MVP Disc Golf Proton Matrix midrange 5/4/-1/2 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-PT-MTX (REF688-55)
Description
The MVP Proton Matrix midrange is MVP's stable, turnover-resistant midrange, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players of all power levels who want a dependable straight-then-fade mid, and it's at its best on long straight midrange lines with a dependable fade. If you're shopping for a dependable Matrix 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 Matrix is also available in Electron and Neutron.
The Mold
The Matrix is a 21.5 cm midrange with a 13 mm rim. The Matrix is designed to resist turnover for all power levels and situations, and MVP describes its stability as a longer Axiom Envy. Most throwers will see a long, straight travel followed by a dependable fade. It isn't a meat-hook overstable mid, but release angle makes all the difference, giving useful flights from anhyzer to flat to hyzer.
Stability
The Matrix 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 | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| 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. |

- MVP Proton Ion (2.5/3/0/1.5): A stable putter to round out your short game.
FAQ
Is the MVP Matrix good for beginners?
It can be. The Matrix resists turning over, so it's forgiving of off-axis releases, though newer players will see more fade than with an understable mid.
Is the MVP Matrix overstable?
Not really. The Matrix is stable, rated 5/4/-1/2, 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.
What disc is similar to the MVP Matrix?
The MVP Proton Reactor (5/5/-0.5/1.5) is MVP's workhorse mid with more glide and a little less fade.
How far does the MVP Matrix fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 275 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
