About the Ion
MVP have introduced a unique, innovative putter into the disc golf market called the Ion. The Ion is a straight-flying putter with a lot of glide that has an over-moulded edge. This over-molded edge allows for a choice in flexibilities and firmnesses without sacrificing a desired soft, tacky outside edge. A softer outside edge will aid in grabbing the chains and dropping into the basket. In addition to its unique over-mold design is the comfortable grip of the disc. The edge where the flight plate meets the rim is rounded, so your fingers conform to the disc when you hold it.
MVP use polyurethane for our plastics, which is a polymer widely known for being one of the most durable plastics available in the disc golf market. The unique advantage about the polyurethane they have available to them is that they have a vast variety of flexibilities of polyurethane, meaning they can produce their discs in a wide range of flexibilities to suit all needs of firmnesses.
The soft over-mold is made by a two-step injection molding process. First they run the inside core with the desired flexibility. Then they mold a softer material around the outside. As you can see in the cross-section image below, the plastics are mechanically and chemically bonded to form a solid union
