[MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Official Thread) (Part III)

[Qstick333]

So everyone, I am wondering something. Would an amp be comparable to a Valkyrie? Valkyries are a staple driver in my bag. I thought maybe volt, and a first run volt definitely comes close. Actually first run Shocks were about the closest to a good Valkyrie as I could find. I have never thrown an Amp so I am just wondering if that would be comparable. Fwiw I throw about 390-395 on golf lines, break 400 on pure distance. I have a very smooth throwing motion and do create quite a bit of snap, just rarely if ever put a full 100% into a throw.

I've thrown a bunch of Valks..... I think the Inertia is a similar disc with the same flight path, just a bit longer.

If you're throwing over 400 for distance and a Volt is close to your Valks, you may have gotten some mutant Valks haha I would say a max weight Inertia is close to a Valkyrie, at least in my experience. At 400, you can get a long hyzer flip, but anything less it'll be straight-OS. Amp might be close actually, though I've never thrown one. I've heard and seen that they're very very very straight though.

I definitely agree here. For me the Inertia didn't make the bag but the Insanity did. Maybe I will revisit the Inertia in the field. Throw it side to side with the Valkyries I have and even the Insanity. I know I can make the Insanity go boom. Aim witnessed one of my longest throws ever with an Insanity that he then graciously donated to my bag. Lol.

 

[brutalbrutus]

The first run volts were comparable to a valk, maybe just a tick more OS when new.

Notice I said first run Volts. Before they tweaked the mold, Volts had noticeably more turn than they do now. New Volts are more of a Thunderbird for me. Actually the two are interchangeable as I own both. I am going to try out the Inertia again. And I am gonna pull out my first run volt again as well to run comparison.

 

[Halcón]

The Amp has been compared to a Valk before, and I would agree.

 

[Halcón]

I was just thinking that the Plasma Amp has more turn, so the Neutron is probably closer to Valk.

What about the plasma Volt? I have heard they fly extremely close to the first runs. I mean as of right now, I am just carrying other companies speed nine discs, and truthfully, with the fact that I carry the entire Axiom driver line up, minus the Fireball, not really even sure if I need speed nines in the bag. Lol. Winter sucks. I think to damn much and it ends up costing me money.

 

[Halcón]

Plasma Volts are pretty much FR's. They really offer a beautiful flight, and feel great to boot.

 

[zendragon]

Another vote for Inertia as Valkyrie. It replaced the Valk for me as my max distance driver.

MVP starter set:

Crave
Relay
Tangent
Atom

Does this seem alright? I usually gravitate toward innova for the baseline plastic and usually light weights, but I figured I might try some gyro this time

 

[Halcón]

For a starter set you could skip the Crave and just go Relay, Tangent, Atom. Or Relay, Theory, Atom.

 

[geo_08]

Starter for noob? Then ditch the crave. If for somebody with experience ditch the relay and add in a distance driver.

 

[Halcón]

For a more experienced player, I'd say N Photon, Plasma Volt, N Axis, and N Ion. But there's a lot of great starter combos to be made from MVP/Axiom.

 

[the1discChallenge]

Starting for more of a noob. I figured the Crave would be a good OS slot if it was really needed, with the Relay, Tangent, Atom being the core.

This is true, but IMO Servo > Crave

 

[the1discChallenge]

This is true, but IMO Servo > Crave

Why Servo > Crave?

 

[brutalbrutus]

It really just depends on what your looking for. The servo has a slight turn before a good fade. Whereas the crave is straight with mild fade.

 

[Halcón]

IMO, the Clash is better than both the Servo AND the Crave. But, you know what they say about opinions.

 

[brutalbrutus]

You like the Sol spinners? I think the nati disc golf has a stack of them still...


yup marked down in price too
