    If you had this transaction with ANY other player and they said everything Simon has said , you would say “ he’s paid to say that” …This guy is so honest and humble there’s no denying it’s legitimately his thoughts . …It couldn’t have happened to a better person!!!!

      You can’t get a much better person than Simon. Plus, as an added bonus, he’s one of the best disc golfers on the planet :)
      Different is good. (Isn’t that a slogan some other disc golf company uses?) Eventually, he will be a good person to grow the MVP market in Europe.

    It's fun to sit back and see my 2 favorite players come to MVP. I picked up and Axiom discs many years ago and switched my whole bag over to MVP/AXIOM/STREAMLINE in an instant. The molds feel so good, the discs fly wonderfully. And over the years seeing pro's, especially Conrad sign with MVP was awesome as he is my favorite DG. Then Simon as my second favorite DG sign with MVP, mind blowing, and cannot wait to see the years ahead what these 2 come up with and what they can do!

    • @raidonbay
      @raidonbay Год назад +1

      This is exactly how I feel.
      I became a MVP/Gyro fan back in 2015.
      It was the Inertia, Insanity, Photon, Wave and (eventually) Wrath that first found my bag.
      James Conrad and Simon Lizotte were always my favorite MPO Pros. I didn't mind that they didn't throw what I enjoyed. When Matt Dollar, someone who I had seen many times at our Chattanooga A-tiers, singed to MVP, I thought "If you build it, they will come."
      Brad and Chad Richardson have built an amazing company and family.

    Can't wait to see the Simon Line of discs that I'm sure will come out. Maybe we'll finally get that slightly more stable Octane-ish disc... or maybe, wonder if they'll bring out their "new" gyro tech (Beam?) for your first disc. Exciting times.

  • @JackSquat1
    @JackSquat1 Год назад +16

    Last year, everyone wondered, including Simon, why all of a sudden he was doing so well... what hit me were the unique circumstances that had led him to last season... Tons of trick shots- doing trick shot videos make you focus on much harder targets and accumulate many more repetitions than normal practicing... and you dont stop until you actually make the extremely difficult shot... this honed in his approach game at such a level that he doesn't have to practice much anymore... the injury- his elbow injury forced him to stop being the bomber guy, and he had to stop touring, during this layoff, he said that all he did was practice putting... the longest thrower + the trick shot guy now narrows all of his focus on putting and becomes a much better putter... and as many have noted, having the injury made him start thinking about how to throw to win in tournaments than be the show off guy... and lastly, becoming a dad for the first time, which also lent to his focus of winning rather than showing off.
    NOW... I think this signing with MVP could be another significant addition to his disc golf dna... seeing his knowledge and interest in disc science, and seeing how he is enthusiastic about being at that computer screen, there's no telling what level he will end up playing at.

    It's funny, because when I discovered discgolf my attention was instantly locked on 2 players - James Conrad when I saw him juggling discs in Jomez intro (cuz I'm a pro juggler), and Simon when I saw some trickshot vid. Over the years I grew to love those 2 dudes for their personality, skills, approach to life, demenaour and everything. MVP has some interesting ways to pick their team and I love it! Oh and MVP was the company that sounded most interesting as well, I love space and sciences so the tech and naming scheme were alluring :D It's still harder for me to buy their discs unfortunately, compared to big manufacturers but I already know I HAVE to get Glitch somehow xD Stay wonderful guys

Had an mvp disc MELT on me, yes literally, on a summer day in my trunk. Stayed away for years. Picked up an insanity 2021 halloween glow and it changed my mind. Snagged a glow proxy wave & crave in 2022 and man I have got to say I've been sleeping on them for years. Top notch stuff. Happy to watch Simon throw some sweet new discs.

    one of the few changes among pro players as of late that I'm genuinely happy about, I feel like with discmania it just kind of plateaued a bit or just stuck in the same rhythm. Simon moving to MVP is a crazy shake up but couldn't have happened to a better dude.
