MVP Plasma Photon 11 | 5 | -1 | 2.5 If you want the overstable, wind-fighting dependability of the Photon but need a bit more grip for cold mornings or sweaty hands, the MVP Plasma Photon is exactly what you are looking for. Taking its place in the MVP Photon Collection, this 11-speed workhorse is a standout in our disc golf distance drivers collection. It gives you the exact same torque resistance and hard fade you expect from the mold, but wraps it in a slightly gummy, metallic-sheen plastic that feels incredible off the fingers for both backhand rips and power sidearms. Flight Numbers Featuring a speed of 11 and a glide of 5, the Photon covers ground quickly while pushing forward. The -1 turn means it will pop up flat or drift slightly right if you have a big arm, but that aggressive 2.5 fade ensures it is always going to fight back and crash hard at the end of its flight. Speed Glide Turn Fade 11 5 -1 2.5 The Plasma Photon delivers: Confident Grip: The slightly gummier flight plate provides more grip, preventing early slip-outs in damp or humid weather. Torque Resistance: Handles aggressive sidearm snaps and full-power backhands without burning over into the ground. Reliable Finish: Consistently hooks up at low speeds, making it a dependable option for distance control and placement shots. It excels at: Ripping long flex lines that need enough stability to fight back to center Fighting through moderate headwinds without losing its flight path Consistent, sweeping hyzer shots over tall fairway obstacles Plasma Plastic MVP’s Plasma plastic is a premium polymer known for its stunning metallic shimmer and slightly flexible flight plate. Compared to stiffer blends like Proton or Eclipse, Plasma offers a noticeably tackier feel that gives you total control on your release. Because it has a bit more dome to it, many players find that Plasma plastic yields just a hair more glide, keeping the disc in the air just a fraction longer before that signature overstable fade kicks in. How the Photon Fits in the MVP Lineup Vs the MVP Cosmic Neutron Photon: Cosmic Neutron gives you striking multi-color swirls with a stiffer, traditional premium feel. The Plasma version swaps the swirls for a metallic sheen and offers a noticeably gummier, more flexible grip. Vs the MVP Proton Photon: Proton is MVP's most rigid and durable clear plastic, typically molding up slightly more overstable out of the box. If you want maximum beef, go Proton. If you want better grip and a touch more glide, grab Plasma. Vs the Innova Destroyer: The Photon is MVP's answer to the classic 11/12-speed overstable driver slot. The Plasma plastic gives you a tackier grip than standard Star plastic, and the GYRO rim helps the disc retain spin for a penetrating, heavy fade. MVP Photon Release Information Flight Numbers: Speed 11 | Glide 5 | Turn -1 | Fade 2.5 Disc Type: Overstable Distance Driver Plastic Blends: Premium Metallic Plasma Frequently Asked Questions About the MVP Photon Does the Plasma plastic change the flight of the Photon? Because it is slightly more flexible, players often notice that Plasma Photons have a touch more glide and feel slightly less beefy out of the box compared to the ultra-stiff Proton or Eclipse runs. It is highly workable while still retaining its wind-fighting stability. Is the Plasma Photon good for forehands? Absolutely. The flat profile combined with the tacky Plasma grip gives you a very clean, drag-free release on sidearm throws. The disc's natural overstability easily fights the off-axis torque generated by a power forehand snap. How does the Plasma grip feel in the rain or cold? Plasma is arguably MVP's best premium plastic for tricky weather. The gummier texture remains pliable when the temperature drops, and it provides much better traction for sweaty or damp hands than the slicker Proton blend. Looking for a different variation?
