What MVP say:  The next disc in the Simon Line is primed for its stock release – the Neutron Balance! For those following the development process of this disc, you’ll know there have been three Prototypes released for the Balance, each with minor differences in stability. This allowed Simon to try multiple options and pick the version he prefers most (v2) to go into full production while giving you all a peek behind the curtain of the process. Settling in with flight numbers of 5 | 5 | 0 | 2, the Balance falls between the MVP Reactor and Axiom Pyro – overstable enough for torque resistance, wind-fighting, and a reliable, consistent flight – while still having the flexibility of a midrange for shot shaping. High-power players will have a versatile, straight flier with a dependable bite of fade towards the end, while those with less power will find the perfect overstable wind-fighting complement to their midrange lineup. The Balance joins the Pixel and Time-Lapse as part of the Simon Line – curated by Simon Lizotte himself.

What players are actually saying: Players find a midrange they can throw firmly without much fear of it turning over. Its shallow feel earns particular praise from forehand throwers. The disagreement is how long it stays straight before fading: some describe a useful step between the Reactor and Pyro, while others find it nearly as overstable as a Pyro, with noticeably less distance. That makes it promising for headwinds, controlled hyzers and forehand flex shots, but a poor choice if you want an easy, straight midrange.
