When you need a straight fairway shot with a reliable fade, the MVP Servo is your disc. Part of MVP’s 16.5mm fairway lineup, a group of discs with a 6.5 speed rating, the Servo is a disc you can count on for straight and true power shots. You can force it to turnover, but given enough height it will fight out, making it great for flex shots. On the forehand it does basically the same as the backhand, giving a straight to fade flight, with potential for a flex shot if you force it.
The Servo has a touch more stability and fade than the Crave, which is often helpful for shots where you need to finish left (RHBH), or you need to fight out of the turnover. Like all the 16.5mm discs, it feels great in the hand as the wing is not that big, but big enough for a nice grip.
The flight ratings 6.5/5/-1/2 are accurate. Out of the hand the Servo flies straight with a bit of high speed turn, and then settles into a long straight line, until it fades out at the end. It is important to commit to the shot with the Servo, as it is not a finesse disc and if you go soft on power, it will fade out early. It can handle the power and you need to trust it to do its job.
I would like to see more players throwing the Servo as it is the type of disc you can build your bag around, and there are many times when you need more fade than the Crave will give. If you like the Crave, then you should give the Servo a try. It will feel familiar but offer some new possibilities in your game.
Very accurate description. I bag both the Servo and Crave. In lighter weights, you can get a nice flex out of it. Due to it’s sharper (driver-style) edge, it makes a great low approach/skip disc, but can be powered up if thrown on a higher line and will definitely finish with fade.
