I agree, critically good class of discs that get less love. I think many have tried, but not quite got it right. FWIW, I do like the A1/A2 a lot. A1 has got a bit of a magic combo of fast Zone/slow Justice going that I like. I find it even slightly more OS than the Zone. Prodiscus Jokeri is...

Love me some Ultrium Jokeri. I keep trialing other things all around it from brands I throw more molds of, but that thing has a lock on the 3-4 speed stable-OS approach and short drive role. Totally reliable disc with nice glide and fade. I've bagged it for 2 years now and it's no worse for...

FWIW, song for Jomez as of Summer 2018 is Juiced by Starframe. I love this piece and paid my $1 for it on bandcamp. Artist was really nice and thankful for the buy - https://starframe.bandcamp.com/track/juiced

Had a chance to throw Particle this past weekend, finally. My first throw on a short, hyzer hole that I typically Envy - although parked nicely - struck me as being ... Envyish. Maybe too much so. As the round progressed I had many opportunities to throw both and found that I was settled on...

I can't think of a less inviting name for a basket than the Deflector :D MVP knows people want a slow-verstable gyro. My hope money is on gyro-justice.

Proton Rims Question - which may well have been answered somewhere earlier (apologies if so) - last year, there was a teaser photo of a proton rim accompanied by a suggestion that it would be something happening in 2018. Any more info out there if this will be a thing?

Sometimes their naming convention gives clues as to the intent of their discs (Resistor, Limit, Shock, etc). Dictionary definition of Deflector: a device that deflects something, in particular. a plate or other attachment for deflecting a flow of air. I'd side with the implication of a wind...

Was having a look at the PDGA approved discs and noted the MVP Deflector approved Feb 26. MVP Disc Sports Deflector 178.5 21.5 2.0 1.3 18.3 1.6 1.6 is a rim width not produced yet by MVP. This would put the wing 1mm smaller than the Relay and 2mm wider than the Matrix for comparison of...

I have a different take on the Ruru. I find it RPMs stand-out disc and have thrown all blends besides Strata (a bit slick for a base plastic). Magma is a fairly soft, very grippy base plastic which I really enjoy - feels like a fresh racquetball. Both Cosmic and Atomic I think are sorted more...

New Molds? With MVPs pace in releasing molds (and Axiom not too far behind) I figured we'd be seeing more than we have from Streamline. I hope they hit this plan pretty hard, so far so good. What would really be interesting is if Streamline produced solo molds of some of the MVP/ Axiom...

I appreciate that MVP/Axiom have taken their time with a wider release of Electron while they have worked out how to produce discs that fly like their premium brethren. I was very happy with my Electron Volt and wouldn't hesitate to drop a few Electron Envy's in the bag for winter/weather...

+1. Thumb track makes it stand out a bit compared to Zone as well. If you're looking for something Zone like, but different - A1 is the only disc I've thrown similar to the Zone speed wise which was actually even more overstable. Think slower Justice. I'm bagging A1-Slammer-Envy in order of...

In Finnish, Broccoli is called Parsakaali. You could go ahead and call it the Parsakaali and it sounds cool. "Shed those extra strokes with a steady diet of Parsakaali and increase the health of your mid game." A whole line of vegetable themed discs could emerge actually. Let your mind...

Ditto. Granted, at 1050m, Insanity is a decent all-rounder, but still understable enough to flip with confidence it wont burn. Also Relay is good for this, as is a lighter weight Crave.

I have found in several cases examples of Elasto/Fluid/Frost versions of discs being noticeably more stable than VIP/Lucid/Opto counterparts. I wonder if it comes down more to the plastic itself than any retooling between event and general sales. Sadly, no more Fluid. Will need to rethink a...
