[MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

Pilots were my jam till the ohm came. Ohm is a gyro pilot.

The circuit firm pilots were so good.
I still have so many pilots. I can switch between them and ohms without issue.

When the proton pilots came out i exclusively switched to putting with them. Got one in my bag now. Its treating me well at maple hill for throwing. My putting yesterday was very suss. Nervous putting for some reason.

Grabbed a glow orbital and tempo at mst. I think glow servo too? I forgot already. Bought 4 discs.
 
Those ohms were really nice. I wish they would get more love... I was really happy they did that soft run though for the die hards, they are fantastic!!! (Sample size of 1).

Got some throws in with the eclipse tempo, loving the soft feel for eclipse.. I have some proto softish eclipse envy like that, Second best envy ever made. Next to the proto firm(?) Electron glow. If there was a steady rub of those my pixels would be obsolete.

Anyhow the tempo is decently beefy, pretty much same as neutron which is nice and love love ❤️ the softer feel. Still trying to wrangle the flight but that's a me thing, 10yrs younger me would have ditched the envy and gone full tempo/Pixel. Torque that thing to victory!!!!

So nice to see proton soft a thing again... yeah that's one for the OG(yro)s. You remember that shit? It was awesome..2024-10-0618.50.021733107355447417277.jpg
Tonight's round brought to you y "stuff I suddenly realized I should throw."
 
Some putting practice with the Electron Pixel and Pilot the past few days. The grip is better on the Pilot. They both fly the same lefty putt, aim left Center chains fade in. Electron Atoms are straight in. About the same number of misses, and makes. The comfort level is with the Pixel, 4 months with it. About 7 rounds planned this upcoming week. Leaving the MCO Pixel home, I'll take the two pinks, see how it all putts out.

Really enjoying my MVP open soft proton Rhythm. This one has a bit more dome(they all did at the shop) than my fission or older DFx neutron… but this thing is near perfect for my current throwing style and arm speed. There was another one with the same color combo just like this one that I may go back and pick up. Currently I can get this out 290-330 on clean rips from a standstill and has me thinking about the trace/volt/terra class of discs for something a little more stable when the winds kick up this winter. I'm finally getting that snap on release and the 7-9 speed class fit my hand well for backhand.

That and I though this image was too good not to share…IMG_6715.jpeg

I got my son a "reg" electron pixel and he is really enjoying it and he is coming to that from premium plastic pilots. I'm intrigued by it enough I may try one myself in soft ~165ish to be a longer C2'ish float it in on hyzer while hoping to actually make it. I'll report back if I actually make that decision.

I played Echo Valley this past June when I was up visiting family and really enjoyed it. I'd be a thoroughly happy camper if that were my home course.
 
@waltny Yay another rhythm fan! Right on man. AMAZING PHOTO... If you have the DFx Mandala rhythm it should be pretty beefy as a step up. Personally I'd say get a 165/170gish tesla for when the wind picks up a bit. I get a lot of use out of my 165 neutron tesla... I find a good tesla a little easier to find then a good volt, but I was spoiled on the early run volt.

I'm definitely a soft pixel fan but I haven't tried a light one yet, sometimes the heavy gyro stuff flies straighter than the light stuff, more overmold means more gyro.

Ffff I gotta go look for my rhythm in the ferns, sorry.. Bracken before it gets too dark... fcking plantologists I live with...

Edit:Rhythm recovered, black light for the win. Stuck up high in threat middle of the bracken.

I've been real happy with the tempo, I'm not a pyro/Entropy kinda guy.. I used to like my first run flat top esp zone... and buzzzes.. both as putters. Haha. The tempo is right there as some hybrid, farther than an Entropy or fresh zone, easier to range than a wasp and the soft one throws like a shorter buzzz with some bite but just as useful. Easy to throw(ish) but still plenty and reliably stable. Just a touch more beef than a stable envy but still capable of that straight to fade under more windy or torquey conditions. Hmmmm. Maybe it should be pronounced torqueeh I am Canadian haha.

Anyhow not something I need often but it's found competition bag space at least (big or small bag), it's taken the (optional) spot that was filled be a really OS Halloween spider envy or whatever. Great wind putter, everyone who screamed for an OS envy this is it!

