MVP Detour
The MVP Detour is James Conrad’s understable midrange, built for smooth turnovers and easy hyzer-flips. It fits perfectly between the Axiom Hex and the MVP Uplink, giving you a glidey line-shaper that’s just understable enough to work but still predictable.
Flight: 5 | 5 | -2 | 1. The Detour pops up from hyzer, pans on a gentle turn, and finishes with a soft, forward fade for precise control. Official specs

Plastics
Neutron (premium): flagship opaque blend with excellent grip and durability. Neutron Detours give the stock 5 | 5 | -2 | 1 flight and are the go-to choice for a primary Detour in your bag.
Eclipse (Proton glow – select runs): MVP’s ultra-bright glow plastic with Proton durability. Eclipse Detours keep the same understable, glidey flight with added visibility for night and low-light rounds.
R2 Neutron (recycled premium – special runs): eco-friendly recycled Neutron with a black core and white rim. R2 Detours feel grippy and familiar while reusing material, and they fly like a classic Neutron Detour.

FAQs
What are the MVP Detour flight numbers and what do they mean?
The Detour is rated 5 | 5 | -2 | 1. That means midrange speed, strong glide, easy high-speed turn, and a soft fade—ideal for turnovers, hyzer-flips, and long shaping shots.
How does the Detour fit between the Hex and Uplink?
The Hex is more neutral-stable, the Uplink is more understable. The Detour sits between them, giving you a controllable, slightly understable midrange that still finishes forward.
Is the MVP Detour beginner friendly?
Yes. Newer players will see straight-to-turning flights that help them learn line control. It doesn’t require a ton of power to get full use from the glide and turn.
What shots does the Detour excel at?
Long panning turnovers, flip-to-flat woods shots, touchy hyzer-flips, and controlled standstill throws. It’s built to hold the angle you release it on without a surprise dump.
Which Detour plastic should I choose?
Choose Neutron for your main workhorse midrange. Pick Eclipse if you want glow performance in the same mold. Grab R2 Neutron if you prefer an eco-friendly, recycled option with a unique black-and-white Gyro® look.
