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

[wolfmandragon]

If it is more OS when new, it wont stay that way. The fission plastic seasons a lot faster than the premiums but not so fast that they turn into flip machines within a year. If I had to make a comparison, I guess it would be Gstar. but I think Gstar seasons a bit quicker than the fizz. Though tbh, I've only had experience with the heavier fizz discs. All in the mid-high 150s, the lighter ones may season even quicker for all I know.

My fizz Volt is tougher than Plasma or G*

If that's true, then either you got a freak, or they ruined the best thing about fizz...:|

Mine is one of the early run fizz. I can't speak for the current run in a Volt.

 

[elmexdela]

my fizz doesnt season as quick as everyone says

mine after seeing about 1000 trees turned into a straight flyer minimal turn and minimal fade

i would compare it to an opto saint by lat64

 

[brutalbrutus]

Maybe the Volt just doesn't season as fast, or maybe they tweaked the plastic after the Photons? The two release day photons I have, definitely beat in to more of a Wave type flight within a year. Now, the one I use regularly, still turns like a wave but doesn't have much if any fade unless I don't throw it well. Whereas the Duality N I have, 3yrs later is still pretty much the same disc I bought, with just a bit less fade.

 

[elmexdela]

sounds like mvp inconsistent like innuvah

 

[PMantle]

My newest Volt is Shock stable. It just sits there on my rack waiting for a job to do.

Finally picked up a replacement for the Plaz Wave I left somewhere on the course last month. Got a 161g Sparkle P. I really hope this disc has the same late turn that the sparkle I used to have awhile back did...

opcorn:

FN or PFN?
Firmness?

PFN, slight jiffy pop dome and less firm than normal P but not what I would consider gummy.

 

[elmexdela]

pfn goin for a premium yet

Mine's been my go-to driver for a year, and the only difference so far is less fade. It doesn't seem to have picked up any more turn or glide.

I notice some variation in volts I have had especially between plastic types, perhaps some variation can also be attributed to people having different arm speeds. I have not tried the new neutron, but just got a new proton and it's exactly what flight numbers suggest

 

[ThomasOrion]

Anyone know how the PLASMA SHOCKS from the circuit flew? - I may get one used 172g I think - and Dark blue color (if that matters) -- just curious what they are like

 

[FinHatch]

Someone wrote they're more stable than others.

Dollar doing some work with the Phase, Photon and Envy

 

[in4d]

Dollar made 2 mistakes that if he hadn't made he would be leading the tournament after the first round. He has a lot of potential great to see MVP sponsored player doing well.

 

[Buiscutboy]

Not that this has anything to do with MVP, but I played a doubles round with Matt Dollar back when he was sponsored by Innova.

16/18 drives he threw overhand, and on the other two he threw a Condor.

Too bad he wasn't my partner...

 

[joots]

I'm here as an outsider, cuz other than field practice, I have never throw anything from MVP (I putt w/a Pilot, does that count for anything?). Anywho's, my 6 year son watches tournaments w/me and is quite taken by the overmold design that have been so frequently advertised. Now, I am looking to buy him a mid and a putter. I am leaning towards a Tangent and and Envy (hell, I might pick one of those up for me as well). Am I on the right line w/these two molds, or is there something else you would suggest? TIA

 

[brutalbrutus]

Problem with the tangent, unless you find a weird one, is they're not supposed to come in weights under 170g. You might be better off just getting him an Envy and a Proxy which can go down to mid 160s. The Proxy is more or less the same flight as a tangent but a putter instead of a mid.
