MVP Disc Sports Fission Photon – Distance Driver (165-170g)

The MVP Disc Sports Fission Photon is a distance driver crafted for players who want more distance without sacrificing control. Built around MVP’s Photon lineup philosophy, this disc blends speed, stability, and wind resilience in a 165–170 g range, offering a versatile tool for varied courses and conditions. Its Fission construction adds a lightweight feel while preserving a balanced, predictable flight path you can rely on from tee to finish.

Flight characteristics you can expect

The Photon is described as a longer-than-average distance driver with a natural headwind resistance and a reliable finish. With a flight rating around Speed 11 | Glide 5 | Turn -1.5 | Fade 2.5, it aims to accelerate cleanly and land softly on the line you intend. Throwers often notice a straight start that turns smoothly into a controlled fade, making it a practical choice for players who value precision on long tunnels and wide open fairways alike.

• Long glide supports extended distance without overexerting your arm
• Headwind tolerance helps maintain line in breezy conditions
• Predictable fade aids in finishing on the desired line

Fission technology and how it feels

Fission Microbubble Technology creates an ultralight core with evenly distributed microbubbles. The result is a lighter overall disc with a denser gyro overmold, which can translate to a responsive, well-balanced feel in the hand and during release. This construction supports stable speed and energy transfer across the 165–170 g weight class while keeping the disc feeling lively in flight.

• Ultralight core supports efficient energy transfer for consistent launches
• Even weight distribution enhances gyroscopic stability for smoother lines
• Lightweight feel can improve release comfort while maintaining control for seasoned players

PDGA approved for professional play, the Photon remains a reliable option on many courses. Colors may vary, so you can choose a shade that matches your bag or style. While results depend on throwing technique and conditions, the Photon’s blend of speed, stability, and wind resistance makes it a credible option for players seeking a dependable distance driver that can handle wind and deliver a steady finish.
