MVP Tesla Stable Fairway Driver
The MVP Tesla is a neutral 9-speed that is highly popular among Gyronauts! It's a low-profile disc that can be thrown backhand and sidearm.
Players love its controlled and accurate flight. It has the perfect blend of speed, glide, and overstability for distance with accuracy!
As you beat in Tesla it becomes more neutral, with a touch more turn. This can result in super straight flights.
The disc has recently been in the spotlight since Simon Lizotte started bagging it back in January 2023. He loves it for its accuracy and versatility.
Here's what MVP Disc Sports has to say about the Tesla:
The Teslaâs responsive design balances a subtle turn and reliable fade, while a pronounced glide and forward finish gain extra distance. The Tesla extends high power or headwind lines and has plenty of bite to fade back reliably and reduce lateral drift. The Tesla can be considered the big brother to our acclaimed Volt fairway driver. Choose the Tesla for long-range pinpoint accuracy.
