Recently I've been loving the Insanity. Is there a similar disc in the lineup that has a touch more HSS and headwind resistance?

Streamline Lift is the next bump up from the Insanity/Inertia in the MVP family. Wrath and Tesla are both quite a bit more stable.

I have a Lift but I don't find it that much more turn resistant. I'm looking for a good bump in HSS. I'm going to keep an eye out for a Wrath to try, thanks for the recommendation. I play a 430' headwind shot pretty often with a full length right side OB. It's perfect for testing this slot.

For a second I was like whaaaaaa????????
Then I realized you meant Eclipse 2.0 Envy. Not a whole new Envy.
Yes. Or hold off until Halloween and wait for the special stamp on the glows.

I need to find a 164 Trace.

I have two 167g Proton on the way. Friend of mine said they are more OS than you think at that weight still. Im excited. Should be bombers and the plastic is pearly sexiness for 12$ shipped!

My finding is the lineup is for HSS - Wrath - Tesla - Inertia - Lift - Insanity. I no longer have 430' power (at this point, I'm lucky I have 350' power) but for that type of shot, I'd throw a Wrath (or step up a speed and throw a Defy).
I knew they would do that, but I bought two backup glow anyhow from the first run.. They are pretty awesome!!!!!! Now I need two more 2.0 for night rounds
the reactor glows all night!!!

If the wind is bad enough, I throw my Discraft Punisher (12spd), it's the only distance driver that's ever been comfortable to me. I'm trying to get away from larger rims as they just don't give me the best release with my grip. As soon as I see a Wrath in store I'm snagging a couple to try out.

I love my Insanity/Wrath combo. It was what I would have suggested. They pair together great. I'm not throwing 400' though (max about 375' on a good pull with a Wave), so you may experience something a little different.

For those that have thrown both - how does the insanity compare to the mantis? My primary 'want' in terms of flight in my bag is that mantis flight (some turn, some fade, not too much of either where working multiple angles is tough) but with a mold that is actually in stock - and a mold that I can pick up locally

Just pulled two MVP Axis' from the closet yesterday to give them a test run for my mid slot that I can power up. Really liked the way they fly, does MVP still make these? Or a similar mold under a different name?

I've read some of these posts and still have a question about MVP/Axiom discs.
Since they are 'gyro' discs, is there anything different in the way they have to be thrown versus other discs?
I've bought some MVP/Axion discs as I thought they might give me more speed/distance over a non-gyro disc with the same numbers. But I find the MVP/Axiom discs just don't fly as well thrown the same way. I really wanted to like/use MVP/Axiom as they are flatter top discs (in a lot of cases) which work best for my forehand....but they are still sitting in my closet. I take them out every now and then for testing in a field...but they end up back in the closet.
For example...Inertia (9/5/-2/2) vs Valkyrie (9/4/-2/2). The Valkyrie is more consistent and gets more distance than the Inertia. Same with a Resistor and Rival....the Rival performs way better than the Resistor. It makes me think I must be doing something wrong when I throw a MVP/Axiom disc. Or maybe gyro discs just aren't for me.

Unfortunately they are oop but the reactor or matrix is the replacement.
In answer to BillF.. Yeah gyro discs are pretty unforgiving if you are throwing nose up they don't like it. Generally I would say the speed rating should be a notch or two higher and that most people would benefit with going 5-7g less than normal. The coolest thing is the way light weight discs still maintain a very usable stability. I often think back to my first Ion/mvp disc, I couldn't throw it worth a crap! Everyone here was raving about it and I'm like wtf but I kept at it, I used to have a lot of nose up issues.

I haven't thrown a reactor yet, but I'm guessing that's more the direct replacement than the matrix. I actually bag both a proton matrix and a plasma axis.
I say that but.... My replacement plan for my axis is a electron matrix. My proton matrix is quite a bit more stable than my axis. However, electron is supposed to be mellower, and if nothing else, could wear into that spot.
So, in conclusion, reactor or electron matrix are probably your best bets.
My experience is that the Electron Matrix has about a -1 turn and wears to a near 0 fade.
