Ive been playing DG for about 4 months now, and I started with a bunch of Innova discs, but fell in love with MVP discs. I recently did a bit of testing of Trilogy discs, played with a lot of great molds, they make some fantastic plastic, but i just love the way Gyro feels and flies, plus I love Plasma plastic, i try to get most of my discs in Plasma, I even putt with a Plasma Proxy. I wish more molds had plasma.
But, I notice you all mention that there is no Comet equivalent but I say thats the Theory, I threw a Big Z comet and a Plasma Theory side by side for most of a field work, and they flew almost identically, with the same crazy glide and slow flight.
Ive also just today found the greatness of an Axis. I bagged a Compass and Claymore in gold plastic for my mids, and I finally found an MVP replacement.
I also made a surprising change. I have replaced the Envy with the Particle. I use the envy as a driving putter for OS throws. They both roughly end up in the same spot, but the Particle goes straight for most of its flight, then banks a hard left, while the Envy slowly goes left. I like the Particle sharp turn. Its no Mortar, but it works. MVP definitely needs a hard OS disc like a Mortar. and a Hard OS putter like a Zone or Harp, they have great super understables, but no super overstables.
The Matrix is good, very Roc/Buzzz like, but I like the Vector more for that kind of shot. And the Tangent is nice, but i prefer the glideyness of the Theory. I am gonna try a Plasma Tangent soon
This is now my new and improved ALmost MVP only bag:
Putters: Swirly Neutron Particle (christmas edition), Plasma Proxy, Proton Spin (replaced a Lucid deputy)
Mids: Plasma Theory, Neutron Axis, Neutron Vector.
Fairways: Plasma Servo, Plasma Crave, Neutron Inspire, Plasma Volt (love this disc)
Distance: Elite Z Avenger SS, Proton Tesla (for forehands), Opto Villain,
I am just getting my throw enough where i can get some use out of Distance drivers, still a bit slow for them, but they make some good utility throws. I just tested an Avenger SS today, and love it, but I don't think MVP has any disc close enough to it. the closest I found using Inbounds is the MVP Impulse, but its a 11 speed disc vs a 10 speed. Proton Tesla is for sharp forehands and thumbers, and hopefully working up to it. My opto villain is unique, its actually super understable, but doesn't turnover and roll, it just holds a right turn. Its a 0, 3 disc but mine flies 3, 0 for some reason. I might take its measurements and find a similar MVP disc so it flies the same, since mine is "broken"
Sorry for the huge random disorganized info dump. I wanted to just give some thoughts and maybe spark some additional conversation. Along wih get help on finding an Avenger SS equivalent. It has a bit of turn and a slow slight fade for me.
But I have Brace/Nose up problems so I can't throw anything over 300 ft, even if the flightpath is corect, or the disc flies correctly for its speed.
I noticed MVP doesn't really have any discs in the 9 and 10 speeds. the power fairways are all 8, but compete with 9 speeds, so thats fine, but all the distance drivers start at 11 speed, even the Impulse. Find it a bit odd.
Again sorry for the all over the place chat. Wanted to get a lot of random stuff into one post, mostly because I love MVP and wanted to just go all in on the conversation.
