MVP Discs Sports Eclipse Glow Impulse Distance Driver 9/5/-3/1 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-EC-IMP (REF2891-3)
Description
The MVP Eclipse Impulse distance driver is MVP's understable 9-speed distance driver, molded in Eclipse plastic. It's built for players of all power levels, especially those still building arm speed, and it's at its best on hyzer-flips and straight-to-turnover distance lines. If you're shopping for a dependable Impulse for your bag, this Eclipse run is a great place to start.
Eclipse Glow Plastic
Eclipse is MVP's premium glow plastic, built with their ultra-bright Glow Core 2.0 for visibility day or night. It's highly durable, so your Impulse will have a long, consistent life, and it's a top pick for glow rounds and late-evening leagues. MVP notes that Eclipse offers an alternate flight compared to its other premium plastics, so it may fly a little differently than the same mold in Neutron or Proton. The Impulse is also available in Fission, Neutron and Proton.
The Mold
The Impulse is a 21.1 cm distance driver with an 18.5 mm rim. The Impulse completes MVP's controllable distance driver class alongside the Inertia, with a wide weight range from 155 to 175 grams. That range gives you an unmatched GYRO push for added control on distance drives. High-power throwers can achieve controllable hyzer-flips that carry far and accurately.
Stability
The Impulse is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Impulse
- MVP Eclipse Tesla (9/5/-1/2): A stable 9-speed for controlled distance with a reliable fade.
- MVP Eclipse Orbital (11/5/-4.5/1): An even more understable driver for rollers and big turnovers.
- MVP Neutron Signal (6/5/-3/1): An understable fairway driver for the same lines at shorter range.
- MVP Eclipse Resistor (6.5/5/0/3.5): An overstable fairway driver for headwinds and forehands.
FAQ
Is the MVP Impulse good for beginners?
Yes. MVP says even low-power throwers get reliably straight-to-turnover distance lines with accuracy from the Impulse.
Is the MVP Impulse overstable?
No. The Impulse is understable, rated 9/5/-3/1. It has 3 turn, so it's built for turnovers and hyzer-flips rather than hard fades.
What's the difference between Eclipse and Neutron plastic?
Eclipse is MVP's durable premium glow plastic for night rounds, and it can fly a little differently. Neutron is the opaque flagship blend with the widest color selection.
What disc is similar to the MVP Impulse?
The MVP Eclipse Inertia (9/5/-2/2) is the same driver class with a little less turn and a little more fade.
How far does the MVP Impulse fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 345 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
