MVP Disc Golf Cosmic Neutron Photon Distance Driver 11/5/-1/2.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-CN-PHO (REF 67-82)
Description
The MVP Cosmic Neutron Photon distance driver is MVP's stable-overstable 11-speed distance driver, molded in Cosmic Neutron plastic. It's built for players of all power levels who want a reliable fade, and it's at its best on long drives with a reliable fade and headwind shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Photon for your bag, this Cosmic Neutron run is a great place to start.
Cosmic Neutron Plastic
Cosmic Neutron is MVP's premium Neutron blend enhanced with bright color swirls, so no two discs look quite the same. Under the swirls, it's the same plastic: the grip, premium feel, and durability of Neutron and Proton, so your Photon holds its flight for a long time. The unique color blends also make it a favorite for custom stamping, and the GYRO overmold keeps it on line. The Photon is also available in Eclipse, Fission, Neutron and Plasma.
The Mold
The Photon is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 21 mm rim. MVP describes the Photon as a longer Tesla. Power throwers can get some flight-extending turn, and all throwers get a reliable fade. It's naturally headwind resistant, and average-power throwers can use a headwind to mimic the extended flights of high-power throwers.
Stability
The Photon is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 11 | 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 | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Photon
- MVP Cosmic Neutron Wave (11/5/-2/2): A stable-understable 11-speed for turnovers.
- MVP Neutron Phase (11/3.5/0/4): An overstable 11-speed for heavier wind.
- MVP Cosmic Neutron Volt (8/5/-0.5/2): A slightly overstable fairway driver for placement.
- MVP Neutron Reactor (5/5/-0.5/1.5): A straight midrange for approaches.
FAQ
Is the MVP Photon good for beginners?
It can work for newer players, especially into a headwind, but expect a reliable fade. A straighter driver may be easier as your first.
Is the MVP Photon overstable?
Yes. The Photon is stable-to-overstable, rated 11/5/-1/2.5, so it resists turning over and finishes with a dependable fade.
What's the difference between Cosmic Neutron and Neutron plastic?
Cosmic Neutron is Neutron with bright color swirls. It shares Neutron's grip and durability, so the difference is the look.
What disc is similar to the MVP Photon?
The MVP Cosmic Neutron Tesla (9/5/-1/2) is the slower option. MVP describes the Photon as a longer Tesla.
How far does the MVP Photon fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 375 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
