MY FIRST ROUND WITH MVP DISCS!! (Maple Hill Golds)

It's about time! Familiar course, completely new bag. I can't believe this is actually my very first round of this new chapter. I've been waiting for this moment a couple of months now and I thought I found a clearing in the miserable weather... 😂 I really feel like this is going to be an amazing year!

I REALLY like that this isn’t some promo. He’s honest and shows his crummy learning shots. He’s human. And he’s not afraid to be down to earth about learning new things

[@mikeberry9766]

I’d like to think that was part of his negotiations with MVP too. He probably told them he will be honest with his feedback and won’t compromise his vlog channel just because of his lineup change.

[@clintsawyer7702]

@@mikeberry9766 Yes he said that in an interview, that was one of the terms he set is that he is still in full control of his vlog and content, and that he will continue playing with people who may be sponsored by other brands, and they were fine with that.

Really is the genius of mvp. Too many companies would screw this up.

[@ellismachine]

I like seeing him try all these new discs AND struggle on some shots as he's learning. It's important to see this phase of him throwing new equipment and it puts into perspective just how good simon is when he's on top of it. I'm super excited to see the future of simon no matter the outcome. Great video and I'd love to see more of these as you get used to the bag.

[@Naesil89]

Also the ability to park the hole with next shot shows how good pros are even when they are not certain how the discs fly :D

[@drumphil21]

I just finished re-watching the final round of the 2022 MVP Open at Maple Hill where you took 1st place. How cool is it that this video pops up next?!!! You're playing your first round with MVP discs at Maple Hill. Coincidence? I think not. You are so fun to watch! Learning new discs is difficult, but you are doing great! Keep up the good work! I believe in you!! (I can't wait to see what you do with the Hex!)

It's so refreshing to see him honestly learning a new bag.

Seeing you throw MVP now, which is what I mostly bag, I can really tell through the camera just how freakin hard you throw a disc, keep going Simon!

I was thinking the same thing. Craves are dead straight for us mortals lol

[@MrBsvc]

Same, my craves don't turn anywhere near what his do, it's crazy

[@perlDreamer]

Love that positive self-talk! And you're right about the all black rims. I usually carry 1-2 fewer discs than my bag will hold so that they'll lean over a bit so you can see the core plastic.

[@allenhammitt5092]

Cosmic Neutron Crave. That plastic is way more overstable than the others. So pumped watching you throw MVP. Good luck with your upcoming season!!! You da man!

[@randyward2766]

It’s FUN to see Simon “The Mad Scientist” Lizotte learning new discs. AND congrats to Eric Oakley’s doppelgänger w “The Shot of the Day!” 🤣

[@zacharywebb7197]

Is that good?

[@Chris.Davies]

I am so excited to see what Simon can do with an Envy. I've leaned on it (hard) since the first run. And now I bag two. :) I have always disagreed strongly with Brad and Chad about having a different brand for the rim-colours-other-than-black. But I only sell the discs, not make them. And let me be clear: I love Gyro! MVP are the only disc golf company to start life as expert and experienced over-moulders who learned about disc golf rather than disc golfers who had to learn to injection mould. This means their discs are the highest quality in the industry, bar none. In fact they're so good they can mould a disc twice and still sell it profitably for the same price as the one-moulders!

[@kurtisfoley2314]

Yes!!!! We need more rim colors for MVP!

[@EatonAsh]

I just started a new job at the beginning of the year and its super humbling seeing someone like Simon going through a similar experience at the exact same time. Its a lot of mixed emotion with a huge life change that you know will be good in the long run but a struggle at the start. Good luck on your endeavors sir, We'll master it one day!

From disc sales perspective it would be a bad thing if two biggest stars uses the same disc. I have a feeling MVP would not like him to use Nomad as well. Or maybe he gets his own putter.

[@chuckwalla123]

@@kimmomatikainen1843 the pilot is slightly more understable and a little has a little more glide (in my opinion). I can throw a 60 foot putt and the pilot barely fades at all. The nomad I have to either hang it out wide or put a little anhyzer (which I’m terrible at) on it to go straight.

[@discgolfbilly]

Great to see you playing your new MVP discs, at where else, your favorite Maple Hill course. You will master those MVP discs, and how about that Glitch disc?. I often tell folks that a great warm up before one plays a round is to have a play catch with someone. The Glitch was made for that and is great for disc golf glide upshots when playing disc golf. I am ordering many Glitches along with the Spin and Anode putters. Your many years of practice and dedication to the sport is deservedly paying off for you Simon. Get ready to have your best year ever, YES, even better than last year because a couple of major tournament victories will happen for you. When I do get you to come to play my residential course in Uncasville, CT(very near the Mohegan Sun Casino), you will be shooting at the same MVP orange Portal basket that are used at Maple Hill. We love these videos you make, and the thousands of views on the same day you post it, is 100% proof. Have fun with your new MVP discs Simon, for that is the key to bringing out the best in your game. Most Sincerely, Bill M. in Uncasville, CT(lifelong disc golf promoter).

This is pure gold! Invited to the process of 0.1% player learning a new bag, honest thoughts and discgolf as regular players now it. I'm looking forward to this season and the MVP journey! I think you will help them to be the best that they can ever be. Best of luck Simon!

[@blykins80]

Love the honesty and sometimes awkwardness of trying new discs. Can't wait to see you on tour! Also, if you're taking disc suggestions, try out the Axiom Instanity. It's a slightly understable to stable disc, flies really straight and is a 9 speed.

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Both Paul and JC won the Worlds the next year they changed a bag and there has been many other fast transitions before Simon. He will progress a lot in couple of months and before tour begins. Just needs to get his signature distance driver soon. I have not heard that he will get one, but I am sure he will. Tournament practise rounds are another thing. He knows the courses but for years he has known what discs to throw and when, but now he needs to learn the courses again. I think that will be a bigger challenge than getting to know the discs.

I keep my bag organized in the same way every time regardless of what goes in and out, so you can tell if your are missing a disc fairly quickly. My organization is by speed from left to right and then alphabetically by mold, plastic, and finally color as tiebreakers. It should help you to not forget discs and be able to find the one you are looking for easier.

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

for sure! Mine are by speed and stable (less to most within speed class). I also try to count my main compartment before each round. Doesnt matter tho. After a few holes of being rushed, the order gets screwed and I end up losing one anyhow.
