27. Will you offer misprint packs for different plastics, speeds, colors?



Our misprint packs will consist of an assortment of colors, weights, plastics, models, and brands. Currently, the stock of misprint lots is mostly MVP, but they will probably consist of both MVP and Axiom by this spring.



28. With the introduction of the Axiom line will we see a drop off in development of the traditional MVP line as the new Axiom line is being brought up to speed?



Not at all. We have more than doubled our molding capacity. We anticipate both brands each growing faster this year than MVP's growth rate last year.



29. Do you have any plans of doing an ace race/birdie bash type of event at all?



We have some ideas for future specialty events like this. However, specialty events like this are something we plan to pursue later rather than sooner. We still have many products that we have to develop, and want to allocate as much of our time and resources as possible to developing new products.



30. How did you decide on the disc naming scheme for Axiom?



We brainstormed a handful of names that we liked very much, but they didnt seem to fit the MVP theme very well. These other names fit together very well for the new Axiom style-based theme.



31. Is there a chance that you will put flight numbers on your discs or list their stabilities for customers to reference when buying discs in the store?



We avoid numbers in our flight ratings because they are unable to account for many factors of disc flight. Hence we developed flight charts that visually show more accurate information about disc flight with varying power levels. We give flight charts to all retailers and have them available on our website. Ask your retailer to see the MVP flight charts if they do not have them posted in their shop.



32. Will we see soft P/N Envy on release date?



Answered in 46.



33. Will we see MVP "Basic plastic" (cheaper and could be worn in)?



Answered in 4.



34. What are the densities (specific gravity) of MVP/Axiom core plastics and overmold plastics?



Divulging the exact specific gravities of our materials would be too revealing to our competition. However, the materials used in our overmolds are as heavy as 3.0-5.0 specific gravity. This makes the overmold material 3-5 times as heavy as conventional golf disc materials.



35. How many players will you sponsor for the 2014 tour? Will there be a "MVP Team" like the other companies like Prodigy?

36. Why did Neutron plastic take over as the launch material from Proton? Marketing or is there something about Neutron that is easier in the manufacturing process?



Every model in the Neutron series has been more popular than their Proton brethren. For this reason, Neutron is the default series in which we will launch new models. Whichever MVP models become popular we also will release in Proton and Eclipse.



37. One of the most popular complaints about your discs is that they are hard to grip when weather conditions are not ideal. Are there plans in the future to address this issue?



The grip characteristic of plastics is an optimization situation. There is a balancing act of grip versus durability and grip versus consistency. It has been in review to adjust the balance one way or the other to improve grip, however we have to be careful with the adjustment in the name of durability or long term consistency.



Similarly mold texturing is another optimization situation. We found that the rough texturing on the bottom early run Ions reduced the overall grip-potential, but it helped make the plastic less susceptible to weather conditions. Our current high-polished surface has high grip-potential in prime conditions, but it is more susceptible to weather conditions. The optimization of grip-potential versus susceptibility to weather conditions has been in review for improvement.



38. Have you ever considered bringing back the textured bottoms?



Answered in 37.



39. I know you have a basic molding process vid on youtube, but have you ever considered a behind the scenes documentary on the development of a new disc from conceptual designs, testing, to finished product with comments from the staff and team members?



We see informational/promotional videos as a viable option in the future. We have many projects scoped out this year for our media department, but I see videos as a possibility in the following years.



Also, we have considered the idea of making a documentary about how our company got started and how our company has evolved. However, our company is still growing and expanding, so it would make sense to do something like this later into our history.



40. Will there be glow rims for Axiom?



Adding coloring agents to a glow rim reduces the glow's luminosity, so we don't plan to produce glow products in Axiom. With optimal glow conditions requiring a uniform rim color, we plan to keep the Eclipse glow products solely in the MVP lineup. We also want to make sure that Axiom Discs are affordable to a larger audience, while maintaining our high standards for quality and consistency.



41. What about Merchandise? Hats? Dri-fits? Any plans for those?



We will have some more accessory products this year, but we expect those types of products to be more prolific in the following years.



42. Who is Axiom? Is it the original MVP founders, Chad and Brad? Or is it more than that?



Since Axiom Discs is produced and distributed by MVP Disc Sports, Chad and Brad play a primary role in Axiom Discs. We have since added some people to our team to assist with branding and marketing efforts.



43. Will swirled overmolds going be a staple in the Axiom Discs line? ...or, is this just a rare production variant as colors are run off the line?



Color swirls, both core and overmold, are very rare and difficult to produce with repeatability and consistency. However, we try to swirl and experiment as much as possible.



44. With the release of Envy and Alias, when can we expect the rest of the line up to be filled out?



There will be a handful of additional models in Axiom this year, including drivers.



45. How do you comment on Axis vs Alias?



The Alias was designed with many aspects of the Tangent in mind, most notably the smooth modern feel. Our goal was the make it slightly more stable so that it will hold lines like a brand new Tangent for a longer period of its life. The Tangent seems to break in closer to more Neutral and Understable after much use. With the added stability, the Alias has a similar stability as the Axis, but it is slower and a more controlled speed as the Axis.
