The MVP Wave is a stable to understable distance driver that is intended to simply extend the lines of a slightly slower disc, meaning that it can be used for longer hyzerflips, turnovers, and anhyzer lines while still maintaining a similar flight to a slower disc. It has a neutral hand feel and is often described as a faster Inertia. Players with slower arms will find that the Wave is suitable for long hyzers or even full S-curves when thrown flat. For higher arm speeds this disc fits more of a turnover and long hyzerflip slot. Different runs of the Wave have shown noticeable variation in flight and disc shape between different types of plastic. For instance, Fission tends to be more understable, whereas Proton Waves have been known to be slightly overstable. The Wave was released in 2015 as the second high-speed distance driver in the MVP lineup, and since then has remained a popular driver among MVP-sponsored FPO players. It’s available in almost all MVP plastics, and some of the original Special Edition stamped Waves are collectible.

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.
16.6 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.

The MVP Wave 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.
