← Deflector
Discs that fly like the MVP Disc Sports Deflector
The Deflector is a overstable midrange (5/3.5/0/4). One of the most overstable midranges made: low glide and a hard, reliable fade even off an anhyzer or into a strong headwind. Used for forehand approaches, skips, spike hyzers and get-out-of-trouble shots rather than distance; too stable for most beginners. The MVP family's go-to overstable mid alongside the Pyro.
These are the most widely thrown discs that fly closest to it, ranked by flight numbers, real-world stability and what players use them for. Highlighted numbers differ from the Deflector.
