What It Is
A launcher with a built-in spring-loaded grip (a feature later reused separately as the Spring Support accessory), marketed as boosting launch power but reported to mainly ease the strain of pulling the ripcord through the gears when a Beyblade is already mounted - a claim described as only partially effective, since ripcord breakage was still experienced. Its real, unadvertised feature is a 9-tooth gear matching the EZShooter Power Custom, making it one of the more accessible routes to above-EZShooter power with a grip already built in, though the rarer Power Custom is considered more practical overall since it also works with the Catapult Grip and Customize Grip.
How It Launches
9-tooth gear; about 7-7.5 rotations with the Dragon Winder, 6-6.5 with the Spring Winder, 5 with the Regular Winder; right spin. Silver-colored units are reported prone to accelerated UV damage and resulting brittleness (compared to the original color of Seaborg); Hasbro's red version is expected to hold up better.
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); not documented as compatible with the Catapult Grip or Customize Grip, unlike the EZShooter Power Custom.
Spin and gear teeth are given only where they are stated outright; the table leaves a figure blank rather than infer one.