It's kinda tough though 😄 the OTB soft is a smooth runner at 170g I can manage an easy turn and it's close to an envy. The neutron or eclipse 174g aren't as easy to turn but a hard hard anhyzer and I can work those weird choppy anny to ufo drop shots. I don't know which single one I want to take haha. OK I do, it's usually the otb but before I had that the circuit was with me most of the summer and that's the problem a lot of very similar discs. Wind starts blowing hard and I'm F..Ed.
 
I played a sanctioned league round on Sunday. I shot a personal best on that course, 8 under, 985 rated round. My putting came around strong on the back nine, I made 4 25-30 footers on holes 14 through 17. I was 4 under on that stretch with a 35 foot par save on hole 13.

It was super windy and unpredictable swirly. My main discs that day were the Eclipse Hex, Eclipse Crave, Eclipse Envy and Eclipse Proxy, with the R2 Envy from 2023 Gyropalooza as my putter. They all held the wind very well and flew true for me. The eclipse plastic is more over stable and grippy than other plastics, so I felt very confident in throwing them in the wind.

The zone purists are so against the "tempo is a zone" comments. hahaha.

I mean, of course its not a "zone"
Its mvp's version of the zone.

It has a bit more glide and seems far easier to throw.

A lot of people like the zone for an approach disc cause its lack of glide for a majority of players.
I'm not hip on that style of play. I like glidey stuff.

So the comment last night that cracked me up was "why would you want a glidey approach disc?"

It's not a knock on the berg/zone guys, but. Ya'll crutching to hard on those discs for your game.
I've played with a few people who fall apart without their zone. They are unable to approach the basket without it. That's a technique problem there bud.

It's actually quite amusing to me how tacky the eclipse plates are. I really enjoy it. Especially the newer ones as they have adjusted the mix over the last few years, man the newer stuff just has a different grip to it.

I'm sure the Tempo is great but I'll continue to limp along with my Berg/Zone crutches. Zones have plenty of glide, the main reason I decided to dial in the Berg was I was throwing the Zone past the basket on shorter stuff. I have mids and the Ohm if I need a glidey approach. My technique is fine, landing next to or in the basket is the the goal. I have more long throw ins by far with the Berg and a recent ace with e Berg X.

In other news - the Pyro has all but kicked the Quake out of my bag, which is shocking. Gonna grab one in fission, excited to feel the gyro effect with a non-prism rim and hoping they beat in a little easier.

The quake is good too.

Prism Rims dont have Gyro though IIRC.

This is a PDF of his page from archive.org I had to dig out to have this info again.

I want to do a video going over all this stuff again.

And I can't answer if they have since changed doing gyro in prism rims, but I don't think so.


Also, the technique comment isn't an elitist dig at people. Gotta play the game you like to play. If its bergs and zones, then rock the bergs and zones. But it still stands there are people who fall apart with out that crutch in their game. And that's a technique issue not being able to adapt your game play.
Some can, most cant.

I've been using a Neutron Rhythm and Fission Rhythm as the only drivers in my travel mini-bag. It's crazy how different they fly.

View attachment 352996
Regarding the underlined:

Those profiles are very different. Looking at that picture, those two discs flying differently isn't crazy at all. It'd be crazier if they flew similar to each other.

Oh man the fission /neutron rhythm difference is cool and on point with branding, meaning fission should be flippier... the neutron variations will be tough on small bag/ budget players. Luckily I've got space for an orchestra of those neutrons. Probably sound like the end of annagoddadavita only a cacophony. I can afford different backups I'm marrying that thing.

Really looking forward to eclipse pixels and finding out how they fly.. I really hope they are softish like the tempo and glow like that glitch, and fly like that envy. Damn those proto runs are amazeballs. I believe release day is tomorrow.

I've read a few reviews the eclipse pixel is a little overstable. The detour a detour. The Wave more understable than the previous eclipse release.the pyro stable with ending fade. Then again, could be different for the individual throwing it.

Awesome, I was kind of banking on a more true wave. The orbital is decent though. I think if the pixel is a little OS it will be close (or a touch more stable) to that coveted proto envy, like a said really hoping for one of the softer eclipse blends. I can use a stable pixel thos winter, by spring I will probably have the 2nd one in rotation.
