MVP Disc Sports Photon
The MVP Disc Sports Photon is a overstable distance driver (11/5/-1/2.5) - best for advanced players.
Our take on the Photon
If you want a speed 11 driver that holds a line and finishes predictably instead of fighting you, the MVP Photon earns a spot in your bag. With flight numbers of 11 speed, 5 glide, -1 turn, and 2.5 fade, it reads as a stable-to-overstable distance driver: enough glide to carry, just a touch of turn so it isn't a brick off the tee, and a dependable 2.5 fade that brings it home. MVP labels it overstable (stability 1.5), and that's the right framing - this is a workhorse, not a distance bomb.
Throw it flat and you'll get a gentle, controlled flight that resists turning over even on a hard rip, then a consistent fade at the end. That makes it a great power-forehand option and a wind-fighter. Think of it as MVP's answer to an Innova Teebird taken up a speed class - control over raw distance. At 2.2 cm rim width and a beadless rim, it's a true 11-speed that needs real arm speed, which is why it suits Advanced throwers.
Available across MVP's premium plastics from Neutron to Plasma, and priced from $18.95 to $24.95, it's a sensible buy if you value repeatable lines.
