MVP Disc Golf Particle Eclipse Glow James Conrad Bendy James Detour - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-GYRO25-DET (REF2423-2)
Description
The MVP Particle Eclipse Detour midrange is James Conrad's understable, glidey midrange, molded in Particle Eclipse 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 Bendy James release of the Detour, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Particle Eclipse Plastic
Particle Eclipse combines MVP's Eclipse glow material with tiny, ultra-bright glowing specks mixed into the core, creating a starry-night look when charged. It charges quickly and shines brightly for night rounds, with a firm, durable premium feel. Discs in Particle Eclipse tend to fly noticeably more overstable than standard runs of the same mold, so expect a bit more fade from this Detour. The Detour is also available in Neutron.
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. |
