Thank you for this. I appreciate the honest feed back of y'all preferences. It isn't an honest review if MVP just has 5 testers running around screaming "BEST DISC EVER, MAKES YOU ACE."
Honesty in a review makes it more believable, so thank you for that.

ZJ said it already, but to answer this directly, I wouldn't know... it's not something I think would be in either company's interest, and it was literally my leading premise to MVP in trying to set up this type of event.
In fact, I want those 10 test Volts used and abused before the giveaway. Also all the discs used will be uniquely marked from the event, in addition to their factory stamp. There will be no mint $300 Volt on eBay this Monday. Hopefully all 5 go into local bags.

I think that cmrichar should auction off a Vote or two on here. It would be fun to see how much they go for, like when he auctioned off those Proto Glow Ions.

This looks like a disc for me - more so than I thought after reading the first descriptions of the disc. If the turn in your vid is mostly due to wind, it looks really controllable and slow - like you'd expect from MVP's discs. The same headwind could exaggerate the impression of great glide, though.

about that... I've got a secret disc to show soonthose Proto Glow Ions.
might bring it out on Sunday, if any srs MVP heads are coming out, I'll bring my trio of crazyballs collectibles including #6 of the Proto Glow Ion and the proto Volt shown in early promos.

Am I the only one thinking that the Volt looks and sounds a lot like a TL (sans the overmold, obviously)?

looks better in wind than any TL I've tried, but yeah:
and that HSS=0 for the TL is bullInnova said:

I don't have any scientific proof but personally, the MVP's have been more consistent at different altitudes than other discs in my bag. With the decreased glide at altitude I've been consistently shorter with drivers since moving back to Denver. Also, the MVP's I throw (Anode and Vector) don't seem to flip for me like the other molds I throw when I first travel down to sea level. I'm pretty sure the Volt is going to find it's way in my bag.

I haven't been on this site in forever. It's good to read these reviews and see what's been going on with MVP. Thanks as always Mike and UPS!
My friend says "anoid" no matter how many times I assertively pronounce correctly in his presence.:doh:

maybe hes anoid that it goes so straight.
i cant wait to buy a volt. ESPECIALLY when the proton ones come out.
i also hope to find a bunch of them since i only ever see 13 year olds throwing mvps

You mind shipping all of your people and all of your test volts up here to Michigan?
In fact, just move everything to do with DN up here. Seems reasonable enough to me
The MVP line has become as close to a go-to lineup in my bag as anything else. I'm actually half expecting the Volt to replace my CE Eagles...everything they make is just rock solid.
I was a little disheartened to hear there would be no distinguishable first run discs solely from a collector's standpoint. But the reasoning behind it is logically sound and is exemplary of what kind of company MVP is. Seems to me like they've got the ambition and dedication to go far.

That ace run hole was in the short position so only 380' or so. I've bounced off that same basket with an Axis on a higher, straighter line.
Me and a friend who throws more 300-320ish are gonna go play a round with my Volts and I might film him if he's down to give lower power players a better frame of reference. Warmer today but still windy as balls.

So, after watching mike's video. Is the volt closer to a long qj or a beaten in 1.1 qolf? I didn't really see an eagles worth of fade.

Thanks for the videos as always Mike.
I finally got my Volts about an hour ago and I just got back from the field. I was just throwing shots close to full power and then aiming at random trees at random distances, so I only got a general feel for the disc. After I take it to a course or two I'll be able to compare it better to other discs.
The Volt has a lot of uniqueness to it's flight. Normally if I throw 4 of the same driver one after another I can start to see similarities to other discs, but I'm still not confident directly comparing the Volt to any other disc after a few dozen throws. Here are the things I can say for sure so far:
1. It's long...longer than I remember the protos being and longer than I expected.
2. It's a line shaping disc with kind of an old school Cyclone/EX type of pronounced turn and fade, ending fairly straight/slightly left on a flat shot. Thrown with more hyzer and it flips up but not over and fades strong but forward. The turn is slower than it should be for a disc so fast. It is by far the most turning/fading disc MVP has made.
3. Despite the movement in the flight the disc has a ridiculous amount of forward penetration...It was proving very forgiving when I was missing my line as it was getting good distance regardless of line as long as I kept it in the air.
The feel is great to me. It's a little shallow, but the profile fits it my so well and the plastic is grippy enough that I don't really notice it. I had no misfires today that I would attribute to myself getting adjusted to the grip. It is very smooth on the top and wing where the overmold meets the core. There is some noticeable flash on the wing a few mm's from the rim, though I don't feel it in the hand. I'm definitely going to be taking it off at least one of my Volts before I go out again to see if it affects stability.
I'm trying my best to be objective, but I'm really excited about this disc and I can't wait to take it to the course tomorrow for a full workout.

We're smart enough to not say that, but to tell people how it actually flies and compare it to other discs.
