Meet Vitreledonella richardi, AKA Richard the glass octopus! Mike Inscho illustrates this triple-foil design on the Proton Soft Proxy, a low-profile straight-to-understable putter versatile enough for a broad range of manipulation and shot shapes. Proton Soft is not a plastic type that the Proxy is run in often, and the swirly rims on these discs have to be seen to be believed. Exclusive to the OTB Open 2026 releases, Proxy lovers are going to eat these up!
The Proxy shares the Envy mold’s core, lending the same low-profile feel and solid grip, along with a short wing width and wide flight plate diameter for superior glide. The Proxy sets itself apart from the Envy with a remarkably straight forward-fading finish. A bit of high-speed turn potential allows the Proxy’s lines to be manipulated over a broad range of power and helps less powerful throwers achieve straight putter drives.

About the plastic: Proton Soft has a great feel in the hand, typically on the softer side and they are often semi-transparent in looks. This an out of production plastic at MVP, and only brought out for special runs such as these. Extremely gummy, grippy, with minimal ground play which makes it perfect for approach shots. They are one of the more stable plastics out of MVP besides Eclipse. These are extremely durable, and look really fantastic in vibrant colors.
