MVP Ohm

The MVP Ohm is a 2-speed stable putt & approach. With published flight numbers of 2 / 5 / 0 / 1, it is most often described as suited for straight putts inside the circle, flat putter drives around 200 feet.

Overview

The Ohm is MVP's 9mm putt and approach disc, rated 2 / 5 / 0 / 1.^[1] MVP built it from the Streamline Pilot shape with more of the company's GYRO overmold rim weighting, and lists it in the 9mm class between the Nomad and the Watt on relative stability.^[1] MVP's own page is inconsistent about how stable it is: the class label reads neutral-stable while the headline describes a durable, overstable putter.^[1] The PDGA approved it on February 20, 2020 under certification 20-16, at 21.2cm across and 1.9cm tall, with a 1.5cm rim depth and a 176.0 gram cap.^[2]

Flight characteristics

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

Recommended uses

The Ohm is a putter you can also drive. Five points of glide is high for the class, and with 0 turn and 1 fade it holds a line off the tee and finishes with a small, predictable bend. That covers straight putts inside the circle, flat putter drives around 200 feet, short approaches into wind, and touch shots where a more overstable approach disc would fade out too early. MVP sells it in Neutron and Cosmic Neutron, both firm blends that keep the flight consistent as the disc wears.^[1] Stock weights run 165 to 175 grams.^[1]

Best for:

• Straight putts inside the circle
• Flat putter drives around 200 feet
• Short approaches into a headwind
• Touch shots that should not fade early

Plastics & variants

The Ohm is available in the following plastic blends from MVP:^[1]

Neutron, Cosmic Neutron

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

MVP designed the Ohm as a companion to the Streamline Pilot, a putter from MVP's sister brand, keeping the Pilot's profile but adding the heavier rim weighting the company markets as its GYRO overmold.^[1] It was approved by the PDGA on February 20, 2020 under certification 20-16 and debuted in Neutron plastic.^[1][2] MVP has kept it in the lineup since, adding Cosmic Neutron alongside the original blend.^[1] Within MVP's own 9mm putt and approach class the Ohm is charted between the Nomad and the Watt, so it is the middle option rather than the overstable one, despite the wording on the product page.^[1] Michael Ramanauskas is the Team MVP player listed as bagging it on MVP's site.^[1] No individual designer is publicly credited for the mold.
