Playing in a vibram birdie bash this weekend. Never thrown a vibram, never played this course, supposed to be windy as hell and cold. Sounds like a recipe for a glorious victory, amirite?
I throw pretty much exclusively MVP, so I ordered an Obex and VP...because they closely match the flights of the vector and a more OS ion (which I like the idea of). I really would rather not go into this completely blind, so I've got a couple questions, maybe somebody could help me out!
This course has some pretty tough dogleg right holes (didn't know that before ordering, whoops), and having 2 OS discs might put me in a bind. I know when I forehand my vector, I need to be really, really careful to watch the OAT problems, else it just will turn and burn right away. Is the obex the same way? Or can you shape an s out of it more effectively? Basically...I need to figure out a way to play these holes with discs not ideally suited to the layout...hah.
The other question...how does the VP work as a tweener Midrange/P&A disc? I guess, how does it compare to the zone in practice? Is it stable enough?
Does anyone else have problems with their VP rolling away. I am using a medium Xlink and love it outside of the roll away problems. I am hoping to get a soft one to see if that solves the problem.

Soft rubber is outstanding for preventing roll-aways, but I feel like it makes a less accurate putter, due to how easily it deforms. That's why I use soft rubber when the putting circle is hazardous, but prefer medium rubber for normal situations. Maybe some day they'll develop putters with soft rims and medium or firm tops, in a two-piece design like MVP makes their discs.
Had a 30 foot putt the other day and decided to use my new medium Ridge. I hit the front of the basket and it rolled away 50 feet. I learned my lesson, lol.
