Metal Taper is mainly used for a mix of movement, control and spin endurance. Final performance depends on the Blade, Ratchet, stadium and launch.

Compare Metal Taper directly with the Point Bit in the same complete build. Run at least five launches per side and record knockouts, bursts, self-knockouts, scraping and spin finishes; change only this one part.
Drop it if it does not beat a specialist in any matchup your other two Beys leave open. Flexibility only matters when it covers a real deck weakness.
