MVP Disc Sports Atom
The MVP Disc Sports Atom is a overstable putt & approach (3/3/0/1) - good for intermediate players.
Our take on the Atom
The MVP Atom is a stable, beadless putt and approach disc that flies straight and predictable, which makes it one of the easier putters to trust the moment it leaves your hand. With flight numbers of 3 speed, 3 glide, 0 turn, and 1 fade, it holds the line you give it and finishes with just a gentle fade at the end - enough to drop into a basket without the hard hook of an overstable putter. If you have thrown a Discraft Buzzz and wished it came in putter form, the Atom is close to that feeling: neutral, controllable, and forgiving.
The beadless rim and 21.1 cm diameter give it a clean, comfortable release for putting, and that 3 glide helps it float gently on approach shots without ballooning. MVP labels it stable and recommends it for everyone, and the numbers back that up - there is nothing punishing here for a newer player, and enough versatility for a veteran to use it on the green and from the fairway.
At 11.95 to 20.95 dollars across the Electron and Eclipse 2.0 plastics, it is an easy, affordable disc to add to any bag.
