Glide Overview
Glide is a stamina bit with a white POM ball tip, a material with noticeably less floor friction than normal plastic. It spins very long, and small plastic bumps on the bit's edge press against the floor to fight tilting, though the slick tip makes it easier to shove around.
Strengths
- + Excellent stamina from the low-friction POM ball
- + Edge protrusions catch the floor to reduce tilting and keep it upright
- + Outlasts most standard plastic ball tips in a clean spin-off
- + 16 gears give it a surprisingly quick Xtreme Dash if it ever catches the rail
Weaknesses
- − Low friction means low grip, so it slides and gets knocked out more easily
- − Tall design leaves it a little exposed
- − The 16 gears waste extra spin on any accidental dash
Glide is the engine of PhoenixRudder 9-70G and slots under any heavy stamina blade on mid ratchets like 9-70 or 5-70. Launch flat and away from the X-Line, and let the friction advantage win the long game. In a 3v3 it is a pure outspin finisher that you protect from dedicated attackers.
