I want to give a shout out to MVP's customer service. My two year old Voyager bag started coming apart prematurely, and Jessica at MVP stood by their warranty with absolutely no fuss. I explained...

I'd make sure to go for a premium plastic if you want an Envy exclusively for throwing. I've bagged Electron Envies too, but IMO they lack that Envy Gyro Magic and are a much less unique putter. A...

Yeah. But silver lining -- VIP Stags are on the Westside priority list for 2021! :thmbup:

I honestly don't need a VIP-X Stag. I don't have a hole in my bag. But it seems like every off-season I...

If you're willing to look at other brands, an FD3 or Felon might be to your liking. Both are basically less meathook-ish Firebirds.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not trying to encourage someone to focus on accelerating. That's a recipe for disaster. But his initial question was "what is the mechanical reason for a reach back" and...

No, I'm aware of the difference. Hence why I said "Similar (although not same) concept with a reach back" and then went on to explain the difference.

But if a lateral acceleration example makes...

Call me crazy, but I think that Eclipse run had a bit of dome to it. Not a ton, but still more than your standard Envy. It feels more like a normal/non-gyro putter in hand and is comfier to putt...

Totally agree. Especially now that I don't play much in the wind, I think my favorite Envy would be that batch of Eclipses from a couple years ago. Just a hint of turn plus some added glide...

I do what others have already recommended. Use the same putter as normal but control the landing angle. For me, that means giving it a touch of anny at release so that it lands flat.

Trilogy mids go far. Warship, Core, Evidence, and Truth are all pretty neutral mids that absolutely bomb. Tursas is controllably understable and goes as far as most of my Speed 9 discs. And Emacs...

I dig it. I've always loved Envies even when not bagging them. I was trying to minimize molds a bit, which is why I didn't replace my last Envy that I lost a year ago in the snow. Figured I could...

I will answer my own question. Bought a Proton because the Cosmic Neutrons were basically camouflage baby poop colored. And the Proton Envy flew exactly like I remember my Neutron Envies flying.

Pads.

I can adjust to old or crummy baskets. But if I can't trust my feet due to horrible tee pads, then I lose a massive amount of both accuracy and distance.
