[MVP] MVP Axis

[schfitzen]

When the vector and axis had a first run stamp many of them had some of the largest dome of any MVP disc to this day. Those FR vectors especially flew overstable. I have had many neutron vectors with similar dome that are OS as any other protons except my DGCR stamp (proton) which is flatter and straighter (more like an axis) ... If you go back to the release time in 2011 it was stated the flat ones didn't have the same LSS by MVP directly.

Though I am curious, how has the dome on the newer runs changed? I was looking through some of the pictures, and even my flattest axis looks like it has a bit of dome compared to some of the earlier ones.

I have only been throwing them for 8mos or so, I have no idea how the earlier ones fly.

sorry not offended lol just end up answering a lot of the same stuff didn't realize you were new to around here. Its not uncommon for people to not look anything up and just ask or assume what was previously stated b4.

As for "flat" axis/vectors I think they all have a slight dome for sure very few are actually flat topped and I always considered them freaks in that regard as they were nearly concave. Early FRs were just like current runs in that sense where given how flat or domey your disc was resulted in the stability it would have off the shelf. MVP has improved how their discs are made in general so I wouldn't be overly concerned with finding a certain run. I had some FR vectors I gave away and easily replaced with stock ones in the past year. Have a domey neutron and flatter proton but most are right in the middle with a slight mild dome.

I traded for three Axes since I like my newish throwback stamped one so much. Surprised to see that the older ones I traded for all have lower PLH regardless of dome (some of them are very modest dome like mine, one has quite a bit more but nothing extreme). Only messed around a little with them so far but the older ones all seem to have less HSS. My newer one has only a touch of high speed turn at 200-250, where I usually use it.

Also traded for a used Vector that is pretty much 9/10 condition and has slightly more dome than my Axis to see if I'd like to bag an OS mid with my Axis. But the Vector isn't different enough to bag. It just goes dead straight with a very late micro fade and a bit less glide. So I compared it to my Axis and my Axis has a higher PLH by about a full mm. I guess maybe that is meaningless with two different molds, but was kind of surprised by all of this.

What's going on here?? Haha.

But seriously, if anyone else has a new throwback stamped Axis, I'm curious to hear if they are also higher PLH / higher HSS.

just got mine

neutron pink 176....tasty so far. can hold a line quite well.
what does the disc stats clock in at speed/fade/glide/turn?
or does gyro have a different set of ratings?
such a pretty disc....i guess thats why it cost $30 at our local sports shop.

^ unless its some special stamp they are charging too much. Even if it is a special stamp, dang!

At least you won't need another one for a long time

Proton Vs. Nuetron. S'Th'Deal here?

Mvp isn't as dead flat consistent as everyone used to say.

Proton tangents I've owned have all had much higher plh than neutrons and flew more like an alias, reverse of what you are showing there. It was so significant that I would complement my tangent with another tangent. It probably isn't the case 100% of the time, I'm sure.

As far as axis specific variations, I don't know. But I'm not surprised you got a freak-they're out there.

So for a first gyro purchase, would an axis be a good place to start? Kind of lost in the mid department anyway.

Axis is very neutral, rewards clean form and gets good d for a mid.

If you want more fade at the end of flight and some oat resistance go with a Vector--an Axis with a bead

Those are freaky different. Do both the overmolds say axis?

 

[Rogue9]

I have a Neutron, Proton and Eclipse. The only one that is different is the Eclipse, it's Domey. But all the overmolds look the same. Those two overmolds look way different from each other

To me, and I am not saying this is true, that looks like a vector and axis side by side. That neutron disc, if stamped and the overmold says Axis, might be a unicorn because that's a huge freaking bead for an axis. Crap man, I am about to get out of bed to compare my neutron and proton.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Yeah that white really looks like a vector.

 

[MikeM]

Axis imprinted on the overmold. You can kind of see it in the first picture. Bigger bead on the Vector. What's a unicorn?
The two Axis do fly more similar to one another than the Vector and White Axis. Seems the proton is more understable. The White flies very straight. And the Vector is longer and more stable.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

They just meant a fluke run. Makes sense proton is a little less stable with lower plh. I never have thrown the axis much to comment on different ones. Id be curious which profile is the normal run.

 

[PMantle]

Is the blue one an Axis?

 

[MikeM]

Yeah, it is a Proton. Stamp and overmold claim Axis.

 

[zendragon]

It's been awhile since I've had an Axis, but I seem to remember mine looking more like the blue one. I think the white N is either a freak or they retooled it without telling anyone to differentiate it more from the Tangent.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Ill pull out my FR later and compare to the grey throwback in the box. Makes me wonder for sure.

I wouldnt say the axis/tangent were ever really that similar though.

 

[MikeM]

Now I too am curious which is the freak. I was assuming it was the blue one but I don't have enough experience with the Axis to know.
