Compare 5-50 directly with the 5-60 Ratchet 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.
