So can some one remind me which one the Photon is? Is that the longer Tesla or the longer Inertia?

Fission Photon May 29th!!!
"Well how's this for exciting news - we screwed up. The release date is one week closer -- May 22nd, not the 29th"
Figured that would elicit some responses.
Can someone point me in the direction of these comments? I wasn't aware of them. I haven't been following the Fission releases, because I don't throw lightweight discs and I don't bag Volts. So I would have definitely missed discussion on this point.
Well if that's the case then I may have to revise my target weight. I don't have a cannon - I hit 350' with Teslas and push 400' with Laces - so a 180g stables-overstable driver would probably be a bit too much for me.
My concern with the lighter weights though does extend beyond stability. Lighter weights are more liable to get pushed around in big winds, and we get lots of those here in NOLA. But if these fly at lighter weights like everyone is making it seem, they're clearly worth checking out.
Nice. This means I can order some ahead of my June 3 road trip and not worry about whether they'll arrive in time.

Does anyone want the Neutron Fireball, Plasma Amp, and Fission Photon before they're released? Welcome to Facebook. Got to the MVP Disc Sports Fan page and Make your guesses on this video.

Yes that is me and I am shameless. Accept it.

Where do we ask you questions about the contest if we have any?

On that post or here I can answer it for you. What's up?

At the beginning of the video it says a different disc that he is not carrying in his bag. I just want to make sure that I'm interpreting it properly before I answer. For example, you carry two Neutron Resistors, is it possible that in the video you threw a different Resistor than those two? Or does this mean that you wouldn't have thrown a Resistor because there were some in your bag?

You are correct. I could still throw a resistor in the video, it would just not be one of the same two that I carry in my In The Bag video.

Thanks. That clears things up, and makes them a little tougher.

I was definitely sneaky in the lines I threw too. They definitely don't all fly like the flight charts because I forced some shots and threw some beat up discs.

Great. That's going to make me think even more now.

New to the sport--as an avid player anyway--and I got my first MVP discs a couple weeks ago: a Plasma Volt and an Atom. Loving those discs and I'd say this is shaping up to be my favorite brand. I have a Theory on the way.:thmbup:

:hfive: you got three of their best discs to start out.
I'd say grab an Envy for stable approaches once your atom beats in a bit and you're good to go.

Thanks for the tip. I'm sure I'll try that one sooner or later. I've been using a Ti Buzz (love it) and a DX Shark (liked it, lost it) for mids and I've got a Truth and Star Shark on the way along with the Theory. I'm sure I don't need four midrange discs but I'm just trying stuff out, discovering my preferences.
Great choice for a first driver. You might really enjoy the plasma amp which comes out next friday and in such beautiful plastic!

Does anyone know if these are going to be the stable amps or the elusive understable ones?

I hope they are the understable variety. My 172 N Amp is still fairly stout compared, and that is after a summer in the car and multiple tree hits.
