The Beam is an MVP distance driver introduced as the first mold in the company's enhanced GYRO-X line, a project MVP teased publicly as far back as 2017 before PDGA approval arrived in February 2021.

MVP has not published stock flight numbers for the Beam, so this listing carries none rather than repeating prototype estimates.

Availability has stayed limited. The first discs reached players as a GYRO-X prototype run at MVP's GYROpalooza event in 2025, with a stock Proton release still pending at retail.

SpeedHow hard the disc must be thrown to fly as designed. Putters are 1 to 3, the fastest drivers 14 and up.
-
GlideHow long the disc stays in the air. More glide means more distance from the same throw.
-
TurnHow much it drifts right early in flight (right-handed backhand). More negative, more drift.
