About This Part
Semi-Flat, or SF, is a Takara Tomy Performance Tip that debuted in Japan on August 9, 2008 with the BB-02 Starter Bull 125SF, reaching western shelves in the Pegasus Tornado Wing 2-Pack. It is a sharp tip with its point flattened off, and Takara Tomy describes it as a tip that blends attack power with survival. That blend means it moves in a semi-aggressive pattern that's slower than a true flat tip but faster than a plain sharp one, trading peak strength in either direction for a steadier all-round showing.
In Play
Its extra surface friction beats sharp tips like Spike or Eternal Spike for stamina and defence, but it can't match dedicated stamina tips such as Wide Defense or defensive rubber tips like Rubber Spike; it found a real niche in destabilizer setups, where a low Spin Track combined with its balanced grip helps knock an opponent's Beyblade off its line.
- Debuted in Japan on August 9, 2008 with BB-02 Starter Bull 125SF.
- Reached western countries with the Pegasus Tornado Wing 2-Pack.
- Its function and design carry through to the Blow tip and its variants in the Burst Series, and its shape carries through to the Taper Bit in the X Series.
