Discs that fly like the MVP Disc Sports Photon
The Photon is a overstable driver (11/5/-1/2.5). An 11-speed MVP driver that leans clearly overstable: little turn even with power and a firm finish. Several players say it flies closer to a Firebird than to a neutral distance driver, so it's a hyzer, wind and forehand tool more than a max-distance disc. Fission runs are a touch less stable than Neutron/Proton. More stable than the Wave.
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 Photon.
