So, why even carry any other discs if the course doesn't have holes over 400'

There may be hope after all for my FH. After using the envy for flick approach shots, It just rides that flick so nice its almost effortless. Ive started to see some of the results show up on longer FH, too.

dope video Mike!
Great video as always but I'm more impressed by that course! Freakin' gorgeous! Looks like it could be tricky but fair. Which course is that, may I ask?

May I ask if it's G*Star floppy or just 'soft' like a gummy champ? I have soft Anodes, but found them pretty normal overall. In the winter, it was a rock like everything else. Hoping for something truly soft to stay that way when the temps drop and for sticking to chains.
I popped out my more LSS watermelon recently for a lighter Neutron to compliment my standard proton. Sounds like I can put it back on the wall after getting a few of these!
Great vid!

What does the soft plastic compare to? Is it like FLX?

That's not a terrible comparison to soft N, actually, but I have't felt up the production run yet.

It feels very similar to esp FLX. My esp FLX surge SS is pretty beat so it's a little grippier currently but i feel like the soft neutron will get more grip with seasoning.
If my protos are any indication, these will break in to be extremely grippy.
thepirate, these are softer than my soft proton ions & anodes, they're probably the softest discs I've gotten from MVP.

I bought an Envy about 3 weeks ago. I was really enjoying the unique flight of it. Then I shanked it off into a abyss of a hillside with no good marker to have idea where it went. Thankfully it's on my friends private course so there may be some hope in one day finding it.

Just got my Soft Envy in the mail, and it feels like a mix between GStar and FLX. Me gusta. It's going in the bag for a bit.
If MVP wanted to put out a plastic with this kind of flexibility in a base plastic...$$$$$$$.

This plastic. Mmmmmm. Supple. Grippy. So Tasty.
I love you Soft Neutron.
This was my first time seeing or feeling Soft N plastic. It was worth the wait. Think of a Soft Proton that's a little grippier, and a little more supple, and you can imagine Soft Neutron. It's a little more flexible than FLX also.
I tested this gorgeous 174g orange on orange Soft Envy against my regular N Envy. IIRC, the N is also a 174.
The flight is a tad more overstable, but it's subtle. The Soft has the same great glide, and awesome rangeability (is that a word?) as its brother.
I tried to test out the ricochet factor of the soft vs regular by throwing the two against trees and light poles.
Do you know how hard it is to actually hit a tree trunk when you want to?!?
I was able to get close enough to hit a few, and as expected, the Soft didn't bounce as hard. This will obviously be beneficial when you're on the course trying to hit all those trees.
I didn't get a chance to putt with the Envy, but I will on my next outing to the course.
The biggest sell for this disc will be two things: The glorious plastic, and the little bit of extra stability. Both of those things will be enough for me to bag the Soft N Envy when I use my full bag. The feel is too nice to leave alone.
