[MVP] MVP Shock

[The Hammer]

The Anode is not over-stable and its a putter with a lot of glide..and you expect it to have "wind fighting ability"?

lol uh.. anyways.

This is a thread about the Shock, sorry I contributed to letting the topic get out of hand.

SO, i hear the Shock is a HSS 0 and LSS 1

Sounds to me like a faster version of the AXIS

Jesus christ! Are you really so dense that you completely missed the point?

The majority of his density is evenly distributed around his perimeter

Plex: Sounds like a good idea. I might have to do one comparing all three driver molds too.

If you can, compare it with an Eagle please

 

[Pwingles]

Try working on your technique and you might be able to throw some MVP into 20 mph headwind someday also.

I can throw them. And they fly very predictably........ To the right

 

[Pwingles]

I'm sure they can cover the FB type slot when they want. There are different things they can play around with, like wings, dome and rim depth. Anyone remember the FR Vectors that came out real domey and faded way sooner than the vectors we're throwing today? I actually just did the boiling water trick to one of my pancake Vectors that was getting a little flippy and made it super domey. Gonna go test it out today, but unfortunately no Shocks in my mailbox yet.

So is it an eagle?

You mean you still dont have them?

Hmmm. Would you compare it to an eagle?

Good to know that pdga ratings and brain power arent connected

I hope we can get along better in the future.

Stop quoting and responding to all of them then...

I dont hate you. You just drift in and out of your fan boyness, spewing your opinions forth as fact and trying to argue that 'more stable' = overstable.

So stop it. And stop making up flight numbers and flight paths for a disc youve never thrown

From the MVP thread.
Whew, looked like you were losing your mvp hard on for a minute. Sure am glad they acknowledged your existence and talked you off that ledge sir. That was close.

MVP doesn't make posts in their own forum anymore so who knows.. They like to hold everything back from us and not excite us with news of development of a "new driver" or anything for that matter.

Back a few months ago they were always updating us and now they have gone into shadow government mode.

For all we know they made enough money on the current discs to retire in the Cayman Islands and will not be developing further discs... who knows they are so silent and don't even sponsor any pros to get their product name out there to build credibility in their products.

I'm beginning to lose interest in MVP and gaining interest in trying new drivers from companies like DD and Prodigy.. Which sucks for MVP because i don't switch discs in my tourney bag after the start of a season and whatever i throw is what i rep because i try everything and chose what works best. So they better give us something before another companies disc secures a spot.

I am the one of the very few MVP voices in my community and have led to probably 100's of sales by word of mouth.. especially for the AXIS and Ion. And who knows how many have been influenced on these forums.

MVP is a great company but they have recently failed to keep the interest of the community (in my opinion) by withholding news, updates, and overall communication with people who enjoy their products as much as i do.

People don't like being left in the dark for too long. We want to know whats going on!!

sorry for the rant.. i just had one of those moments

Plex,

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for our absence. We have become even more busier with increased product developments and also still working around a school schedule. Nevertheless, we do still follow this official thread and will post any important clarifications.

We are generally always in continuous development for new products. However, the development of a new product requires several months of work.

As far as announcements or specific details go, we prefer to oversee our high quality standards throughout the full product development and production run before we release any information. We strive to set a new industry standard with the highest quality standards, and to abide by these standards requires a great deal of time. We do not like to keep everyone waiting for a new product, so we prefer to wait until a new product is ready to be launched before announcing it.

We have adopted this philosophy as a result of the launch of the Volt last year. We announced the Volt in the early production trials, but then when it came to production we were unsatisfied with the quality, so we worked to upgrade our facility to improve our standards. Consequently, there were delays with the launch of the Volt which lead to a lot of disappointment and people waiting. At the time, we ourselves did not even know when the Volt would be launched.

We work as hard as we can to stay in touch with everyone here on the forums and our Facebook page to keep everyone updated with the most accurate and up to date information.

Best Regards,
Brad Richardson

Well I never argued 'more stable' = overstable

Again, please try to focus here. The thread is about the Shock and not your resistance to new ideas and improvement in disc golf technology.

If you would like to debate with me further please send me a PM and we can discuss it there. Or over in the General MVP thread for example.

I'm interested in hearing about how the Shock is going to fly so lets focus discussion on that.

 

[Pwingles]

Sorry Plex, i have no plans of discussing that with you. You see, my boss is gone today. So im just here at the office, and im really bored. You made yourself Trollenemy #1, this will continue til 5, cst

I expect MVP to keep up on releases and keep us informed. Nothing wrong with that.

Also, im glad they announced the next day after i made that post. Couldn't have been happier to hear about their next release.

Whats your point with all this? You seem extremely disgruntled

Try to relax and be more friendly, no one is trying to flame you or take down your opinion.

 

[Pwingles]

Except the person reporting my posts.... Whoever that was

*turns and awkwardly looks at plex*

Anywho..

 

[811rv]

He acctualy does have some videos of throwing the volt in some wind, check youtube for thediscgolfvids

True, but hard to tell which direction and how strong.

Would love to see video that says "Here is 20-25 MPH headwind" while doing field work and empty the bag.

 

[plex]

So.. The MVP Shock!

fixed

FWIW I rated it 9 / 6 / -1 / 2 based on our flight tests
HSS could range from 0 to -2 depending on your power and throwing style

Would you say it flies like a Teebird? Or maybe a Wraith with less fade?

 

[Violets caddy]

Sounds more like an Orc than a teebird.
Too bad.

 

[Monkeypaws]

Banshee-like perhaps?

 

[New013]

Wow people.... I'm pretty sure it's been called very solf like which is like a longer eagle. Not orc, banshee, tbird, PD, fb.... Etc
