MVP Deflector Flight Review

If you're looking for a disc that fights wind, holds up to power, and delivers consistent, overstability, the MVP Deflector is a must-try. Known for its extreme overstability, the Deflector is one of the most trusted utility midranges in the MVP lineup, offering both predictability and control in tough situations.

The MVP Deflector features a traditional midrange profile with a pronounced rim and flat top. The overmold design provides added durability and grip, giving it the premium feel MVP fans expect. It feels solid and reliable in the hand, suitable for both backhand and forehand grips. The flat profile helps it sit comfortably in the hand and makes it easier to release cleanly for sidearm shots.

The most common plastic for the Deflector is Neutron, which offers a grippy, durable finish. It’s not slippery when wet and handles tree hits and rough landings with ease, making it ideal for wooded or rugged courses.

The Deflector is designed for strong fade and zero turn. It excels in utility roles forced hyzers, skip shots, and flex lines where you need the disc to reliably fight back. Even on powerful throws, it holds its line and finishes hard left (RHBH). You won’t see this disc flipping or gliding far; it's all about control and dependable fade.

This makes it a great option for shorter hyzer lines where a fairway driver might carry too far. It’s also perfect for windy rounds. While many midranges get pushed around by crosswinds or stall in headwinds, the Deflector punches through and finishes where you want it.

The Deflector is here to combat headwinds and produce powerfully overstable flights in all conditions. Among the most overstable midranges ever created, the Deflector answers the call of many fans looking for a slower-speed disc with a powerful fade. On an anhyzer release the Deflector will fight out of its turn and flatten out to fade. On a hyzer line the disc will follow a smooth fade with a pronounced stable finish. Showing its versatility by maintaining reliability for both forehand and backhand, the Deflector caters to all throwers.
