MVP Glitch

MVP Glitch Review

The Glitch is one of the newest MVP discs we have in stock. This unique putt and approach disc has a classic "lid" shape reminiscent of a catch frisbee. Its slow and floaty flight is excellent for controlled upshots, and perfect for a pre-round game of catch. This MVP Glitch review will help you decide if the Glitches we have on sale are right for you.

MVP Glitch Plastics

• Neutron Soft: The "flagship" blend, this premium plastic is stiffer and slicker than MVP's baseline Electron plastic. The Glitch has only been released the "Soft" version, perhaps to make it easier on the hands during a pre-round game of catch. 
• Eclipse Rim R2: MVP's Eclipse blend is the brightest and longest-lasting glow plastic on the market. In a special run of the Glitch, they debuted a design feature where only the rim is Eclipse plastic, while the "core" or "flight plate" is recycled plastic called R2.

MVP Glitch Flight Numbers

• Speed: 1
• Glide: 7
• Turn: 0
• Fade: 0

No, that's not a typo. MVP assigned the Glitch a 7 glide. After a few throws, it's hard to argue with it. This thing just hangs in the air, seemingly in slow motion, before it gently falls to the ground. It will hold a hyzer with a severe enough angle, but the Glitch mostly wants to fly flat and straight. It also excels on gentle anhyzer lines, but don't expect it flex back to center.

As an all-around putt and approach disc, the Glitch has limited versatility. It will get knocked around by the wind, and it lacks the stability to shape lines. It's also only produced in light weights, making it difficult to trust it on full-power shots. It fills a niche role during competitive rounds and is a utility option for special circumstances. 

Dimensions

• Diameter: 21.2cm
• Height: 2.0cm
• Rim Depth: 1.6cm
• Rim Width: 0.8cm

The Glitch has a classic "deep dish" shape with a tall and extremely thin rim. However, unlike other "lid" shaped discs, it has less of a squared-off shoulder. The outer rim has a rounded shape common in putters, making this a true hybrid of a catch frisbee and a golf disc. Bottom line is the Glitch's dimensions make it easy to throw for any player, regardless of hand size. 

History

Released in the summer of 2022, the Glitch is produced at a max weight of 154 grams. It has quickly become a very popular beginner-friendly disc. It is particularly well-designed for former Ultimate players transitioning to disc golf. It's perhaps the best disc to give brand-new players for their first round. 

Skill Level Recommendations

The Glitch is just plain fun, and will provide entertainment value to players of all skill levels. As a weapon on the course, it fills more of a niche role for most players.

• Novice: Perfect beginner disc. If you've ever played a game of catch with a frisbee, it will be easy to pick up a Glitch and hit the course. 
• Intermediate: Straight-line approach disc that doubles as a long-distance putter.
• Advanced: Utility disc for special circumstances.
• Pro: Simon Lizotte keeps a Glitch in the bag as a pre-round warm-up disc.
