[MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Official Thread)

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

Good answer. Only thing I wanted to add is if you ever have an Axis or Vector that is flatter than you want, or its gotten beat in some, you can use boiling water to add dome and overstability.

I had a few eclipse Vectors get concave from sitting in my car with stuff on top of them. Boiled some water and poured it in the upside down discs while they sat on a bowl, then weighed down the center. My once flat eclipse Vectors were now closer to the super domey FR Vectors and gained some additional high and low speed overstability.

I've done it a few times since with good success. Actually have a Volt that got a messed up flight plate that I'm going to experiment with soon.

I've done this also with Vectors so I don't have to hunt down FRs. As for doing it with a Volt, it adds quite a bit of stability to them. I barely get any turn out of the ones I've done it to.

Will we be seeing a baseline plastic anytime soon? Will the drivers end up being produced in Proton plastic??

Baseline plastic soon? This may happen far down the road. Right now it's easier for MVP to use what they have, then to waste time testing new plastics. They could surprise us, though. Chad and Brad are crafty little buggers.

Drivers in Proton? That has a better chance, but there's no official word, yet.

So you have talked to the brothers about this bigsky?

I don't think that's what he's saying. I believe he is using basic logic mixed with first-hand experience. I could be wrong though

 

[rocthecourse]

^The could make cores out of base plastic without much trouble, but attaching them to the existing over-mold could be a challenge. Since they use a chemical bond to attach the over-mold to the core the new plastic would need to be similar to what they are using or they would need to figure out a new way, or chemical, to make the bond( I'm not a chemist.)

BUT if they did a core AND over-mold in base plastic that might be easier.

Exactly.

I think that if they made a base plastic Ion, they would see a lot of people switching from wizards etc. But since they don't, I keep throwing wizards, aviars, challengers etc. I don't much care for premium plastic putters for putter duties. I have a Ion and Anode I use for approaches, but its wizards/aviars in the circle.

 

[Rogue9]

Exactly.

There is no logic in that. That is pure 100% wild ass guess. No one knows what they are or can do. Look what they have done in the last 12 months, 3 new drivers and one new plastic at least. You have no clue how hard it is for them to cook up a new plastic.

I'm not even sure this deserves a response. :|

Let's just wait and see what MVP has in store for us this year. Then you can look back at this thread, and see if what I said was logical. If I'm wrong, I'll have no problem admitting it.

 

[Rogue9]

Whether your guess comes true or not has no bearing on how logical it is. Just tired of you talking like you know what's going on behind closed doors at MVP all the time. It's all speculation whether it comes true or not.

I'm sorry, you're right. WHAT was I thinking?!? I won't ever post in this thread again, but only because you asked so nicely.

MVP has stated they're going to focus on filling up their line-up at the moment. They aren't currently making a baseline plastic and the fact that you'd have to cook up a new rim which would take time finding the right chemical mixes, directly interferes with their current objective. Neutron is so much more like a grippier proton than a whole new plastic which in theory would be a easier "adjustment" to a current plastic(proton). Also MVP had said that the volt/amp/shock have been plans for over a year(at least names and estimated flightpaths). Not taking away from MVP because they are my favorite company but you are being dumb Rogue9. Just saying what MVP has already said but to you that's a completely uninformed guess.

When did they switch from thermal bonding to chemical?

 

[Halcón]

McJesus, your post is totally illogical. You are just guessing.

Oops, I said I wouldn't post in this thread again. That didn't last too long.

 

[zj1002]

From the very limited tidbits I hear he ain't that crazy in his reasoning. But I won't say what's right/wrong.

Bear in mind I provide ZJ with made-up information all the time.

It's just a matter of time until a bunch of wishlist items get tackled. Players have 3 drivers now at the start of Feb'13... few people saw this reality a few months ago when the Volt's impending release was the topic.

The timing and exact order of developments is just gonna be a lottery we all get to play .... :hfive: or :wall: or :clap: or :\ but eventually a majority

 

[Halcón]

...Beyond the chemical bonding process, separation of the materials will not occur post production.

Straight from the horse's mouth, from an older post.

Violet's Caddy, I believe they have always used the chemical bond, even with the first run Ions. They originally used the interlocking overmold because they were unsure of the strength of the chemical bond. They then switched the overmold/core configuration once they realized how strong the bond was.

Rogue, you need to cool your jets and/or have a drink. What he said was not a wild guess, seeing how everyone (or at least most everyone) is agreeing with him, and you're the only one who is adamantly opposed.

[Violets caddy]

Somebody get Mr MVP in here because last year when I talked about how the two pieces were bonded via chemicals he was quick to point out how wrong I was :\
But there's no way I'm searching through thousands of pages of dozens of threads to find it.

Anyway carry on, this 3rd shifter is going to sleep
