MVP Disc Golf Electron Ion Soft Putter 2.5/3/0/1.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-MVP-TR-IONSFT (REF 59/18)
Description
The MVP Electron Soft Ion putter is MVP's beaded stable putter, molded in Electron Soft plastic. It's built for power putters and players who want one putter for all conditions, and it's at its best on firm putts, long powerful approaches, and windy days. If you're shopping for a dependable Ion for your bag, this Electron Soft run is a great place to start.
Electron Soft Plastic
Electron Soft is the most flexible version of MVP's grippy, matte Electron baseline plastic. It has the same tactile, all-weather grip that holds up in rain, cold, and morning dew, with a softer feel in the hand. Like all Electron, it's designed to wear slowly, gaining a little glide and flying straighter as it breaks in. The GYRO overmold keeps your Ion on line, and premium blends like Neutron hold their out-of-the-box flight longer if you want less wear. The Ion is also available in Electron, Electron Firm, Neutron and Proton.
The Mold
The Ion is a 21 cm putt and approach disc with an 11 mm rim. The Ion's beaded rim makes it a straight-to-overstable flier, so power putters can use it with confidence. It can hold long, powerful lines with a late, subtle fade, making it a very versatile putter for all conditions.
Stability
The Ion is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 2.5 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 1.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the MVP Ion good for beginners?
Yes. The Ion's straight-to-stable flight is easy to control, and the late fade keeps misses predictable.
Is the MVP Ion overstable?
Not really. The Ion is stable, rated 2.5/3/0/1.5, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.

Yes. The Ion is MVP's beaded stable putter. If you prefer a beadless rim, try the MVP Electron Soft Anode.

The MVP Electron Soft Anode (2.5/3/0/0.5) is the beadless version of the same idea, with a little less fade.
How far does the MVP Ion fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 230 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
