MVP Distance Driver 11|5|-1|2.5

The MVP Photon is a popular, stable-overstable high-speed distance driver, often described as a longer Tesla. It's known for its flight-extending turn for power throwers and a reliable fade for all throwers.

• Flight Numbers: It generally has flight numbers of Speed 11, Glide 5, Turn -1, and Fade 2.5. Note that the turn and fade values can sometimes vary depending on the plastic type, with Proton plastic generally being slightly more overstable than Neutron or Plasma plastics. Fission plastic can feel like throwing a disc 20g heavier, but with enhanced glide at a lighter actual weight.
• Stability and Flight Path: It's considered a stable-overstable disc, meaning it will generally fly straight for a period and then reliably fade to the left (for right-hand backhand throws). It's naturally headwind resistant, and even average power throwers can use a headwind to emulate the extended flights of high-power throwers. Some players find it similar to a Destroyer or a less stable Boss once broken in.
• Target Audience: The Photon is marketed as a distance driver for the masses, suitable for both advanced and intermediate players. It's also a popular choice for forehand throws due to its stability and resistance to turnovers.
• Plastic Options: The Photon is available in various MVP plastic blends, including Neutron, Proton, Plasma, and Fission. Each plastic offers a slightly different feel and flight characteristic. For example, Proton is known for its durability and stiffness, often resulting in a more overstable flight, while Neutron is a grippier premium plastic. Fission plastic utilizes microbubble technology to redistribute weight towards the rim, enhancing the GYRO® effect and potentially leading to longer flights at lighter weights.

In essence, the MVP Photon is a versatile and reliable distance driver that caters to a range of skill levels and throwing styles, particularly those who prefer a stable-overstable flight path with a dependable fade.
