MVP Disc Golf Neutron Orbital Distance Driver 11/5/-4.5/1 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-N-ORB (REF357-90)
Description
The MVP Neutron Orbital distance driver is MVP's most understable 11-speed distance driver, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for smooth throwers, players with modest driver power, and power players who want finesse lines, and it's at its best on straight max-distance flights, rollers, and sky turns. If you're shopping for a dependable Orbital 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 Orbital 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 Orbital is also available in Eclipse, Fission and Proton.
The Mold
The Orbital is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 21.5 mm rim. The Orbital is the most understable driver in MVP's 21.5mm distance class. Fans of the Wave, Inertia, and Impulse will find a familiar, highly responsive character that can be manipulated onto many lines depending on power and release. Power throwers will discover rollers, sky turns, and low-ceiling finesse lines.
Stability
The Orbital 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 | 11 | 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 | -4.5 | Lots of turn to the right (RHBH), built for rollers and big turnovers. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

FAQ
Is the MVP Orbital good for beginners?
Yes. MVP says smooth throwers and those with modest driver power get the best straight distance from the Orbital.
Is the MVP Orbital overstable?
No. The Orbital is understable, rated 11/5/-4.5/1. It has 4.5 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 Orbital?
The MVP Neutron Wave (11/5/-2/2) is a less understable 11-speed with more fade.
How far does the MVP Orbital fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 375 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
