Description of Kick Driver
First released with the B-185 Booster Vanish Fafnir Tapered Kick-3 as part of the Dynamite Battle system on May 29th, 2021, Kick is a stamina type Performance Tip.
This driver features a sharp, cone-shaped tip which sits under a fairly large plastic disc. This plastic ring (the lower part on the picture above) can rotate, but its main purpose is to tilt thanks to a built-in springs mechanism.
When Kick’s combination is destabilized, the plastic ring will make contact with the stadium’s floor, but it is designed to tilt back up with the help of the built-in springs, resulting in an attempt to re-stabilize the whole combination.
This gimmick does work at times, but not with consistency, and its efficiency can vary from a model to another. Furthermore, the gimmick can be triggered at high spin velocity, but when the combination slows down, the disc will cause scraping and decrease the stamina potential of the combination.
Kick is not as good as competitive stamina Performance Tips in the DB/BU systems such as Bearing Drift, Drift or High Xtend+’ but it isn’t poor either. Therefore, Kick can be useful to create average to good stamina combinations to keep the game balanced in a friendly environment.
Final Thoughts on Kick Driver
Therefore, Kick is not a must have for competitive players. However, it can be a nice addition in any Beyblade Burst collection.
