This is the only truly useful part of [[Wolborg]]. It is the successor to [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] in the sense that it has a [[free-spinning shaft]] supported by [[bearings]]. This system reduces the loss of spin that occurs when it is hit by another Beyblade. Unfortunately, in the trade-off of being able to replace the SG shell with a [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] shell, you can only place one bearing in the shaft casing. Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger allowed for the placement of two. However, [[Burning Kerberous]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]] casings rectify this problem, as they can carry two bearings, though neither works effectively with this Shaft.

Many players complain that [[Hasbro]]'s tip of the shaft in the SG (Bearing Version) functions significantly differently from [[Takara]]'s. Tests have shown that Hasbro's version is far more aggressive. This has been shown to have a correlation to the condition of the shaft and the fact that [[Takara]]'s mold is considerably more pointed at the tip.

=== Placing Other Shafts in the SG (Bearing Version) ===

You can place the shaft of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]'s Bearing Base and [[Wolborg 2]]'s SG (Bearing Version 2) inside the casing of SG (Bearing Version).

Originally, only [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]'s Bearing Base was available for [[Zombie]] use. However, SG (Bearing Version) became a serious choice for many players.

An example combo would be:

* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]

Because the SG is separate from the BB, there is very little that makes this BB noteworthy.

Wolborg
Wolborg.jpg
Number: A-11
System: 5-Layer
Type: Survival

Attack Ring (AR): Reverse Wolf

  • Weight: 5 grams

Reverse Wolf has several projections that are facing counter-clockwise. However, these projections have very little effect. There is almost no use whatsoever for this AR.

Weight Disk (WD): Eight Balance

See Eight Balance.

Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Bearing Version)

  • Weight: 6 grams

This is the only truly useful part of Wolborg. It is the successor to Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger in the sense that it has a free-spinning shaft supported by bearings. This system reduces the loss of spin that occurs when it is hit by another Beyblade. Unfortunately, in the trade-off of being able to replace the SG shell with a Left SG shell, you can only place one bearing in the shaft casing. Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger allowed for the placement of two. However, Burning Kerberous and Takara's Zeus casings rectify this problem, as they can carry two bearings, though neither works effectively with this Shaft.

Mold Variations

Many players complain that Hasbro's tip of the shaft in the SG (Bearing Version) functions significantly differently from Takara's. Tests have shown that Hasbro's version is far more aggressive. This has been shown to have a correlation to the condition of the shaft and the fact that Takara's mold is considerably more pointed at the tip.

Placing Other Shafts in the SG (Bearing Version)

You can place the shaft of Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger's Bearing Base and Wolborg 2's SG (Bearing Version 2) inside the casing of SG (Bearing Version).

Use in Second Generation Zombies

Originally, only Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger's Bearing Base was available for Zombie use. However, SG (Bearing Version) became a serious choice for many players.

An example combo would be:

Use in Third Generation Zombies

An example combo would be:

Blade Base (BB): SG Bearing Base

  • Weight: 10 grams

Because the SG is separate from the BB, there is very little that makes this BB noteworthy. For 5-Layer customization, Wolborg 2's Defense Grip Base 2 is generally a better choice for compatible Spin Gears. For 6-Layer, Dragoon V2's Customize Grip Base is a better choice - though Defense Grip Base 2 should be considered first.

Other Versions

  • Wolborg - CoroCoro Limited Version (Metallic Blue and Silver)
  • Wolborg - Phantom Force Version (Translucent Yellow)
