The Nomad is an MVP putter rated 2/4/0/1.5, the disc that launched the James Conrad Line in 2021. MVP describes a neutral-stable flight from a putter with a small bead, built to the depth and shoulder height James Conrad wanted. It suits players who want a dependable straight putter with a gentle finish. Players who want a very stable putter for wind, or a beadless rim, should look elsewhere. MVP says the line's theme came from James Conrad's love of travel and exploration. In August 2023 MVP released the first glow Nomad, in Eclipse R2 Neutron. The PDGA approved the Nomad on 22 March 2021 (21-36). Try Discs lists it in R2 Neutron, Eclipse R2 Neutron, Electron, Electron Firm, Electron Soft and Plasma as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Dynamic Discs Judge and the Dynamic Discs Jury.

The MVP Nomad is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
