  • Speedi 5

    The first number is the speed of the disc. It can range from 1-14. Putters are rated 1-3 and are designed to function at low speeds any player can use. Mid range discs are 4-5 and require more speed when thrown to achieve their desired results. A fairway driver will be speed 6-8, these discs fly mostly straight. Discs that are speed 9 and above are classified as distance drivers. Throwing a distance driver takes a significant amount of power to get up to speed, players are rewarded with additional distance if they learn to control these discs. New players are cautioned that speed does not equal distance. Due to the difficulty of controlling higher speed discs, a beginner could find that a light weight disc with a speed of 6 or 7 could fly farther for them than a max distance driver with a speed of 13. In fact most new players should learn by throwing putters only so they can develop the proper form. After a few weeks they'll begin to get reliable results and are ready ×

  • glidei 3.5

    This second rating is numbered 1 – 6. Glide describes a disc’s ability to remain in flight. Discs with higher glide ratings will fly further than discs rated lower in this category. A high glide rating is good when the goal is distance, but can have the wrong effect for putts and approach shots. Sometimes overshooting the basket can be worse than not making it far enough. Low glide ratings such as 1 or 2 are popular with upshot putters because they don't fly for distance but for a little extra control. Glide is different for different kinds of discs as well. A putter with a glide of 4 will stay airborne much longer than distance drivers with a glide of 4 ×

  • Turni 0

    Third in Innova’s flight rating system is turn. Turn is rated from 1 to -5?, with -5 being the most understable. The lower the numer, the more striking turn will result. A newer, slower-throwing disc golfer using an understable disc with a ‘high’ negative turn rating will enjoy great distance, as the disc isn’t going to fade as quickly. Also, players whose farthest throw is 200 feet or less probably won’t notice any turn in the flightpath. Once a player gets more speed and power, they will see their understable discs start turning to the right at the beginning of the flight before fading to the left at the end. Discs rated -4 or -5 are popularly used for rollover or roller throws by experienced players. Some discs have 0 turn which means that they'll start to fade when they run out of speed during the flight and at no point will they turn. It's important to carry at least one disc with a high turn rating in your bag for rounds. ×

  • Fadei 4

    This last rating category ranges from 0 to 5; with a disc rated 0 being the straightest finishing, while a disc rated 5 fading the most during the last portion of the flight. Even discs rated lowest in turn will still ‘fade’ as the disc slows at the end of the flight. A disc with a higher fade rating is useful for a hole with a dogleg. Straight finishing discs are great for control, discs with little fade are normal. If you're a Right-hand backhand thrower you'll find that almost every disc wants to fade to the left at the end of your flight. Discs with a 4 or 5 fade rating are excellent in heavy winds. They sacrifice a little of the distance but make sure that the disc won't do anything unexpected. Discs with a low fade are more susceptible to being affected by the wind. ×

Product Description

The MVP Proton Deflector Disc Golf Midrange is an overstable disc that's trustworthy and will help you park more of your upshots. It's not built for distance, it's got one job and that's to sit down near the basket.

The flight path of the MVP Proton Deflector is a strong hyzer that lasts throughout the flight. This disc has a very low glide rating for a mid range. It's not supposed to be in the air a long time, it only goes where you throw it. The hyzer is sharp and as soon as the disc starts to lose power the Deflector will drop its outer wing and begin to hyzer out. It's a great forehand or backhand disc that fills the role of a Zone/Harp/Pig from other manufacturers. However it does not have a bead and retains that stability. You can know that even when released on an anhyzer the Deflector is going to finish out with a hyzer. This disc won't be your furthest flying, but it should be one you're confident and accurate with between 50 and 150 feet.

Proton plastic is the most durable blend from MVP disc sports. It's designed to take a beating and to retain the same flight characteristics for a long time, this is essential if you're playing with a disc like the Deflector where it will be hitting the ground hard. Proton plastic is worth the couple of extra dollars because you'll be using this disc for a long time.

If you want something that you can rely on to get you close to the basket, and to not flip over in any wind, then get yourself one of these awesome Proton Deflectors from MVP and start parking your shots.
