About This Part
Ball is a rounded plastic tip whose broad, hemispherical contact patch grips the stadium floor with extra friction, a shape that also tends to hold the Beyblade near the centre of the stadium and suits Defense combinations. Takara Tomy debuted it in Japan on August 9, 2008 with the BB-11 Starter Wolf D125B, reaching western countries through the BB-45 Rock Aries ED145B Starter Pack.
In Play
