MVP Orbital 🥏 Understable Distance Driver

Q: Is the MVP Orbital a good disc for backhands?

Yes. It excels at hyzer flips, sweeping turnovers, and rollers, making it a great choice for players looking to shape creative lines with minimal effort.

Q: Is the MVP Orbital a good disc for forehands?

It can work for low-power or finesse forehands, especially for turnover flicks, but its high understability makes it less reliable for high-torque forehand drives.

Q: Does the MVP Orbital handle the wind well?

Not particularly. Its understable nature makes it vulnerable in headwinds, though it performs well in tailwinds or calm conditions where glide and turn are assets.

MVP Orbital Flight Review

The MVP Orbital is a highly understable distance driver built for maximum glide and effortless turnover flights. Tailored for lower arm speeds or finesse shots, it excels at long anhyzers, hyzer flips, and rollers. The Orbital flips up quickly out of the hand, turning deeply and holding the line before finishing with a gentle fade.

In calm conditions or tailwinds, the Orbital delivers exceptional distance with minimal effort. Power throwers can easily manipulate it for roller lines or turnover shots, while newer players will appreciate how easily it gets up to speed and flies far with clean form.

Forehand players can use the Orbital for touchy turnover flicks and placement shots, though it’s best suited to controlled, lower-torque throws. Backhand throwers will find it great for shaping long, glidey lines and experimenting with angle control.

The Orbital brings finesse, creativity, and range to any bag, offering an understable flight that excels at shaping long turnovers, hyzer flips, and specialty shots with ease.

The Orbital is designed as the most understable driver in the acclaimed 21.5mm Distance class. Fans of the Wave, Inertia, and Impulse will find a familiar highly responsive character in the Orbital, as it can be manipulated onto a variety of lines relative to power level and release angles. Smooth throwers and those with modest driver power will maximize straight-distance flights best with the Orbital. Power throwers will discover a range of roller, sky turn, and low ceiling finesse lines.
