MVP Disc Golf Electron Ion Putter 2.5/3/0/1.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-TR-ION (REF 55-13)
Description
The MVP Electron Ion putter is MVP's beaded stable putter, molded in Electron 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 run is a great place to start.
Electron Plastic
Electron is MVP's high-tech take on baseline plastic. It has a matte, chalky feel with a tactile, ultra-grippy texture that holds up in rain, cold, and morning dew, which is exactly what you want from a disc you'll throw all year in Michigan. It's designed to wear slowly, and as your Ion picks up a few battle scars it gains a little glide and flies straighter. It's still overmolded with MVP's GYRO rim, so it keeps the line-holding feel GYRO fans expect. Compared to Neutron and Proton, Electron is the grippiest and most broken-in feeling, while those premium blends hold their out-of-the-box flight longer. The Ion is also available in Electron Firm, 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. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Ion
- MVP Electron Spin (2.5/4/-2/0): An understable putter for turnover approaches.
- MVP Electron Entropy (4/3/0/3): An overstable putter for stronger wind and hard approaches.
- MVP Electron Atom (3/3/0/1): A straight-stable putter with more distance off the tee.
- MVP Neutron Reactor (5/5/-0.5/1.5): A straight midrange to bridge the gap to your drivers.
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 and Neutron plastic?
Electron is a grippy, matte baseline blend that wears in and flies straighter over time. Neutron is MVP's flagship premium blend: more durable, with a premium look and feel, and it holds its flight longer.
Does the Ion have a bead?
Yes. The Ion is MVP's beaded stable putter. If you prefer a beadless rim, try the MVP Electron Anode.
What disc is similar to the MVP Ion?
The MVP Electron Anode (2.5/3/0/0.5) is the beadless version of the same idea, with a little less fade.
How far does the MVP Ion fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 230 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
