The Energy is a very overstable MVP distance driver rated 13/4/0/4. MVP designed it to stand up to big throws into strong wind, and its own notes say it takes a lot of power to get moving. Strong throwers get a long, straight flight into headwinds before a heavy fade; average arms get much shorter lines and may use it for skip shots and headwind spikes instead. MVP describes it as the overstable end of its 23 mm class, built on the same core and dome shape as the Nitro. Players who want distance at moderate arm speeds should choose a slower or less stable driver. The PDGA approved the Energy on 6 June 2016 (16-56), the same day as the Catalyst. Try Discs lists it in Neutron as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Westside War Horse and the DGA Hypercane.

DiameterHow wide the disc is, edge to edge. Almost every disc is 21 to 22 cm.
21.1 cm
HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
2.1 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.2 cm
Rim ThicknessHow wide the rim is. Wider rims make faster discs that need a stronger throw.
2.4 cm
Rim Inside DiameterThe width of the flat middle, inside the rim. Bigger usually means a slower, easier disc.
16.3 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.
5.7%
Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.
26
BeadA small ridge under the edge of the rim, mostly on putters. It changes how the disc feels in hand.

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.
