    [Drivers] Blizzard Boss Equivalent or better?

    As much as it pains me to say this, I completely agree with the post above. I throw an all MVP bag with the exception of my first run Bliz Boss. I love the consistency of MVP but even the distance drivers just don't glide or carry like true distance discs. The Photon flight looks identical to...

    [MVP] Photon (11-12 Speed) Distance Driver

    Similar to early "good" Blizzard Boss Got mine today and threw it about 10 times in an open field next to some other similar speed discs (Trespass, Hurricane, Destroyer) along with my Tesla and my first run Blizzard Boss which I love. The Bliz Boss is one of the old school versions with...

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Official Thread) (Part III)

    I bought two in the 158 range for my 9 and 5 year old boys. Perfect for them and gets them started on the MVP/Axiom drug :D

    [MVP] MVP VOLT - The Comprehensive Thread

    Loving the Plasma! Finally got a chance to throw my new Plasma Volt yesterday. I had lost my first run Volt a couple months ago and missed it badly. Throwing the Plasma was like having an old friend return. :clap: Very straight with some controllable glide. Great disc. I can't wait...

    [MVP] MVP Plasma!

    Yeah, and they were really sweet. I had one that I sadly lost in a lake and it flew completely different than the other 3 Tesla's I've owned. Much straighter with better glide and less fade than the Neutrons I have in the bag. It was a laser beam with my sidearm out to about 325-350' which is...

    Don't call it a Reachback...

    I've been thinking about this a lot lately and found this paragraph in one of your articles HUB: "Next, I'm done calling it a reach-back. It's now a back-swing. Reaching back, bending at the waist and getting my weight too far over my back foot took some serious work to undo. So it's a...

    [MVP] Atom

    Got 3 in the mail today - all regular in the 173-174 gram range. Love the feel already and a quick practice round of putting showed good results. I throw almost all MVP and have used an ION for my putting putter for the past few years. The one thing that always got to me a bit with the ION...

    Son Hitting Shoulder On Pull

    I do this occasionally as well. I tend to do it more on turnover shots so maybe pay attention to what type of shot he is trying to throw when it happens. If he is too close to his body and trying to throw a turnover or a torque monkey drive with an over stable driver it is really easy to do...

    Need help overstable discs for Sidearm / flick

    Thanks Sidewinder. I guess I'll give the Avery grip another try. That seemed to be the next best option for me. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post along with the time you spend answering posts from everyone else. I don't post much but I read a ton and you also provide...

    Need help overstable discs for Sidearm / flick

    Moving from Fairway to Distance with FH? Figured I would tag along with this thread. I primarily throw RHBH (max about 425'). I have been working hard to add a FH over the past year. I actually feel more comfortable flicking putters, mids, fairways then distance drivers. I use the FH...

    Best brand new player stories

    I think a lot of it depends on who you play with your first time. If you take someone who has an athletic background and pair them up with someone who understands and can teach them some basic technique during the round I think you would be surprised how well they can do. When I started, I...

    [MVP] MVP Tesla

    Loving it FH, BH not so much I have both a 175g and 160g Tesla. I throw primarily RHBH (400-425 with control max distance using speed 12/13 drivers). My bag is all MVP other than my highest speed drivers and I have been throwing the Volt since it came out and love it (up to 375' dead...

    How far is your max distance. what disc do you use for max

    One thing is you have to throw higher than you probably feel comfortable doing. Most guys I know that throw 450+ consistently throw what looks like is going to be a high stall hyzer but then it flips up and over into an anny where it glides forever before it fades out. Trying to throw a 450+...

    How far is your max distance. what disc do you use for max

    I feel old now. I'm 36 and max between 425-450 on flat ground, no wind. I've hit 500 a couple times with a decent tailwind but that is with a huge anny and very poor accuracy expectation. 450 is really not that uncommon where I live. Anyone claiming 500+ is either optimistic or has a cannon...

    left hand backhand vs right hand forehand

    I'm primarily RHBH. I added a RHFH shot this year and it has really helped. I tried LHBH first since I'm fairly ambidextrous but found the FH was more useful on the course. I like being able to approach shots without turning away which is obvious. The bigger advantage though was I use my...
