Thanks Simon for donating some signed time-lapses to the Lewiston Strong fundraiser tournament up here in Maine!
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.
I mean he kinda had to after Drews video. not say he wouldnt have made it without it, but now he has to.
Who takes Drew's videos as advice? That's like Eagle making a video on forehand discs. Nobody throws like that but you
@@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.
Crap. I preordered a neon yellow one from my local store. Need to switch over to a purple for my noodle arm 😅
Love how Simon shows and explains the process of designing the disc
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!
This kind of heads up and owning the reality of the production process is classy and why we all love you Simon!
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!!!
Not gonna lie, when he stepped up for that last shot at the end I was expecting the Ace lol. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
I LOL'd
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
0:33 - Here in New Zealand, we have a road sign just like this. It means "accelerate to the open road speed limit". :)
Purple for this noodle arm. Shot of the day made me Laugh Out Loud. Thanks dude.
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.
Laughed so hard at the end!!! Nice to see Simon is human from time to time.
Thank you for actually testing them and telling us the stabilities. I can’t tell you how refreshing this is. Why don’t manufacturers do this?!?!
You killed that intro bro! Your dedication to the disc has convinced me. I'm getting one for sure!
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.
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 😂
Finally someone comes out BEFORE discs are released and just owns the different colours are different. You rock.
Blessings to you and yours on this day of thanks - I'm thankful for you, Simon!
I'm a new man after watching this inspirational video. Might run for president.
Thanks! The science behind flight is what attracted me to disc golf in the first place, so learning more is fascinating.
Yes! I’ve been checking your channel every day for more!!!!
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.
Very thankful for this video Simon. This is super helpful for me as Amateur player because I can't get discs that often so the ones I get I want to work well for me. I ordered a Special Edition Timelapse and you just let me know that it will be how I like it. I'm very excited now to throw it.
You're the best Simon!
i love how into this process you are! i hope you realize this is an epic start to being a legand. keep it up, simon.
Love the candid disc development, no one has ever posted a vid like this, another simon first! And for the first time in my life im excited for December, vlogmas baby!!!!
Loved the intro! Super excited to try mine. You and MVP are killing it!
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.
I have a weaker arm too! I’m glad we can skip the testing and go straight to the purple!!
Yeah good luck finding one now. They are gonna sell faster than 2019 sexy birds
@@julliakosic7091 we will see if the PURPLE one is available in the next month
These are so cool! Can’t wait to see this line evolve 🤘
That intro was incredible🤣🤣 cant wait to check out all your discs!! Thanks for all you do for the disc golf community!!
Simon is sooo epic for this thank you!!!
Great to know the different colours fly different😳 I got 2 coming in the post, so hyped👌🏻
These Time-Lapse look awesome🔥
I got some practice in this afternoon and I'm starting to improve my game quite a bit after 20+ years of not playing. Great being back! Good luck with the new disc launch Simon!
Happy Thanksgiving Simon, you help inspire me to become better at the sport, so I'm thankful for you. Come play more courses in CT!!!
Thanks for the info on color vs stability! Went out and got me a sweet purple one!
As a small time retailer, not biased, MVPs stuff comes in all the time with very little variations and customers report the most consistent flights with their discs.
Yes❤ Thank you! I laughed so hard!
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}".
I had to pause it to say, that intro monologue was super fun. :)
I just ordered a Special Edition yellow Time-Lapse and cannot wait to have it in my hands, and then hopefully on the fairway. Being a nerd-about-all-things I really appreciate the insight into the development and production it takes to bring a disc to market. Keep up the good work!
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!
That intro was insane. Great job. Appreciate the explanation. I'll be watching this again when I get mine🤣😂
I love the new flight numbers .... 12, 5, -1, 1 and Purple .....😂😂😂
Bought my Simon Line Time Lapse today! Went with the grey thanks to your advice. Can’t wait to throw it! Glad to be able to support you 😊
The Lego factory in Denmark have molded plastic with insane precision for 75 years. Maybe they have a trick or two. Love the video!
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.
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.
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.
As an engineer working in manufacturing, yes to everything you said! Thanks for the breakdown Simon, waiting for mine to come in the mail 😫
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!
I appreciate you telling us the different flights of the Time Lapse. I always see people talking about the different flights of Heimburg Destroyers by color/year and it's nice to skip the debate when deciding which one to get.
