Thanks Simon for donating some signed time-lapses to the Lewiston Strong fundraiser tournament up here in Maine!

[@jakehudock393]

This is so cool of you to address this issue that is faced by all manufacturers, and to take the time to share your testing so people know exactly which disc to go for based on their needs. Simon is a real one.

[@thomaswinzy]

I mean he kinda had to after Drews video. not say he wouldnt have made it without it, but now he has to.

[@az1448]

Who takes Drew's videos as advice? That's like Eagle making a video on forehand discs. Nobody throws like that but you

[@thomaswinzy]

@@az1448 I don't understand your point. My point is that in Drews video he had a convo with simon saying the discs are trash and simon saying yeah i know, something went wrong but they will be better. Simon making this video supports his claim and im all for it. but it had to be done.

Well so much for me getting a purple and blue one now. My Pyro nomad and vanish are blurple. My favorite color disc.

This kind of heads up and owning the reality of the production process is classy and why we all love you Simon!

This is why Simon has become the people's favorite, his editing has gotten better, which was for me very good anyways. He's disc golf entertainment. ❤ Congrats Simon on all your success in many different aspects!

[@richardlittle2816]

That was the funniest opening ever. Laughed so hard at the end. I pre-ordered one already for my nephew and thought I wouldn't be able to handle one because I have slow arm speed bit may try out the different colors and see if it will work for me. Great insight.

[@morst4755]

The insight to the molding process was really interesting. Would love to see the process of making an overmolded disc at the factory. The engineering facinates me

[@TheTromboneguy33]

have you seen the new smarter every day video on it? very cool

[@airiqtibbits2387]

I've worked in plastic extrusion since 1988. I still laugh when my operators wonder why the process is different today than 2 weeks ago when we ran the same part... 😂 So many variables in extrusion, and I'm assuming injection molding is close to the same... SOME DAY, I am going to see the process of making a disc!!!

[@codychamberlain386]

Not gonna lie, when he stepped up for that last shot at the end I was expecting the Ace lol. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!

[@packingbacon]

I LOL'd

[@throwinhard]

Injection molder here. It takes a massive amount of investment to make sure most variables are dealt with. Resin dryers, master batch (colorant) density to be used with the base resin, proper mixing before barrel loading, rehology testing before processing. The mold building is critical, good temperature controls, shrink factored in, proper gating (ideally valve gates). Not to mention good process controls with quality testing for consistent running IE 30 piece run measured to a capability study on a measurement device (CMM or blue light). Time consuming and expensive to truly nail a process.

[@michaelsimons3529]

Love that you laid out the color differences. I have a slower arm speed and had no intention of getting the time lapse cause it’s just too much for my arm but I may have to get a purple one now.

[@mad85123]

I have a weaker arm too! I’m glad we can skip the testing and go straight to the purple!!

[@marscruz]

Purple for this noodle arm. Shot of the day made me Laugh Out Loud. Thanks dude.

[@DirtBYA]

I have first hand experience with what Simon is talking about. I work in a 3rd party test facility, and one of the test's we perform is a meltflow test. This is done on an extrusion plastometer, and so many things go into it to get consistent specimens. The weight, the heat, how clean the barrel is, how clean the die is, how pristine the barrel and die are, even how the plastic pellets are loaded can cause bubbles in the flow rate. There is always an allowable tolerance, when you have so many things that can go wrong there will always be inconsistencies that are unavoidable.

[@mstoochn]

Simon, although I mostly agree with you on the colors/runs affecting stability. How about some Simon Science? Take 10 of each color you've notice fly different of the time lapse and put them against each other. 10 purple (understable), 10 grey (neutral) 10 pink (overstable), we all know you can throw shots back to back with the same angle/arm speed you've proven this on camera (maybe bring a speed gun). Perhaps MVP can turn it into a give away event for Simon Thrown discs 😉 sign them "Simon Verified {disc stability}".

[@grislyregent5227]

i like the feel of the time lapse though the pink one and the blue one i bought are quite a bit more over stable than my proto time lapse which was about as beefy as my horizon cloud breaker lol. i wish i could get my arm speed up about 10 to 15 mph then i could use it for something more than a heavy wind disc right now haha. hopefully by spring i can get up there. thank you for all the inspiration and drive to strive to be better! I will catch up eventually ;). failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough!

[@thomashinson5684]

Finally someone comes out BEFORE discs are released and just owns the different colours are different. You rock.

[@dragonranger20]

I have mine! I threw it in the snow (up here in Michigan) and it's a BOMB! Can't wait to use it on the course.

