[MVP] MVP VOLT - The Comprehensive Thread

[plex]

Those ratings are just a guess.
I would rate the protos I threw:
8.5
6
-.5
2

Thank you Discspeed. I based those ratings on the disc measurements and what I thought MVP would produce. I have NOT touched a Volt.

That sounds like competition to your PDs... which sounds good to me.

Dang, I was really hoping for a 9 speed.

Nothing is official on the ratings, though discspeed knows his fligh paths I'm sure. There is a reason why MVP doesn't assign rating to their discs.

There's no standardized unit of "speed" for a disc. It's loosely associated with rim width, but there are a lot of companies giving glide and speed ratings that are somewhat arbitrary. Mostly a means to market their stuff.

 

[Phenn]

For my reference, how far does Discspeed throw? Just trying to get a handle on the proposed flight "ratings" with respect to distance.

Though, if the disc is truly a slower PD, I'm not sure I should be worried. I get plenty of work out of my PD's with my 300'-noodle arm...

 

[scarwig]

Any given disc company's speed is simply a point of reference to compare the speed of their other discs. People seem to be locked onto Innova's model.

Is Westside's King really 1 "unit of disc speed" faster than a boss? Hell if I know......

I have no idea how this could (or why it should) be standardized.

 

[justin]

I think it's a faster Destroyer but we're certainly off topic. It's a great disc.

As for speed look at Innova's speed ratings and notice how they pretty uniformly follow the rim thickness. I'm pretty sure a King has a 2.6cm rim like a Boss and the Volt has a 1.6cm rim like an SL and other speed "10" discs. I think it's 1.6cm. I'm not going to look at it again.

 

[GripEnemy]

Sorry to semi-threadjack, but flight ratings are ****ing guidelines. Why do people like 11x Teebirds over production run ones? Because they fly differently. Do they have the same flight ratings? Yup.


I cannot wait to throw a Voltopcorn::gross:opcorn:

Thank you Discspeed. I based those ratings on the disc measurements and what I thought MVP would produce. I have NOT touched a Volt.

The PDGA specs are a bit puzzling and misleading. MVP told me that they measured the rim width at 1.85cm, so I'm not sure where that 2.0 comes from. After holding it and throwing it I can say it is definitely more of a control driver than a distance disc.

 

[discspeed]

Dang, I was really hoping for a 9 speed.

That's splitting hairs...I rated it 8.5, but I could have just as easily said between 8-9, or slightly slower than a PD.

 

[rocthecourse]

^I was joking, I probably should have added a smiley face.

 

[discspeed]

I was rating the Volt using the Innova system. Speed ratings are garbage...The Volt is a fast/long fairway driver.

 

[EL-KABONG]

Are these flat or domey? Any profile pics?

 

[onemilemore]

Well crap, if the rim is smaller than a PD, I am giving this a shot. Just gotta find the lightest one possible.

 

[discspeed]

They are on the flat side, and that is how the MVP guys want them for the most part.

Might hafta try one

 

[Mulligan McGee]

I don't know if you answered this or not but how does it hand forehand throws?
