The MVP Proton Reactor midrange is MVP's workhorse midrange, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players who want a reliable, glidey mid that does it all, and it's at its best on straight midrange drives and swooping hyzer and anhyzer lines. This listing is the Project Lab Coat OTB Open 2026 release of the Reactor, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Proton Plastic
Proton is MVP's original premium blend: a translucent core with stunning optical clarity and vibrant candy colors, paired with a white 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 Reactor is also available in Eclipse and Neutron.
What Is Project Lab Coat?
Project Lab Coat (PLC) is MVP's lineup refresh, making sure their discs are the best they can be today, not what made sense a decade ago. Many stock stamps were 10 to 15 years old, so PLC brings new designs built on MVP's multi-foil stamping. Proton stamps are getting a complete overhaul with a fresh concept. Starting in 2026, every MVP plastic line moves to a white GYRO rim.
Why it's a win: the flight and plastic don't change. PLC discs come from the same molds and plastic, made in the same Marlette, Michigan facility, so this Reactor flies just like the pre-PLC "Classics," with a fresh look and a white rim that's easier to spot on the course. On Proton, the white rim also boosts the plastic's optical glow.
The Mold
The Reactor is a 21.4 cm midrange with a 13 mm rim. The Reactor fits in the gap between the out-of-production Vector and Axis. With a modern profile and enhanced GYRO effect, it has noticeably more glide than the Vector and a tick more stability than the Axis. That combination lets it carve up any fairway, from swooping anhyzers to booming hyzers.
Stability
The Reactor 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 | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -0.5 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Reactor
- MVP Eclipse Resistor (6.5/5/0/3.5): An overstable fairway driver for wind.
- MVP Neutron Detour (5/5/-2/1): An understable midrange for turnovers.
- MVP Proton Servo (6.5/5/-1/2): A straight-stable fairway driver for a little more distance.
- MVP Proton Watt (2/5/-0.5/0.5): A high-glide putter for approaches and putting.
FAQ
Is the MVP Reactor good for beginners?
Yes. Its straight flight and glide make the Reactor easy to throw, and it's a disc you'll keep as you improve.
Is the MVP Reactor overstable?
Not really. The Reactor is stable, rated 5/5/-0.5/1.5, 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 Project Lab Coat change how the Reactor flies?
No. MVP says Project Lab Coat is solely a visual refresh. The Reactor is made in the same mold, from the same plastic, in the same facility, so it flies exactly the same.
What disc is similar to the MVP Reactor?
The MVP Neutron Detour (5/5/-2/1) is a glidey midrange with a little more turn.
How far does the MVP Reactor 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.
