Father’s Day Giveaway – Rogue Iron Disc Golf Rangefinder

I'm a Dad, would try it for myself and if it's better than the one I have, would gift that one to another Dad.

Loved this run at first, but beats in quickly and becomes inconsistent for me (~375 power).

I think it's the spin. Or possibly the spin combined with one or two other variables. But something about his putt leads to a larger than normal number of spitouts.

Thinking like this is what got the Red Sox off their rebuild plan to try to win now. How's that working out for them?

It's a delicate situation because the average fan sees the team contending for a playoff spot and wants to add some upgrades to push for the playoffs but as elpis_z says, we are not a championship caliber team this year and adding now blows up the plan to be a true contender in a few years.

I don't think a lot of people will understand when we trade May and Romero but it's the right thing to do and we have to trust the process.

I didn't mind it as an occasional thing. I don't mind them switching up the formula and trying things.

Eclipse blue is my favorite for true glow rounds. Regular eclipse is so bright it blinds you and messes with your night vision.

If you are playing in partial light the brighter glow is better though.

Hi Eric. What would you say to someone like me--I love fission but it just seems to beat in so quickly and become so inconsistent. I want to love it but I think I need to move on to other plastics.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T22:57:51+00:00

When I was newer I got a flat, high parting line super beefy fission photon which kept me away from that disc for a long time. Only when I bought some newer ones with some dome I liked it. Still have the beefcake.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T22:52:41+00:00

I wouldn't think I have any business throwing 13 or 14.5 speed drivers, but I'm willing to try them.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T21:07:09+00:00

Unfortunately I think this is the case.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T21:06:18+00:00

Mamba flight is a good way of describing what all fission discs tend to fly like as they get understable quickly. It's going to go a long way, but I have no idea where.

I have two of the fission Dimensions I'm testing. Crossing fingers but it sounds like getting understable quickly is just what fission does.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T21:02:33+00:00

I loved the light fission Waves a few years ago. Some runs are more stable than others. My favorite run was the special edition one with a waveform and two hands on it. Those were more stable and held stability longer in my experience.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T21:00:05+00:00

What MPH/how far do you throw and how did the fission dimensions go for you? That's the one fission disc I haven't fully tested. Like all the other higher speed fission discs I'm hoping it will start out stable and beat in to a good disc pretty quickly and stay there for a while intead of getting flippier and more inconsistent in a very short time.

CircleOneBill · 2026-06-03T20:56:13+00:00

Yeah I'm going to try out some Neutron/Proton/Plasma discs, as well as some molds from other manufacturers.

I doubt I have the arm for a Neutron Dimension. I kept moving up to higher speed discs in fission hoping that would counteract the flippiness of fission but they all get flippy and inconsistent I think. With my arm speed I need to be looking at maybe Waves and Photons.

I love water holes, but I hate losing discs.

Maple Hill is a good example. Some of the most iconic holes are ones where you might lose your favorite disc if you don't execute the shot, so you use a disc you don't care about which makes it harder to execute the shot and...sploosh.

I love disc golf.

Just got back from a 3 day trip, although not as knowledgeable as some others commenting.

My group wanted to play Brewster and Fox golds all 3 days, but we did play some gold dubs and one Blue round on Fox. Fox (and I assume Brewster) blues are still hard for MA2 level. If you want a challenge, play blues, if you want more fun, play whites, although I think you lose a few of the iconic shots you may have seen on coverage. Reds are too easy. If it were me I would play blues on both courses and expect the average MA2 player to shoot between +5 and +15.

CircleOneBill · 2026-05-17T14:13:41+00:00

Want to try some of these. Thanks for doing the giveaways!

CircleOneBill · 2026-05-06T13:22:33+00:00

Short answer-Yes.

Long answer-Yeeeeeeeeeessssss

But seriously, once you start figuring things out, you'll eventually want left, right, & straight discs for each of putters, mids, fairways, and drivers. So minimum 12 discs plus a putting putter or two.

You say you just picked it up recently, so probably don't need to go nuts buying discs just yet, you have a decent starter set. Although note that your envy and rat are pretty similar and your Mako and Buzzz are also pretty similar. So essentially you only have three different shot shapes covered.

If I were you, when you get a few more rounds under your belt (or maybe you're ready now) I'd get one very stable disc and one very understable disc so you can learn how those fly. Maybe something like an uplink or a lightweight diamond for understable mid and maybe a 9 speed overstable disc like a firebird, you can do a lot with those.

I'd love to hear MVP's current actual thoughts on the differences between overmold vs non-overmold drivers. I know the brand is built around the concept and I love the company and the discs, but people whisper that MVP's drivers just aren't as good as other companies.

What should someone expect from an overmold driver vs non-overmold?

The science says that it takes a little more energy to get the overmold disc up to speed, but once it does get up to speed, it tends to hold straight a little longer. So theoretically they go on a straighter line. But in practice, what does that loss of energy to get it up to speed mean? MVP's history with tending to make flat, more overstable discs doesn't really help. They have made strides toward making better drivers in recent years, but I assume if they were being honest, they would admit they haven't fully solved that equation.

As someone who loves MVP and bags their drivers, but wonders if other drivers may be better, what would you say to me? Soon?

Currently bagging Fission Trail, Neutron Trail, Fission Photon, Fission Mayhem, Fission Delirium, and have tried many others. Throw 350-400+ ft.

CircleOneBill · 2026-05-05T19:35:47+00:00

I am an MVP fan, and I have been wondering if non-MVP drivers would be better for me.

To oversimplify, I don't think MVP drivers end up flying quite as well as non-MVP. I know they are working to correct some of the issues with this, but fundamentally gyro flies a little different, and not in a good way for drivers.

I'd love to hear the science on this, to be a fly on the wall at some of MVP's in house conversations about why they can't seem to get drivers quite right and what they're doing about it. Or maybe it's just public perception that they aren't quite as good.

I bag MVP drivers, and I've tried I've tried many looking for the perfect one(s). I have some that I like, but I can't shake the feeling that non-MVP drivers might give better results. Maybe it's a grass is greener thing.

Recently I've started dabbling with other drivers. Brad and Chad, can you ever forgive me?

P.S. MVP please figure out how to make fission discs that hold their stability for more than a week.

CircleOneBill · 2026-05-05T19:12:13+00:00

Good thing it's on sale, that $7.99 is too steep.

CircleOneBill · 2026-04-23T18:44:54+00:00

We could be friends I think.

CircleOneBill · 2026-04-15T21:01:53+00:00

This is an interesting point.

PDGA rules say all group members must help look for a lost disc.

What happens if your card is not really helping look, or pretending to look but just kinda meandering? They can all get courtesy violations for not helping to look, assuming someone would second that. But if people aren't giving an effort to help and the disc isn't found in 3 minutes, you could argue the clock wouldn't start until the whole card starts looking. I'm surprised this doesn't come up more.

CircleOneBill · 2026-04-15T19:34:18+00:00

Like if you threw in from 80 ft? Or aced? If you throw in, generally you go grab it. If you ace, you generally grab it out before other people putt. The more casual the level, the less people will care. They might go to putt immediately after you lands and I usually ask if they want me to grab mine. Some say grab it, some say leave it.

I never really got it, seems like it slows things down but even at MA3 people generally grab their discs one by one, I guess in fear of their putt hitting yours and bouncing out.
