Based on the weights listed, you probably cannot expect any 14 speed drivers to be under 170g. But, the 13 speeds will get under 170g, and some speed 11 molds are produced under 160g.

Wow, I don't know how I missed that on my first couple of look-throughs, thanks!

to toot my own horn

hit pipe with that new (to me) plaz volt on a short flick hole like 250ft

it doesnt have a lot of glide for a plaz volt but im gettin it dialed in

So does anyone have any idea how the vote for the next release is going? I tried FB but couldn't find it.

I also pulled out my Spin again, the Ohms pretty good and so is the electron Envy but it's no proton Spin :D

I sure hope the Hex is understable. My anny lines don't have much distance yet.

Do we have any official word on intended flight paths other than semi-educated guesses based on measurements?

Well we know, they know.. That they have a big hole there, gyro understable has been an issue for them. They hinted that it would be more neutral / understable in the gyropalooza and that they were really trying to get it "just right" and fill the Theory hole.

The Theory arguably being their best attempt at it.. but they have really struggled, they have tried undercutting the bottom rim and have achieved decent understability but they just can't seem to get good lift/glide with that rim. Sure it will turn but they don't hold height like it should... Spin, Vertex, Tangent.. Theory. The mids come up short. When you get the nose down to turn it drops too fast and you need a certain amount of juice to get it up to speed.

The Axis is a great mid except for the high power requirement to get the intended flight. If you can throw it 275'+ it's awesome. I loved that thing 5-6 yrs ago. I feel like they are going to nail it this time, they've been twiddling with it for 10yrs now and I'm encouraged by the Ohm and Reactor.

I liked it a lot better when the PDGA used to post a blurb when new discs were announced...

I very much agree with your post. Weakest part of the greater MVP lineup is midranges. For all the effort (molds) they've yet to really impress me, and you kind of have to throw the snot out of any of them, but especially the understable end. Vertex will do cool tricks but lacks glide, Tangent (OOP?) is closer but lacks speed, or distance anyways. The Axis is OK, but mostly domey. Reactor shows promise and progress. I think the direction is there. Will be interested in Conrad's designs.

It's also strange how easily the putters and fairways are to throw compared to the mids...
