The Motion is an MVP distance driver rated 9/3.5/0/4: a speed-9 disc with almost no high-speed turn and a heavy fade at the end of its flight. It suits players who want a driver that holds its line into the wind or off a forehand and then hooks out predictably. Players looking for a straight finish or extra carry may find it too stable. For a right-hand backhand that means a flight that stays on line and then dumps hard to the left (to the right for a left-hand backhand or a right-hand forehand). MVP says it is designed to stand up to power and headwinds, and presents it as a dependable fade driver for average arms and a straight-to-overstable distance driver for strong ones. Its glide of 3.5 is low for a speed-9 driver, so it trades some carry for that resistance to turning over. The PDGA approved the Motion on 22 February 2014 (14-13). MVP files it in its 18.5 mm distance-driver class next to the Tesla, Inertia and Impulse, and points fans of its older Resistor toward the Motion for similar behaviour with more distance. On our comparison table it sits closest to the Innova Firebird and the Thought Space Athletics Omen. Try Discs lists it in Neutron and Plasma as of October 2026.

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.
