MVP Disc Sports Eclipse Glow 2.0 Reactor Disc Golf Midrange (170-175g) Review (2026)

Who the Reactor in glow plastic fits

The Reactor is MVP's workhorse midrange, built for gap hitting, control and accuracy on both forehand and backhand lines, and the Eclipse Glow 2.0 version brings that same flight to evening rounds and glow leagues. It is a good match for players who already like a neutral to slightly stable midrange and want a night bag option that flies the same way as their daytime disc, rather than a specialty glow only mold. Lower power throwers get a dependable flat to fade shot, while higher power players will notice more of the subtle turn before the fade sets in. Anyone assembling a full glow set alongside a glow putter and driver will find the Reactor a sensible midrange anchor given its strong showing in the glow disc rankings.

Flight numbers and what the glow plastic adds

MVP lists the Reactor at 5 speed, 5 glide, -0.5 turn and 1.5 fade, a neutral stable profile with a slight GYRO push followed by a dependable fade rather than a hard stall. Eclipse Glow 2.0 is described by MVP as an ultra bright glow core built with Proton grade durability, meaning it aims for a longer, brighter charge than older glow blends while keeping the flight plate stiff and consistent. Compared with the standard Neutron Reactor, the Eclipse version tends to feel a touch more locked in and stable in the hand, a small trade made for the brighter glow. It measures 21.4 centimeters in diameter with a 1.4 centimeter rim width, sizing it as a fairly standard midrange in the hand.

Getting the most from a glow midrange

Charging the disc under a strong light source, a flashlight, phone light or a few minutes in the sun, gives noticeably better visibility than relying on ambient light before a round starts. Because Eclipse Glow 2.0 plastic runs firmer than MVP's softer blends, expect slightly less grip in damp evening air, so players who rely heavily on a soft release may want to wipe the disc down between throws. The firmer plastic does mean it resists dings and flat spotting well over repeated evening rounds. As with any glow disc, avoid storing it somewhere hot, since heat can warp the rim and throw off the honest, predictable flight that makes the Reactor mold popular in the first place.

Where it sits against other night discs

Within the glow rankings, the Reactor sits one spot behind Axiom's Eclipse Glow 2.0 Envy, though the two fill different bag slots since the Envy is a putter and the Reactor is a midrange, so most players will want both rather than choosing one. Against the OTB Glo ESP Buzzz, a more overstable midrange option, the Reactor offers a straighter, more neutral line that suits control shots better than pure headwind grinding. Dynamic Discs Moonshine Lucid Glow Escape scores similarly and rounds out the driver slot in a glow bag. The main trade off compared with a standard plastic Reactor remains grip, since the glow blend simply is not as tacky as Neutron in cold or wet evening air.

Verdict

For players who want their evening bag to fly the same as their daytime bag, the Eclipse Glow 2.0 Reactor delivers a proven neutral stable flight with one of the brighter glow charges available, supporting our score of 8.6 out of 10 for build and fit. It is not the best choice for players who specifically want a soft, gummy grip in their glow discs, or for newer players who would benefit from more stability than this neutral profile offers. As a midrange anchor for a dedicated glow bag, it remains a safe, well proven pick.
