Very few Beyblades out of box are good. Back in the days of the first series, Plastics, there was even a heavier focus on customization since you could take apart spin gears. People were doing stuff like tuning tips that used ball bearings for optimal performance and American player were importing Japanese parts and even some Japanese players imported the Hasbro version of Bearing Stinger because it was better than Takara's.
