[MVP] MVP Shock

[keltik]

I hope it's an MVP Eagle-X. I still need to try a Volt. My Amp is understable.

EDIT: looked at the MVP site and did comparisons of their drivers. It appears from their disc profile images that they are steadily raising the PLH of the over mold to create stability. looks like the guys at MVP really do their homework.

Whoever it was the other day that was ready to renounce his mvp fandom probably feels foolish now

Mods... Better get your thread combining pants on.

I hate thread combination. Makes it impossible to follow a conversation

Very interesting. My Volt is only slightly overstable and I can flip it really easily. Looking forward to throwing this for sure! I can't wait for a high speed driver from them.

 

[smarkquart]

What? This disc has no ties to Prodigy? How can we speculate? Oh, wait, yes we can.

I hated the shallow rim of the Volt. The Amp was a little better, but that could have been my imagination because I have not checked with the PDGA standards to see if that is really the case. If the Shock is deeper still (thus normal), maybe I can give it a try. If it comes out like a PD, I know I can definitely find room for it in the bag.

Just as irritating to have 5 threads on the same subject. On with shock talk

I'd love to try these drivers out in the Proton Plastic. The Neutron plastic is a little too slick for me....

That would be enough to get discspeed out of winter hibernation!

My PD's are getting quite nervous in my bag. Doing right one disc a time!

 

[Subwire]

Stoked!

Why do I have the feeling the rubber lip will peel off the sharp edge on the first tree smack..........

 

[guiltyxbyxdesign]

so this sounds more like pd overstable than firebird overstable.

this is what im hoping for and it would be the perfect excuse for me to pick up an mvp disc

1. Not rubber.
2. I've ripped the Volt and Amp as hard as I could into trees no more than 10ft in front of me to test it, and there was barely a scuff.
3. The chemical bond between the core and overmold are so strong MVP took out the "latching system" they used to use in the old old Ions.

I've hit PLENTY of trees with my Volt, the overmold will never peel/fly/fall off.

I've literally folded an Amp in half, like tip-to-tip. The overmold stretched, along with the disc, and went back to shape.

ZJ witnessed this abuse. Multiple, prolonged full bend-in-half cycles, and the overmold did not separate from the core the least little bit. I was watching the most stressed point for any separation... none.

 

[zj1002]

Yep he couldn't seperate it at all

Literally bent in half. Enough to make some of you cringe

Interesting. I have one massive gouge in most of my Amps/Volts from playing this winter... Maybe the weather? Most of these gouges occurred while playing under 10 degrees

I have one gouge in one of my Amps, and that's because I didn't realize how sneaky long it was and it smashed into a parking lot.

http://www.mvpdiscsports.com/models/shock Should it say "Slightly Overstable" rather than "Stable" in "Tech Specs" list?

This is awesome to hear.

I know that my Volt is pretty new still, but has hit quite a few trees already. So far, my experience with the overmold vs. a tree is, it makes the tree set the disc down respectfully right by the tree, rather than riccochet it deep into the woods.

Hmm. Not going to put my Predators up for sale quite yet, but I wonder if this is more Eagle-X or Teebird stable. And I just bought a bunch of Eagles...

Sounds to me like CE Eagle-X Stable!!! OMG!!! YES!
