How does the VP compare to other overstable putters, like the Pig/Sinus/Zone?
I mean the flight path, not how it feels in the hand.
I did look on the Inflight guide, and it was a little less stable for them. But I want to read what other people have to say.

My overstable Ascents are 175 and 174 g and seem to have a little more dome than my other two. Other than that, they're pretty darn similar, even in PLH. I can't visually confirm it, more of a feel thing, but the lip on the wing of the OS seems to be a bit more pronounced.

VP is right around Zone/Pig overstability, I don't have enough experience with those two to really give you an in depth analysis. But the VP is plenty overstable.

I agree. When I bought some Laces, I got 3 weights, 161, 167, 173. The 167 is the primary driver in my bag. I use the 173 if I'm dealing with headwind or want a little more of a fade at the end. The 161 is more for uphill shots or downwind shots.
There are some of us who already say that!
Ya beat me to it!
But I'll give you one of these :hfive: since it seems we are in a select group.

:hfive:Right back at you!
Although I do have to say that I understand players with bigger arms needing a massively overstable fairway or more overstable distance driver. However, my max weight Ascents get the job done for my noodle arm, except in really stiff headwinds (so I will definitely add the MOSFW to my bag). And I love understable discs, so I'll add anything US that comes out.
Lame. Make a lid instead. :|

So since I'm a recent Vibram convert-in-progress, and am in LOVE with the ascent and ibex, can anyone clue me into what the heck a MOWFY is, and why the -bex suffix fascination for an upcoming UBEX and the other one? Just curious!
MOFWY = Massively Overstable FairWaY driver
The "-bex" suffix comes from the way in which they named the "Overstable Ibex" the Obex. So, it makes sense that an understable Ibex will be called the "Ubex." This is purely speculation, however, as for the naming of Vibram's future understable midrange disc, as they have not formally announced it yet.
Welcome to the obsession! Try some Vibram putters... They are scary amazing.

Tony, have you tried the Sole yet? I've got a spare laying around if you want to.

Dude, when did you turn into a hot girl?
I have a sole, and actually am unimpressed...because I can't get the dang thing to drop! Mega-glide, and actually pretty stable. Very interesting utility purposes, but it's too tall for my tiny hands to do much with in terms of putting. And I'm already set on wizards for driving. Just picked it up to see how it could compete with my SSS warlocks, and they win for now.

Not just any hot girl, but KP! Try to get ahold of Brahsco, he'll be more than willing to let you try out some Vibrams!
PS. GO TO SLACKER TOMORROW.

Nononononono, Katy Perry. Stop working so much! (that may be a little hippocratic).

....who's Katy Perry?
Also, no joke. I'm working on getting better hours. But they pretty much don't exist. ALSO- I feel bad, but I know a few guys on this site, but never remember who's who. I'm guessing Sam?
a beefy wizard is how i would describe it...not quite as long as a zone. i think the zone is more of a midrange. that thing is long and very overstable esp at slow speeds.....
i threw the vps from day one but ended up getting more travel with other discs...but i need the overstable slot to do both mid and putter duty.

I think this is pretty close; although for me, it flies like a champ Rhyno that sticks to the ground; little to no glide, slow-beefy, and a good chip shot disc.
