MVP Disc Golf Eagle McMahon’s Synergy Series Proton Resistor Fairway Driver 6.5/4/0/3.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-EMSS-PRES (REF2227-9)
Description
The MVP Proton Resistor fairway driver is MVP's overstable fairway driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players who need a controllable, wind-fighting fairway driver, and it's at its best on headwind drives, forehands, and hard-fading lines. This listing is the Eagle McMahon Synergy Series release of the Resistor, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Proton Plastic
Proton is MVP's original premium blend: a translucent core with stunning optical clarity and vibrant candy colors, paired with a black GYRO rim. It's designed for high durability and a long, consistent life, even in the roughest conditions. Proton has similar durability to Neutron with slightly more grip, and the translucent core looks great with an LED light for night rounds.
The Mold
The Resistor is a 21.1 cm fairway driver with a 16.5 mm rim. The Resistor is part of MVP's slower family of fairway drivers with more controllable speed. Its flat, overstable profile and GYRO technology let it resist turn and finish with a strong, reliable fade.
Stability
The Resistor is 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.
