but if they do, it will surely be interesting.

Love your vids. It's helping me learn by watching you learn too. As an older person getting back into the hobby, I haven't played since old plastic gen, learning the new stuff seemed daunting but you make it easy to understand.

I've been watching a lot of bey videos and this channel feels like an official one, professional and direct to the point:)

Finally a beytuber who doesn’t explain things in an unprofessional and annoying way. Keep up the great content 👍

[LoverofChildren]

i appreciate this content. im getting into beyblade after leaving when metal fight ended, being completely disinterested in burst. so learning how to navigate the meta from you is wonderful

Love it! Thanks for the insight friend.

Higher height moves the center of gravity UP, generally I'm finding this makes the beyblade more unstable.

There are SOME blades that want this though, since they want to smack downward (Viper for example).

As someone currently trying to understand the new naming system and mechanics, this helped a lot. Thanks mate 👍

My guess on why tall ratchets are good would be for spin finishes. If a blade is taller, it can topple more before the blade scrapes the stadium. As a blade starts to die, it wobbles. The taller blade could wobble more before scraping, which could give precious extra spin time to stamina or defense builds.

I'm on a nostalgia streak, rewatching the original anime.
3 Google searches later I'm deep into a rabbit hole of competitive Beyblading...
I had no idea this was a thing

Videos like these are amazing, and help the beyblade community a lot

Love this series, thanks for making it!

Was super into Metal and Burst DB so this was pretty great for gathering what exactly makes one top different from the next aside from the top layer

Really good video, love these theory craft videos!

A taller beyblade will have more stamina and stability, that's the advantage of a taller ratchet. You were on the right track with the video clip of the bey going from wobbly back to upright. A taller ratchet will allow a stamina type bey to re-balancd itself if it gets knocked off balance by an attack, or it would allow it to spin longer than the same bey with a shorter ratchet. I.E. if you had 2 wizard arrows, both with ball bits, but the first had 3-80 and the 2nd had 3-60, the first would out spin the 2nd.

Great informative video thank you. 9-60 and 6-80 are currently the highest burst resistance. 3 rachets are more balanced and light weight. 80 height rachets are good for taller bey combos that can destabilize ie. Hells Hammer 9-80HN

Taller ratchet also adds extra height which adds an extra gram. In a game of defense, every gram counts. Every protrusion also adds extra weight.
