The Resistor is an overstable MVP driver rated 6.5/4/0/3.5, listed here as a control driver and sold by MVP as a fairway driver. It is a slower driver built for accurate overstable placement shots: strong throwers get a delayed, firm fade, while average throwers see the fade arrive earlier. Players who want a straight finish or an easy turnover should look elsewhere. MVP credits its flat, overstable profile and GYRO weighting with resisting turnover. Eagle McMahon has a 2025 Synergy Series Proton Resistor. Players on Disc Golf Course Review discuss variation between runs, with some newer runs flying less stable than older ones. The PDGA approved the Resistor on 23 September 2013 (13-59). Fifteen MVP team players list it in their bags as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Gateway Demon and the Streamline Turbulence.

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.
