MVP Disc Golf Electron Ion Firm Putter 2.5/3/0/1.5 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The MVP Electron Firm Ion putter is MVP's beaded stable putter, molded in Electron Firm plastic. It's built for power putters and players who want one putter for all conditions, and it's at its best on firm putts, long powerful approaches, and windy days. If you're shopping for a dependable Ion for your bag, this Electron Firm run is a great place to start.
Electron Firm Plastic
Electron Firm is the stiffest version of MVP's grippy, matte Electron baseline plastic. You get the same tactile, all-weather grip that holds up in rain, cold, and morning dew, with a firmer, more solid feel in the hand. Like all Electron, it's designed to wear slowly, gaining a little glide and flying straighter as it breaks in. The GYRO overmold keeps your Ion on line, and premium blends like Neutron hold their out-of-the-box flight longer if you want less wear. The Ion is also available in Electron, Electron Soft, Neutron and Proton.
The Mold
The Ion is a 21 cm putt and approach disc with an 11 mm rim. The Ion's beaded rim makes it a straight-to-overstable flier, so power putters can use it with confidence. It can hold long, powerful lines with a late, subtle fade, making it a very versatile putter for all conditions.
Stability
The Ion 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 | 2.5 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 1.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the MVP Ion good for beginners?
Yes. The Ion's straight-to-stable flight is easy to control, and the late fade keeps misses predictable.
Is the MVP Ion overstable?
Not really. The Ion is stable, rated 2.5/3/0/1.5, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Electron Firm and Electron plastic?
Electron Firm uses the same grippy Electron texture but is stiffer, while regular Electron is the middle option. The flight numbers are the same, so choose by feel.

Yes. The Ion is MVP's beaded stable putter. If you prefer a beadless rim, try the MVP Electron Firm Anode.