Toller Anfang und wirklich ein gutes und Informatives Video. Finde es super wie du die einzelnen Scheiben beschreibst und das du auf die Wirkung der Farben eingehst und uns sagst welche wie fliegt. Gruß
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Simon
Timelapse flys amazing !!
love the shot of the day at the end 😂
This may be the best disc promo i've ever seen
Hell yeah. Thanks for this, it'll be a huge help.
Love the honesty. Will still try it.
Loved the shot of the day
Ordered mine. Can’t wait to give them a test
Happy Thanksgiving Simon. Love the videos
Happy Thanksgiving Simon !!
Glad you brought up colors & flight differences. Preorder is blue. And just ordered a purple stampless.
MVP is lucky to have Simon. He's a stand up guy.
Okay I'm just gonna say before I watch the full video that intro I laughed so hard when you said no 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pretty insane then that MVP are to my knowledge one of the most consistent manufacturers, if it's essentially "twice as hard" for them to be consistent. Also, insanely good intro! Loved that ending! 😆
Good luck Simon 🎉 you legend !!
Solid of Simon to address this issue with our sport. I have spent so much time trying to explain this issue to amateur players…. This should help!
I think it a bonus to be able to have two or three stabilities of the same mold.
Danke wieder für das gute Video, mach so weiter und ich freue mich schon auf die ChristmasVlogs, Grüße aus Hessen
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm excited to get my Time Lapse in the mail!
Lol @ the intro .... good stuff
Best intro ever!!!!
I clicked out of the video too early and was missing one final take over the water and I thought, Oh, maybe he DID ace! So I came back and it was even better. You're such a humble awesome person.
Ya i love the wave for long turning shots and I got your dglo wave and was blown away at the stability. it flys more like a defy and i love it
Happy thanksgiving Simon.
Glad you made this video! I got a red one on the way but I’m gonna grab a purple one now that I know that they are more under stable
So awesome thank you for that
Ein sehr geiles Intro. Das ist richtig gute und nicht unbedingt einfache Arbeit. Das Betonen beim Voice over muss on point sein, damit es richtig rüber kommt und ein Gefühl beim Zuschauer auslöst. Well done, Sir. 👌
Best shot of the day at the end there
That intro was awesome happy holidays to u and the family best of luck for next season 🥳🎉🎉🦃
What’s funny is the purple tends it be my favorite for the shiny foil stamps.
Can't wait to get mine!
That intro was 🔥🔥🔥
I process injection mold machines myself. Like you said it all depends lot to lot of the materials they are never the same it also depends on the machine the size of barrel and the temps of the barrels there is a lot of difference that needs to be factored out
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.
MVP did. I remember that from a gyropalooza last year or the year before
@@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.
I had a purple Vanish that held the lone perfectly for me. I bought another-same plastic and weight, but red this time-and it was annoyingly overstable (yes, a Vanish!). This video makes sense of that.
Just picked up my Time-Lapse from Powergrip. Super excited to see where the Simon Line goes!
What's happenin bro!!! Happy Thanksgiving. I literally just ordered a Special Edition and watching you throw the Matrix totally sold me on it so, I ordered one of those too! haha Can't wait to get some air under both of them!! This helped a ton since, I wouldn't have thought there was such a difference between them all. Cheers
7:41 this seemed really genuine, you seem genuinely fascinated by the process lol
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. My fun, scenic, and challenging course are mostly par 2s where setting a course record will not be 10 down.....or maybe you can prove me wrong. I wanna see the one and only Simon Lizotte set the course record. It will be an experience you will never forget and get you coming back for more!
Thanks for the heads up on what colors I'm going to get
That was the best opening ever!
I can't wait to buy one tomorrow.
Pretty informative stuff, thanks! Snagged a time lapse for Black Friday, gonna go crack some trees and some chains at my local course with it soon! 😅
Nice to see Simon is getting that dad beard going.
So now You are a poet too! Happy Thanksgiving!
I just picked up a blue timelapse, its a great dd. It's a great workable driver.
Awesome sir!
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
@@emilykaczor6757 that would be cool, but you may be talking about absorbed colors vs reflected. Reflected being the frequency it puts out. black"ish" would be all plastic mixed 😉
@@mfuzzy7422 it’s a joke. Because all light together is white light. When you split it with a prism you get the rainbow of colors.
@@emilykaczor6757 I understood haha but if you're still a little fuzzy, a prism plastic photon wouldn't split light 🌈 ....or would it? maybe they should make one. Happy Gyro hunting
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am super excited to get ahold of a couple of these. Been watching them and really really want a few. They would be super helpful I suspect for the tourney I am playing this weekend but def can't find them soon enough. Happy Thanksgiving.
