MVP Disc Golf Neutron Impulse Distance Driver 9/5/-3/1 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The MVP Neutron Impulse distance driver is MVP's understable 9-speed distance driver, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players of all power levels, especially those still building arm speed, and it's at its best on hyzer-flips and straight-to-turnover distance lines. If you're shopping for a dependable Impulse for your bag, this Neutron run is a great place to start.
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 Impulse 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 Impulse is also available in Eclipse, Fission and Proton.
The Mold
The Impulse is a 21.1 cm distance driver with an 18.5 mm rim. The Impulse completes MVP's controllable distance driver class alongside the Inertia, with a wide weight range from 155 to 175 grams. That range gives you an unmatched GYRO push for added control on distance drives. High-power throwers can achieve controllable hyzer-flips that carry far and accurately.
Stability
The Impulse 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 | 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 | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Impulse
- MVP Neutron Tesla (9/5/-1/2): A stable 9-speed for controlled distance with a reliable fade.
- MVP Neutron Orbital (11/5/-4.5/1): An even more understable driver for rollers and big turnovers.
- MVP Neutron Signal (6/5/-3/1): An understable fairway driver for the same lines at shorter range.
- MVP Neutron Motion (9/3.5/0/4): An overstable 9-speed for headwinds and forehands.
FAQ
Is the MVP Impulse good for beginners?
Yes. MVP says even low-power throwers get reliably straight-to-turnover distance lines with accuracy from the Impulse.
Is the MVP Impulse overstable?
No. The Impulse is understable, rated 9/5/-3/1. It has 3 turn, so it's built for turnovers and hyzer-flips rather than hard fades.
What's the difference between Neutron and Proton plastic?
Neutron is opaque with a dependable grip, while Proton is translucent with similar durability and slightly more grip. Both hold their flight for a long time.
What disc is similar to the MVP Impulse?
The MVP Neutron Inertia (9/5/-2/2) is the same driver class with a little less turn and a little more fade.
How far does the MVP Impulse 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.
