I'm Chad Richardson with MVP Disc Sports. I'm Chief Engineer, and I handle all of our product design. Everything from discs, to baskets, bags, and everything beyond that. I also oversee all manufacturing operations from injection molding, to hot-stamping, and everything in between. We've been getting asked a lot about the overstable midrange, and I am excited to talk about it today because there are several things that I am really excited to announce. With the overstable midrange it's a very critical disc. When thrown you can always depend on it doing one thing, and thats being overstable. From there you can do a lot of shot shaping, flex lines, and overstable skip shots. It's a great work-horse and utility disc. With that overstability, it's bringing that reliability. Which establishes confidence in your game that's really the foundation of our products at MVP Disc Sports. With this overstable midrange that is the Deflector, the design of it is very flat top, very high parting line, a little bit faster than our current midranges on the line-up. That faster speed is going to give us a little bit more low-speed stability. On top of massively overstable flat top profile. It's a comfortable grip, and the key is that it's a moderate depth, very flat, and very just form fitting in your hand. Like you can really grip on this and rely on it. The overstability of the Deflector is along the lines of a utility midrange. It's so overstable to, not matter what angle you put on it, it's always immediately going to fight out of it leaving the hand. So you are going to be getting a lot very abrupt, sharp, fades. And from here, this sets the foundation to create a couple of complimentary overstable midranges. We'll be seeing those in the Axiom lineup, as well as the Streamline lineup. Quite honestly, we've had the Deflector for quite some time now. In the middle of building the mold for the Deflector we actually got our patent granted. So it forced us to update the tooling with our new virtual patent marking. The good news is, the Deflector is going to be our first mold that bears our new patent marking. We've had an overwhelming response with Flight Numbers in Streamline. So we are now excited to announce that we are also going to be introducing flight numbers in MVP...
