MVP Disc Sports Begins a New Era
January 10, 2014

MVP Disc Sports has come a long way since the debut of our famed blue and red First Run Ion.

Today, we're pleased to bring something back from the beginning.

Introducing Axiom Discs, by MVP Disc Sports.

MVP's signature GYRO™ rim was engineered for performance -- the dense overmolded rim and seamless aerodynamics serve to maximize the potential of a flying disc. Add basic golf disc science to high-tech molding, and it looks like GYRO™.

Science gave us the look of GYRO™. But the funny thing about science -- sometimes it looks sexy.

Axiom Discs brings a new focus on style, with vibrant color combinations of GYRO™ rims on Neutron and Proton, new stamp series and foils, and a unique set of disc models to complement the MVP lineup. Axiom gives players more options for GYRO™-enhanced discs, whether for colors, flight profile, or feel.

Two new models will kick off Axiom Discs for 2014 - the Neutron Envy Putt & Approach, and the Neutron Alias Midrange. Proton releases of both models will follow soon.

The Envy is a stable-to-overstable putter with a beefed-up wing and slightly lower cruising speed and profile than the Ion/Anode class, making it high-speed stable with a dependable drop.

The Alias is best described as a stable Tangent. With a straight-stable high-speed portion and a little bite at the end, the Alias is a great placement midrange for hyzer, straight, and anhyzer lines.

Axiom Discs will be produced and distributed by the team at MVP Disc Sports, and MVP's signature GYRO™ rims will remain classic black and Eclipse Glow white.

The aesthetics of our GYRO™ rim coupled with central cores made with premium polymers has always had an appeal to throwers, disc dyers, and custom shops. The creative community in disc golf has embraced the look of GYRO™, and we look forward to seeing these throwers and artists bring Axiom's colors to life!

2014 has many more developments and releases in store for both MVP and Axiom Discs. We sincerely thank our fans and distributors for all their past and future support -- we are fellow disc golfers seeking to elevate the game we love, and it's an honor to feel that love come back from the community.

Best Regards,
The Teams at Axiom Discs & MVP Disc Sports

first
there you have it, folks! end of speculation! these look pretty sweet for dye jobs.

i am a little confused as to the nature of this enterprise, though: is this similar to the innova/millenium/hyzerbomb/discmania deal? or is this just the name of the discs with the new overmold colors? i'm curious because the "alias" already seems to be covered by your MVP lineup, so it makes it seem like someone else is coming up with the designs and you are producing the discs.

 

[Bamboot]

cool beans!

 

[madmax88]

So a whole new company? Why?

 

[Onyx]

I believe it is gametime!

 

[Kodachrome]

ah, nevermind. just saw the "teams" at the end of the post.

 

[disc qualified]

who's gonna start the axiom vs mvp thread?

 

[Nasty Nate]

Are they ever going to make Electron plastic? That's what I thought would be the next step...

 

[Kodachrome]

i don't know that i like this decision, but oh well. i wonder who is making the designs.

 

[madmax88]

When are these for sale?

 

[B3NDER]

FINALLY, all the psychics and theorists can give it a rest... until the next mess of a teaser.

i dunno about that. this is oddly disappointing. i'm not huge into MVP, but i thought what they were doing was cool. they just gave up their unique niche in the market before they even completed their lineup - of course they will be profiting, but eh . . . their image was a huge piece of their identity in this small DG world. now they seem to be sharing it. i'm all for promoting the sport and expanding, but this seems kind of weird and unnecessary to me.

 

[tbird888]

Are these different cores?

 

[BlueBells]

Oddly enough I think this announcement probably just raised way more questions than answers...

 

[Kodachrome]

Are these different cores?

i got out of my read-through that these are the same cores. just different overmold colors and discs, ala "trilogy" style.

reminds me of the iphone 5c. will be a selling point, i'm sure.

 

[Onyx]

Oddly enough I think this announcement probably just raised way more questions than answers...

Like whether the MVP Teams discs will be produced with Axiom Disc overmolds?

Like whether the MVP Discs can/will be stamped with these new stamps?

 

[Willay]

Oddly enough I think this announcement probably just raised way more questions than answers...

Bingo.

Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked! the colors are sweet. that's what attracted me to MVP discs in the first place. I'm wondering if they're just trying to change their brand name and leave the old stuff behind or something like that.

 

[Rogue9]

Not too sure about this. Neither of these discs excite and I don't really give a rip about colored rims

 

[Grungedude42]

Welcome to the Duology. (No, don't)
