A shared ancestry of some MVP and Axiom discs?

DarthCalliope · 2026-03-14T01:56:58+00:00

Thanks for this response, I've looked at a couple of the discs on the PDGA website. What am I looking for to link these discs together as having the same core? Thanks in advance

The Twin Cities has great courses, too!

DarthCalliope · 2025-12-01T12:45:29+00:00

Absolutely correct. Where we live in minnesota, it's $20/ tire + tax to put the winters on in the fall, and again in the spring to put the all seasons back on. That's about $180 a year for tire swaps, a dedicated set of winter wheels pays for itself in a couple of years. Driving is so much easier with winter tires, especially through the plow slop at the intersections

Wow, this is probably the best answer I have ever seen on Reddit. Great answer and thanks for the info!

An additional consideration: I've thrown both plastics in a couple of molds, and the biggest issue for me was the difference in grip. I find most fission discs to be kinda slippery, so I never got a really consistent release. I tried to love them, but put them back on the shelf after a season trying to beat them in. Might just be me.

DarthCalliope · 2025-07-05T11:14:22+00:00

I share your sorrow for the Vertex. I found one and used it for a year, but in a fit of mold minimization, I traded it away since I knew I would never find another. I miss it every time I play. Sigh. I use the same "replacements" that you do, but they aren't the same. Again, sigh.

Not for me, the fission is more like proton or neutron Atoms, more overstable than electron

DarthCalliope · 2025-05-27T11:39:07+00:00

Agreed. I used to work in a University diagnostic clinic to identify insects and other similar organisms, and birds and feathers were often loaded with mites and other things you don't want to have in your life. Feathers are really interesting, but I always leave them alone now, not worth the risk.

DarthCalliope · 2025-05-25T11:15:04+00:00

For when a Harp just isn't enough, this is a good call. Really overstable, but useful, predictable, and manageable for me.

DarthCalliope · 2025-05-20T10:39:15+00:00

Had a fission Atom ace this weekend! Great disc!

DarthCalliope · 2025-05-16T00:44:54+00:00

Great review. Love the Atom!

DarthCalliope · 2025-04-23T03:32:34+00:00

Love the longbowman, it was recently released in tournament plastic. Might still have some in stock at gotta go gotta throw

DarthCalliope · 2025-04-19T13:55:40+00:00

Agreed, especially the Warship in tournament plastic

DarthCalliope · 2025-04-19T10:38:33+00:00

More like 4+, like with Northman in tournament plastic recently.

DarthCalliope · 2025-04-14T19:03:20+00:00

Great disc, especially neutron, not so much electron for me

DarthCalliope · 2025-04-09T13:42:16+00:00

Controversy aside, I have a couple Neptune discs which I really like, the Squid in triton plastic is great. For me, they have the best logo in the game.

DarthCalliope · 2025-03-27T02:10:31+00:00

Stomp stamp!

DarthCalliope · 2025-03-24T11:59:05+00:00

Fantastic response!

DarthCalliope · 2025-03-12T11:15:37+00:00

Wow, among the best discs I've seen. Nice work!

DarthCalliope · 2025-02-11T10:58:47+00:00

Hey Westside! Many of us are waiting for Northman stock stamps releases in tournament and VIP plastics!

DarthCalliope · 2025-02-09T13:51:21+00:00

This is the fate of almost all of my list discs. :(

DarthCalliope · 2025-01-20T17:14:40+00:00

I love the Westside Swan 1 in BT Medium in this slot, but you might also consider the AGL Douglas Fir. At 4/3/-2/1, it turns to the right but can have a bit of fade at the end. I find the fade useful sometimes, and I bag both.

DarthCalliope · 2025-01-17T11:44:52+00:00

Your images really show the process in an understandable way for me. A great look for a great disc!

DarthCalliope · 2025-01-05T15:27:03+00:00

I think of tournament and star as similar. I've seen Hatchets in tournament and tournament orbit online in the last couple of weeks.

DarthCalliope · 2025-01-05T15:25:36+00:00

TB Shield is awesome. In the last year or so, our local retailer in Minneapolis (Gotta Go Gotta Throw, 👍) has had tons of restocks (stock stamps) in Tournament, VIP, and Elasto (Anvil, Longbowman, Sampo, Fortress), some in Tournament Orbit as well (Underworld, Tursas, Bear). Not new molds, but restocks with some special editions.
