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

[Aim For The Chains]

you threw my perfectly seasoned P volt. brand new they are a touch OS but that's not a bad thing. never beat one to flippy but its possible you would just have to thrash it purposely or buy a super used one. People like the "FR" lighter weights or ones with a little dome b/c they had some high speed turn off the shelf but most volts have always been this OS. i posted a profile picture of a FR black volt and that same proton you threw but when it was new and the PLH are the same.

You can count on volts now starting a little OS but really season into a hell of a disc IMO.

Its the MVP PD. Tesla is close too but just not as straight.

I think if you have decent power, definitely. The newer Volts are too OS for me, especially considering I'm a lefty and more often need the turnover/anny line than the straight to fade line the Volt specializes in. But there is a reason people still love them, even with the other MVP drivers out there now. They handle power well and bomb in the right hands.

I recommend a 150s inertia. Very easy turn and great control. Help you make some of those rights shots.

obviously this is a niche sort of deal, but the teslas that i was talking about before are incredibly straight. quite happy with them. they ARE the longer teebird for me. next time we meet you need to throw one.

hopefully i can find some more.

 

[dwayne.hoffman]

The Inertias come in light weights? (Cue record scratching). I need to buy some...

 

[Rogue9]

Yup, they do. And they bomb

 

[Halcón]

They bomb is right. 150's Inertia, FTW.

 

[asc349]

Are the 150 Inertias really flippy? Neutron or Proton better at that weight or about the same.

I have a N 171,167 and P 171

 

[onemilemore]

Haven't seen many of the 150 class drivers lately, but I may need to look for a light Inertia. Good call Rogue.

So, today an MVP disc ended a two year search for me. It was just in field work, but, the Tensor is the mid I have been looking for. I have tried the Roc, Roc3, Shark, Shark3, and Cro. Buzz, buzz os, wasp. And a couple others. Did not click with a single one. But the Tensor, oh the Tensor. The minute I picked it up, I was in love. It just felt right. And the flight is exactly what I want. Glide, great hss and plenty of lss. I so wish I would've given MVP a chance sooner.

 

[Halcón]

^ Tensor doesn't get much love, but it is the real deal. Congrats on finding "the one."

Not at 300' of power. I can hyzer flip it, through it flat and straight, and make it turn from flat depending on how much snap I give it.

Only thrown neutron. I immediately bought a black up same weight in case I lost it. Great disc.

tensors are WACK. it nothing but a less good vector. throw the vector.

Meh. I throw what feels right. I might try a vector, but it will be damn hard to get the tensor out of my bag.

 

[Mike C]

If you want the most OS overmolded mid the Tensor is better. The Vector is a great worksehorse moderately overstable mid, but it fills a different role.

On another note I think I'm going to throw a Vector back in my bag when I get home. Been a while since I've bagged one and they feel so similar to the Axis that they make a natural pair. Dropped Tensors and Vectors because I carry the Envy and Resistor. Dunno if I'll keep it in there but I feel like throwing this nice green FR I've got again.

 

[BrotherDave]

Apparently these OS Tensors never made it to NC b/c every Vector I've thrown has been more OS than every Tensor I've thrown. :\

 

[Mike C]

Let's play a round sometime and I'll bring an OS Tensor out

 

[laramiecarlson]

I went last weekend without the tensor in the bag. The one time I trusted my vector to get out there and fight the wind, it flipped on me. Back in goes the tensor.

 

[zendragon]

Envy is in the finals at All Things Disc Golf for disc of the year. go vote for it.

 

[thePiRaTE]

Vector vs Tensor:

Vector has a bit less HSS and is longer.

Tensor has the most HSS of all MVP mids and late, yet certain LSS. It is the T-bird of mids.

Both are good - but thinking of the the Tensor this way will help frame it's strengths.

That said, I still am waiting for an untick in LSS in a Proton version.

Why isn't the alias more popular?
