The Orbital is a very understable MVP distance driver rated 11/5/-4.5/1. Its large turn and light fade make it a disc for anhyzer lines, turnovers and rollers, and a straighter distance option for slower arms. Players who need a stable finish or a headwind driver should look elsewhere. MVP compares it to the Wave, Inertia and Impulse for its responsive character, and says it can be shaped onto a wide range of lines. Elaine King, a five-time world champion on MVP's team, has described throwing it high on an anhyzer through the woods and watching it hold the line. The PDGA approved the Orbital on 6 February 2015 (15-01). MVP released its first Eclipse Orbital in March 2024 and its first Proton Orbital in January 2026. MVP's class chart lists it as the least stable driver in its class as of October 2026. Try Discs lists it in Neutron, Proton and Eclipse. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Innova Mamba and the Innova Monarch.

HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
1.4 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.1 cm
Rim ThicknessHow wide the rim is. Wider rims make faster discs that need a stronger throw.
2.2 cm
Rim Inside DiameterThe width of the flat middle, inside the rim. Bigger usually means a slower, easier disc.
16.7 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.
5.2%
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.
