The Nitro is a stable-to-overstable MVP distance driver rated 13/4/-0.5/3. It has a demanding speed requirement and a wide rim: power throwers get a shallow, flight-extending turn before a firm fade, while average throwers may see that turn only in a headwind or with a lighter disc. Newer players are likely to find speed 13 hard to use well. MVP places it in the same stability family as its Servo, Volt, Tesla and Photon, and says its dome gives it good glide when fully powered. MVP's Energy uses the same core and dome shape as the more overstable option in that 23 mm class. The PDGA approved the Nitro on 13 May 2016 (16-47). Try Discs lists it in Neutron as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Axiom Panic and the Dynamic Discs Raider.

HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
1.9 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.

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.
