[MVP] MVP VOLT - The Comprehensive Thread

[thugjitsu]

God I thought this was a discussion not a pissing contest. We should start over.

Hey guys you hear MVP is coming out with a stable distance/control driver. With a new plastic line called neutron. So let's discuss the 'Volt'.

Loving it, what other manufacturer can generate such a pissing contest?

Has everyone run out of stuff to speculate/ask about the Volt? /thread?

More number comparisons!

Let's speculate as to why they needed a new plastic for their driver
Everyone says weight, I say grip.
One of the biggest complaints from non/anti MVP throwers has always been the plastic is too slick. People trying to strong arm a proton driver 400' would surely complain about its grip, especially in the hot sweaty summer.
Thus a new plastic was needed.

This. The new plastic looks like a star/esp type plastic so grip is going to be amazing on this. Also, I think its because people have been wanting opaque plastic to come back. I'm sure dyes are going to look amazing on them.

Thank god they are reproducing their old plastic. I loved that.

Not the same as the old plasti according to them. New blend. Only difference between the opaque proton and the candy is a colorant.

I doubt it's weight. The guys at MVP are smart enough to be able to add or subtract the right amount of weighing agent to the overmold while being able to keep the core as light as possible. Look at it this way, the Axis and Vector are both wide diameter mids, yet they still fly fine with proton plastic. It'd probably be roughly the same weight core as the Axis or Vector because of it's smaller diameter. That's how I think of it at least.

I'm hoping that it's for grip, though I don't really think Proton is slippery (I actually think it can get too sticky/tacky) unless it's wet out, in which case everything but Vibram is slippery. I don't think the plastic was NEEDED, but it's a very nice addition.

MVP could be catering to those that perfer a softer plastic for their driver. I know of a few (As well as myself) that enjoy the ESP/Star/Goldline in their drivers. Mid wise I've always enjoyed harder plastic, which is why MVP interested me as much as it did when it came out. Where I throw (WNC) the general complaint about MVP was the hardness of the plastic, so if this was a sample of other areas, they are just trying to broaden their base.....that and force us all to buy more of their plastic
