Our take on the Wave

Stable speed-11 distance for intermediates 4.0/5

The MVP Wave is a speed 11 distance driver that gives you reachable distance without demanding pro-level power. With flight numbers of 11 speed, 5 glide, -2 turn, and 2 fade, it leans toward the controllable end of the high-speed class. Expect a smooth turn off the tee on a flat throw, plenty of glide to carry the disc downrange, and a dependable but not aggressive fade to finish. That -2 turn means it will hold a long anhyzer or flex line nicely, while the 2 fade keeps it from flipping into a rolaway if you have decent snap.

The Wave is best for intermediate players ready to step into speed 11. It is essentially MVP's answer to the Innova Tern - a similar shape with a touch more dependability. At 2.2 cm rim width it is a true distance driver, so beginners may struggle to get it up to speed.

The 21.1 cm diameter and beadless rim feel comfortable in hand. With a wide plastic lineup from Neutron to Plasma and a $17.95 to $29.95 price range, it is easy to find the right durability and stability for your bag.
