The Anode is MVP's beadless straight putter, rated 2.5/3/0/0.5. It suits players who want a putter that goes straight for putts and approaches with very little fade, and who prefer a smooth, bead-free rim. Players who want a putter that fights the wind or finishes with a strong fade should look at something more stable; MVP positions its beaded Ion as the more stable choice in the same class. MVP says its deep profile keeps lateral movement down, so it holds a straight line with minimal fade for both strong and softer throwers. MVP also pitches it for finesse approaches, long hyzer and anhyzer lines, and straight drives off short tees. The PDGA approved the Anode on 15 January 2012 (12-05). It sits in MVP's 11 mm putt-and-approach class with the Ion and Spin. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Kraken Discs Mimic and the Dynamic Discs Agent.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