[@Nomadmatty]

MVP has been by far the most consistent disc golf company for disc flight in my opinion. I've got five Innova Firebirds on my rack that all fly different 😂

[@noah4987]

Thanks for the insight into production! And I'd recommend you look into the carnivore diet to help your elbow. Lots of people have fixed their tennis elbow with it. Been eating this way for a year and no more aches or pains

[@clintsawyer7702]

Thanks! The science behind flight is what attracted me to disc golf in the first place, so learning more is fascinating.

[@mfuzzy7422]

funny how the colors follow ROY G BIV for stability just like LED voltage drop for different color and wavelength.... Try some Teslas in different colors then think about what the man, N Tesla, said about frequency and vibration. Maybe a little "mindbender", but red is a rooted heavier frequency while blue and violet are a higher and lighter frequency...MINDBENDING. BTW, love my purple mind bender! I always prefer the G BIV portion for discs over the ROY. Hate red discs, they all seem more overstable. Happy T-Bird Day

I throw white discs. Does this mean I have ALL the stabilities? Cuz that would be cool

[@endebtedone]

As someone who used to do hvac and installed systems for touchscreen manufacturing where temperature and humidity are critical. I was talking to a guy who works for Prodigy who told me that disc golf companies don’t invest in climate control systems. This blew my mind because of how critical it is to provide consistency and control in manufacturing. Nothing is perfect but if you truly want the most consistency then you have to invest.

[@seansweeney1805]

MVP did. I remember that from a gyropalooza last year or the year before

[@endebtedone]

@@seansweeney1805 they announced in the Gyropalooza videos that they installed climate controlled spaces for their production areas? I do not remember that. seems highly unlikely. idk.

[@arebergaker174]

The Lego factory in Denmark have molded plastic with insane precision for 75 years. Maybe they have a trick or two. Love the video!

[@cyndideweygary]

a 1 degree difference in movement upon cooling is going to be trivial for a 1 inch block, but massive for an 8-inch disc. Additionally, the blocks can be elastically deformed during assembly and match up to the "perfect" size. A disc flying through the air isn't going have the same forces pushing it back to the "correct" shape.

[@offbeatrobotics]

Well one of their "secrets" is they premix the different colors with a whole separate process to insure consistency across many injection molding machines and runs. This process isn't really feasible for the relatively small batches that discs are made in, especially with the large variety of colors desired. Another factor is disc design, for consistent shape with relatively even shrinkage of plastic a consistent and relatively thin wall thickness is better. Disc golf discs, especially high speed drivers, have huge wall thickness differences between the flight plate and the wing. It's possible to get things more consistent than they are now, but there will never be two discs exactly the same.

[@ericbruch]

when axiom first starting doing alternate molds of MVP discs they specifically noted the use of different colored plastics altered the flight characteristics which is why they say so and so disc is a "beat-in" version of this or that disc. in the end it's all dependent on the arm speed and wrist flick release of the person throwing. my time-lapse came in the mail today and I took it out in the field behind my house to throw it. my my how overstable! it behaves almost like my Tesla or Excite. If I have it a hefty forehand flex I can get a pretty nice predictable flight out of it but don't think it will be a go-to disc for me personally on anything except a get-out-of-jail throw from the thick brush

[@cesarcalva9277]

I love the new flight numbers .... 12, 5, -1, 1 and Purple .....😂😂😂

[@dirt4dinner]

Might be the best intro ever. Also, appreciate the explanation. I knew my bag was full of MVP for a reason. It’s because you explain the molds…and now the plastic and colors. Thank you!

I totally understand why after your explanation of how discs are made. After a few years of playing however, I've realized the unfortunate truth that the flight numbers on a disc is never to be trusted. I get that's what the manufacturer intended for the disc to fly like, and that there are certain aspects on how to throw a disc (like high speed drivers, needs a quick arm etc) but discs fly so different from year to year.

Great breakdown of the different flights. And thanks for some insider knowledge. Wish discs could have a mark on the bottom with supplementary numbers that offset the baseline flight numbers, added next to the weight.

[@discgolfbilly]

I love that German traffic sign you posted on the tee!. You should use it as a graphic design for our discs. Not for sale, just a custom stamp for only you. It could be the inspiration you need to win events, and ace some holes. German no speed limit traffic signs are such a neat design for a golf disc, especially for you Simon. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgivng!☺Bill M., Uncasville, CT, PDGA Ace Club Member #7378. You gotta play my awesome ace run 18 hole residential course, established in 1996.
