Name Variation
Flash Leopard 2 was released by Hasbro as Flash Leopard II.
Attack Ring (AR): Panther Head
Panther Head gets its name from the three panther heads which make up the AR. In Right Spin, Panther Head's protrusions provide some Smash Attack, albeit competitively ineffective, and are subject to a fair amount of recoil. When used in Left Spin, Panther Head is used to its full potential, providing powerful Smash Attack with its three attack points. The three attack points gain additional power due to the thicker panther heads that provide some extra weight, and while this causes some recoil in Left Spin, Panther Head is not considered to be a particularly recoil-prone Attack Ring. The three attack points also have slight slopes, which, while not useful for Upper Attack, show a noticeable ability to destabilize. Interestingly, Panther Head, when used in Smash Attack Customizations, is better used in combination with a Ten Wide Weight Disk than a Wide Defense or Wide Survivor Weight Disk. This is due to the rather limited range of the attack points. While this may be a drawback, it is greatly overshadowed by the excellent Smash Attack Panther Head delivers, and should still be considered when building a Left Spin Smash Attack Customization.

Blade Base (BB): SG Metal Sharp Base
SG Metal Sharp Base is a very tall, wide and relatively rounded BB. It features a metal sharp tip, which provides very little friction between the Beyblade and the Stadium floor, providing high RPM. Unfortunately, the metal sharp tip is easily knocked off balance and toppled over. Its tall height makes it vulnerable to Upper Attack, again making it easily knocked off balance. The design of SG Metal Sharp Base is very recoil-prone due to its protrusions, which also prevent significant LAD. These flaws make SG Metal Sharp a competitively useless BB.

Overall
Flash Leopard 2 contains Panther Head, one of the Top Tier Attack Ring's for Left Spin Smash Attack. SG Metal Sharp is definitely the worst part of this Beyblade, making it quite terrible out of the box, but it does come with a Ten Heavy as well as a Neo Right North Magnecore Spin Gear, so there is a slight bonus. While Panther Head is a top tier Attack Ring, there are other options that provide more for your money such as Takara's Metal Driger, Dragoon G, or Driger G to name a few, which provide more than just a top tier Attack Ring for Smash Attack. Overall, Flash Leopard 2 is definitely a good buy, however it is generally not worthwhile if one already has a competitive Smash Attack AR.
