JVX Hybrid openings

[RickyGood 0]

I've heard a few different things about jvx hybrid openings. I want to hear what people think of the openings on the jvx hybrid from people who have actually jumped them.
Cheers :)

With original slider my JVX 87 loaded at 2.65 opens very well, much softer then my VX-97 with RDS or VX-111 with domed slider.

I found that keeping the nose straight (no pushing it in on the sides of the slider or anything at all, just perfectly straight with the well quartered slider) results in the best on heading openings.

Today i had to dump 2 seconds after transitioning to my belly from a sit, so from deployment speed a little higher then desired it still opened very nicely.

mine opens fine. not any different than the ZP model I had before it.

Do you use an RDS mark?

and how different to the ZP model is it in performance?

i can't sleep at the moment! i just want it to arrive!

I am using an rds, but I am leaving the bag on top still. just the removable slider.

as compared to the zp model, I notice more shutdown power. I also notice a little more power in the rears. I have had problems with my neck, so I only have about 25 jumps on it so far. I was going to compete with it this past weekend at the PD challenge, but the combo of having a hurt neck and being out of a job at the moment kept me from going.

what I expect, is that the performance will stay with the canopy over a longer period of time, but will have to let time pass to see if that is true.

Poly Sana(i'm sorry in Swahili) about your neck.

Which type of RDS are you using? and why dont you want the bag and P/C to come off?
do you notice much difference between the stock slider and the rds?

Joe made it for me.

I dont take the bag off unless I am in a comp. it is too much a pain in the ass to deal with.

opens really nice. not slow and not hard is the best way i can describe it.

doesnot snivel for as long as the velo but is still soft. tends to be much less seaking than any crossbraced i have jumped.

i also jump a full RDS on everyjump and i got my RDS from Joe and mel
