About the Photon

Photon: MVP’s stable distance driver

The MVP Photon is another slightly understable and medium fading distance driver, however it is available in more types of plastic. It’s also a good forearm flick disc. Available in super light 135g to 175g weights in Neutron, Fission, and Proton plastic.

PDGA specs

Measured by the PDGA when the Photon was certified. Each drawing shows what the number measures.

First approved: Feb 6, 2015

Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the diameter dimensioned — Diameter21.1cmOutside edge to outside edge. The PDGA allows 21 to 30 cm; nearly every golf disc sits just over 21.

Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the height dimensioned — Height1.4cmFrom the bottom of the rim to the top of the dome, standing flat.

Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the rim depth dimensioned — Rim depth1.1cmFrom the bottom of the rim up to where the inner rim meets the flight plate — the pocket your fingers curl into. At least 1.1 cm.

Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the rim width dimensioned — Rim width2.2cmOuter edge to inner edge of the rim (the PDGA calls it rim thickness). Wider rims generally mean faster discs. Capped at 2.6 cm.

Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the inside rim diameter dimensioned — Inside rim diameter16.6cmAcross the hollow underneath, inner rim wall to inner rim wall. At least 15.8 cm.

Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the rim depth ratio dimensioned — Rim depth ratio5.2%Rim depth as a share of the diameter. The PDGA allows 5 to 12 percent.

Flies like…

How much the Photon turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
