MVP Replacement for DX LEO

Can the Amp beat in to fly like a DX LEO? I'm talking smooth 60% hyzer flip turnover? I'd like one for the woods.

the amp is pretty fast and has some fade. i'd say the closest disc would be their tangent, a lighter seasoned one.

How do the two compare in distance?I've heard the Tangent loses glide at the end of its flight.

it does like to settle, but the glide through the middle of the flight is good. i find that it makes the disc pretty easy to range because of this. it has buzzz distance, but it's nowhere near as touchy. it has become my go-to straight or turnover driver for 280-350 feet.

There really isn't a MVP Leo.

A powered down, beat Amp is probably the closest you're gonna get.

Amp is pretty close. River is also a great understable fairway.

Like bigsky said MVP's drivers are faster and they really dont have a low end plastic. Are you looking to replace the Leo or "upgrade."

I generally don't feel a need for a real fast driver. The MVP trio is as fast as I can see needing and is admittedly still a little faster than I like for tight windows. I have had Leos in my bag since I started playing and love 'em.

If you haven't already I'd suggest checking out a river or underworld. Neither are really in a lower end plastic but remain great disc. I'd also suggest a TL.
