MVP Disc Golf Eclipse Tesla Distance Driver 9/5/-1/2 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-E-TES (REF2217-6)
Description
The MVP Eclipse Tesla distance driver is MVP's stable 9-speed distance driver, molded in Eclipse plastic. It's built for players who want long-range pinpoint accuracy, and it's at its best on controlled distance drives and headwind lines. If you're shopping for a dependable Tesla 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 Tesla 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 Tesla is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Fission, Neutron and Plasma.
The Mold
The Tesla is a 21.1 cm distance driver with an 18.5 mm rim. The Tesla's responsive design balances a subtle turn with a reliable fade, while pronounced glide and a forward finish add extra distance. It extends high-power or headwind lines and has plenty of bite to fade back and reduce lateral drift. MVP calls the Tesla the big brother to the Volt.
Stability
The Tesla is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
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 | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the MVP Tesla good for beginners?
It can be. The Tesla's balanced flight is manageable for newer players, though an understable driver may be easier for your very first.
Is the MVP Tesla overstable?
Not really. The Tesla is stable, rated 9/5/-1/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
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 Tesla?
The MVP Eclipse Photon (11/5/-0.5/2.5) is described by MVP as a longer Tesla.
How far does the MVP Tesla 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.
