SKU: DG-MVP-N-JCDET (REF1873-59)
Description
The MVP Neutron Detour midrange is James Conrad's understable, glidey midrange, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players who love shaping lines and newer players who want a straight, easy midrange, and it's at its best on long panning turnovers and easy hyzer-flips. This listing is the James Conrad Signature release of the Detour, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Neutron Plastic
Neutron is MVP's most popular plastic and its flagship blend. It's opaque with a premium look and feel and a dependable grip, and it comes in the widest selection of bright colors, which makes your Detour easy to spot in the rough. Neutron shares the high durability of Proton, so it holds its flight for a long time instead of wearing in quickly. It comes with a black GYRO rim for better line holding. The Detour is also available in Particle Eclipse.
The Mold
The Detour is a 21.6 cm midrange with a 12.5 mm rim. Part of the James Conrad lineup, the Detour fits between the Axiom Hex and MVP Uplink. Conrad is known for his beautiful backhand turnover lines, and the Detour excels at those long, panning turnovers as well as easy hyzer-flips. Experienced players will find it exceptionally easy to manipulate for a wide variety of shot shapes.
Stability
The Detour is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
