MVP Disc Golf Neutron Octane Distance Driver 13/5/-1/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The MVP Neutron Octane distance driver is MVP's high-speed, stable-understable distance driver, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players chasing max distance with straight, controllable lines, and it's at its best on long, straight drives and hyzer-flips for max distance. If you're shopping for a dependable Octane 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 Octane 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 Octane is also available in Fission, Plasma and Proton.
The Mold
The Octane is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 23 mm rim. The Octane falls in the same general stability lineage as the Inertia and Wave, with a slow-turning profile that holds long and straight until its fade finish. The 23mm Octane is designed to be less understable than its 21.5mm counterpart, the Wave. Power throwers can hyzer-flip it for max distance and tailwind lines.
Stability
The Octane is stable-to-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 | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong 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 Octane good for beginners?
It can be. MVP says average throwers should see straight flights with a bit of shallow turn, though a slower driver may be easier to control at first.
Is the MVP Octane overstable?
No. The Octane is stable-to-understable, rated 13/5/-1/2. It has 1 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 Octane?
The MVP Neutron Catalyst (13/5.5/-2/2) shares the Octane's core and dome, with more turn.
How far does the MVP Octane fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 410 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
