*********- An easy description is a Speed 8 Valkyrie/Teebird hybrid -***************
**Short Version: Feels great, Flies beautifuly - Like a nicely worn-in Champ Teebird. $ flight, slight turn , reliable fade**
((UPDATE: Picked up a Plasma Volt 174g - Way MORE understable, like, by a LOT, keep that in mind -- 7/5/-3/1.25 )))--8/13/18 I picked up another Plasma volt and it was WAY more OS than the other - actually more OS than my neutron and about the same as my eclipse ---also got another eclipse and it was FLIP CITY - SO early runs were flippy- later runs mixed - and current run is about in the middle - gotta compare PLH and flatness - sadly its hard when ordering online.
(Another UPDATE: I do feel this disc is more speed 8 and almost overlaps with a Valkyrie - It has more glide than most teebirds - more speed - a bit more High speed turn )

*long version*
I held off on getting a Volt for a long time. Not on purpose, but the fact I use Teebirds, Teebird3's, F5's, Patriots and I own an FD, TL, etc - I did not think I needed another stable fairway driver.
I was at my local course that has a shack with discs for sale. I found a White NEUTRON Volt at 173g. It was exactly what I would get anyway, so I figured, WHY NOT?
SO GLAD I did. To me this is not a Teebird replacement its a complement. The Volt that I have does have some initial turn, just a mild bit, but hooks up nicely late. Which makes it excellent for shaping a straight line. Flat release will fly as 7/5/-1/2 with a mild turn , straight mid-flight and a hook-up in the end. The disc feels like any other speed 7 disc but seems to glide and soar as far as my faster drivers. It handles touch nicely as well.
**Favorite shot was parking Hole #5 (long pin) at Kaposia South St Paul, MN . I released with a very slight anhyzer, it held a straight but smooth turn then flattened out straight and finished with enough hyzer to straighten out and skip forward. I've never gotten that close on that hole before.- The very next hole Was a similar shot - slight uphill narrow fairway, long pin, did the same exact thing and was in a great position***
Overall its a very comfortable feeling disc. Its a good all-around fairway driver and also can get good distance if you want it to. It does have a lil' turn to it and may not be best to power throw into windy situations. Right now I am paring The Volt with a Teebird3 as a more HSS fairway complement. (Patriot for US and Firebird for OS)
If you like the Discmania FD but wanted something that has more hook-up at the end, this is a good choice. Both good discs.
The VOLT is a solid.
Also, FYI ECLIPSE is most OVERSTABLE and is awesome - then Proton, Neutron, Plasma/Fission, Electron ---> UPDATE 8/13/18 - I was at a store and compared PLH and I got a new Plasma Volt that is more OS than any of my neutrons - it is a mold that varies so keep that in mind - with that said I like the higher PLH volts as they resist turn better and can handle a lot of power - I am now carrying 2 volts, 1 fairly OS 1 mild turn and they work beautifully together
