PLH and Dome Guide
We measure Parting Line Height (PLH) and Dome on every disc so you know what you are actually getting, not just what the flight numbers say.
Parting Line Height (PLH)
The parting line is the seam around the middle of the rim.
- Higher number = higher PLH = more overstable
- Lower number = lower PLH = more understable
This is one of the most reliable ways to compare stability between discs of the same mold.
Dome
Dome is the height of the flight plate.
- Higher number = more dome
- Lower number = flatter top
Flatter discs usually feel faster and handle wind better.
More dome typically adds glide and carry.
Why we show a range
You will see:
- The measurement for the selected disc
- The full range for that run
The range gives the number context.
Example:
PLH 6 (range 4–6)
That means you are looking at the most overstable version from that batch.
This makes it easier to:
- Find true backups
- Compare multiple copies
- Dial in your stability exactly
Flight numbers describe the mold.
PLH and dome describe the individual disc.
The Wave is MVP´s most universally useful Distance Driver. With a neutral to understable stability profile and wide high-speed rim, the Wave performs course crushing flights at a range of power levels. Flying at the lower range of its desired airspeed, the Wave will be controllable and straight with predictable fade. At the upper range of its desired airspeed, the Wave will execute understable lines like flip-ups and turnovers. Because the Wave is so useful at varying airspeeds, many players are bagging multiple Waves at different weights. The Wave mold produces a less glassy blend of Proton than the Photon mold, but the mild added dome of the Proton Photon has been reproduced in the Wave, yielding a bit of power resistance for bigger arms. Like all 21.5mm Distance Drivers, the extra thin flight plate will lend a slightly gummy feeling plastic to the Wave, with the Proton blend itself remaining our classic medium firm Proton.
The four numbers on a disc tell you the discs’s flight characteristics: speed, glide, turn, and fade.
Lower speed ratings typically translate to a disc being easier to throw, but may not go as far. Higher the speed, further they’ll fly, but they are more difficult to throw.
Glide tells you how much it wants to stay in the air.
Turn indicates how much it wants to turn to the right at high speeds. -4 will turn more than -1.
Fade tells you about the end of the flight. The higher the number, the stronger it will finish to the left.
