About This Part
Weight is a Driver made by Takara Tomy for the Burst System's Dual Layer System, released in Japan on September 17th, 2016 inside the B-59 Starter, Zillion Zeus Infinity Weight, and later carried west by Hasbro's Starter Pack, Zillion Zeutron Z2 Infinity Weight. It runs a metal ball tip — much like Metal Fight Beyblade's Metal Ball driver — ringed by a plastic collar; the metal is meant to cut floor friction and sit low for stability and knockout resistance, while the collar's smooth edge is meant to grant life-after-death.
In Play
In practice, the ball's shape sends the driver into a semi-aggressive drift toward the Tornado Ridge under a hard launch, and once there its slick metal makes it easier to knock out rather than harder; the collar's low placement often scrapes the floor too, adding to that problem and burning stamina. Its weight does help against knockouts to a degree, but that edge is undercut by the metal's low friction and by how rarely knockouts even happen in the Burst metagame. The community ranks it behind Revolve, Atomic and Orbit, though its heft still makes it a workable substitute — a solid pickup rather than a must-have.
- Released in Japan on September 17th, 2016 with the B-59 Starter, Zillion Zeus Infinity Weight.
- Carried into western markets through Hasbro's Starter Pack, Zillion Zeutron Z2 Infinity Weight.
The Competitive View
The metal ball construction was advertised as giving unusually long spin times, but blader testing showed this was false, leaving Weight with little practical use.
Verdict as the draft gives it: Reviewers note it is outclassed by the Revolve and Defense tips and has found little competitive use.
