What It Is
The baseline, most common launcher of the plastics generation: compact but still comfortable to hold with good control. It is technically outperformed by the EZShooter Power Custom, but because it is so widely available it serves as the reference launcher for testing and the one most often encountered in tournament play. A number of manufacturing variants exist, differing in prong shape, finger-rest design, and molding sharpness, but all are said to deliver the same overall power.
How It Launches
10-tooth gear; about 6.5 rotations with the Dragon Winder, 5.5-5.75 with the Spring Winder, 4.5-5 with the Regular Winder; right spin. All manufacturing variants are rated as equal in power.
Rotation counts are given with the winder they were measured with; a different winder gives a different figure.
What It Fits
Uses the Dragon Winder, Spring Winder, or Regular Winder (rotation count varies by winder used).
Spin and gear teeth are given only where they are stated outright; the table leaves a figure blank rather than infer one.
