I'm 61 (today) with slow-to-focus eyes and poor hand to eye coordination, so I throw from a standstill. I also throw understable, lightweight discs, my favorite being a 160g Diamond (Opto plastic, 8,6,-3,1 ratings). When I get everything right, I can throw that disc about 250 feet, carving a nice "S" curve.
So, I bought $100 worth of MVP discs, thinking I'd be able to easily throw them - a Signal (6,5,-3,1), a Relay (6,5,-2,1), an Impulse (9,5,-3,1), etc. - all in Neutron plastic, and all 155 to 159 grams.
I thought these discs would be easier to throw than my Diamond, but they all seem to be as overstable as a saw blade. All I can get them to do is hyzer and crash.
I have heated them up and tried to bend the noses down and otherwise bend them in an attempt to beat them in, but haven't got to try them since doing so.
What am I missing? Did I screw up buying MVP? Any advice would be appreciated.
