MVP Disc Sports Deflector
The MVP Disc Sports Deflector is a very overstable midrange (5/3.5/0/4) - best for advanced players.
Our take on the Deflector
If you need a midrange that fights wind and never turns over, the MVP Deflector earns its name. The numbers tell the story: speed 5, glide 3.5, turn 0, fade 4. That zero turn paired with a heavy 4 fade makes this a very overstable disc that holds its line on the way out and finishes hard left for a right-handed backhand thrower. There is no high-speed flip here, even when you crank it.
Think of it as MVP's answer to the Discraft Zone or Innova Firebird in midrange form. You throw the Deflector when you want a reliable fade you can trust under pressure - approach shots into a headwind, forehands that need to hold against the turn, and short utility lines that demand a hard finish. The beadless rim and 21.5 cm diameter keep it comfortable in the hand for both grips.
This is an intermediate-to-advanced tool, not a beginner disc. New players will see it dump out of the air with little distance. But for the right arm, at around 20 dollars, it is a cheap, dependable overstable workhorse.
