SKU: DG-MVP-PT-ION (1087-21)
Description
The MVP Proton Ion putter is MVP's beaded stable putter, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for power putters and players who want one putter for all conditions, and it's at its best on firm putts, long powerful approaches, and windy days. If you're shopping for a dependable Ion for your bag, this Proton run is a great place to start.
Proton Plastic
Proton is MVP's original premium blend: a translucent core with stunning optical clarity and vibrant candy colors, paired with a black GYRO rim. It's designed for high durability and a long, consistent life, even in the roughest conditions. Proton has similar durability to Neutron with slightly more grip, and the translucent core looks great with an LED light for night rounds. The Ion is also available in Electron, Electron Firm, Electron Soft and Neutron.
The Mold
The Ion is a 21 cm putt and approach disc with an 11 mm rim. The Ion's beaded rim makes it a straight-to-overstable flier, so power putters can use it with confidence. It can hold long, powerful lines with a late, subtle fade, making it a very versatile putter for all conditions.
Stability
The Ion is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 2.5 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 1.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
Flight Chart
Discs That Pair Well With the Ion
- MVP Neutron Spin (2.5/4/-2/0): An understable putter for turnover approaches.
- MVP Neutron Entropy (4/3/0/3): An overstable putter for stronger wind and hard approaches.
- MVP Proton Atom (3/3/0/1): A straight-stable putter with more distance off the tee.
- MVP Proton Reactor (5/5/-0.5/1.5): A straight midrange to bridge the gap to your drivers.
FAQ
Is the MVP Ion good for beginners?
Yes. The Ion's straight-to-stable flight is easy to control, and the late fade keeps misses predictable.
Is the MVP Ion overstable?
Not really. The Ion is stable, rated 2.5/3/0/1.5, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Proton and Neutron plastic?
Proton is translucent with slightly more grip, while Neutron is opaque. Both are highly durable and hold their flight for a long time.
Does the Ion have a bead?
Yes. The Ion is MVP's beaded stable putter. If you prefer a beadless rim, try the MVP Neutron Anode.
What disc is similar to the MVP Ion?
The MVP Neutron Anode (2.5/3/0/0.5) is the beadless version of the same idea, with a little less fade.
How far does the MVP Ion fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 230 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
