Axiom Discs Project Lab Coat Fission Crave Fairway Driver 6.5/5/-1.5/1 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Fission Crave fairway driver is Axiom's most popular fairway driver and the workhorse of the lineup, molded in Fission plastic. It's built for players of all skill levels who want controllable, straight fairway drives, and it's at its best on straight fairway drives and controlled placement shots.
Fission Plastic
Fission is MVP's ultra-lightweight Neutron core plastic. Its Fission Microbubble Technology creates an ultralight core with evenly distributed, imperceptible microbubbles, which allows an even denser GYRO overmold relative to the core. The result is a lighter disc that keeps the stability of its heavier counterparts, with improved weight distribution and durability over prior bubble plastics. It's a great way to get extra distance from your Crave. The Crave is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse, Neutron and Plasma.
What Is Project Lab Coat?
Project Lab Coat (PLC) is the visual refresh of the MVP Disc Sports and Axiom Discs lineups, MVP's commitment to making sure their discs are the best they can be today, not what made sense a decade ago. Most MVP and Axiom stock stamps were 10 to 15 years old, so PLC brings fresh designs built on MVP's multi-foil stamping. Axiom keeps its signature colorful GYRO rims, and black rims are joining the Axiom color mix.
Why it's a win: the flight and plastic don't change. PLC discs come from the same molds and plastic, made in the same Marlette, Michigan facility, so this Crave flies just like the pre-PLC "Classics," with a fresh, modern look.
The Mold
The Crave is a 21.1 cm fairway driver with a 16.5 mm rim. It has proven time and again why it's a mainstay in bags around the world. Compared to MVP drivers, it's like a seasoned MVP Servo, with a popular "worn workhorse-stable" feel created by subtle wing contours that also feel great in the hand. Its stability, range of weights, and easy throw make it a GYRO staple.
Stability
The Crave is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. This Fission run is rated 6.5/5/-1.5/1, with a little more turn than the standard 6.5/5/-1/1. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 6.5 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1.5 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Crave
- Axiom Fission Rhythm (7/5/-2.5/1): An understable fairway driver for straight drives and turnovers.
- Axiom Neutron Bokeh (7/6/0/1): A stable, high-glide Simon Line fairway driver.
- Axiom Neutron Fireball (9/3.5/0/3.5): An overstable utility driver for forehands and headwinds.
- Axiom Neutron Hex (5/5/-1/1): A straight, versatile midrange for every shot shape.
FAQ
Is the Axiom Crave good for beginners?
Yes. MVP calls the Crave easy to throw, and its controllable straight flight makes it a great first fairway driver.
Is the Axiom Crave overstable?
Not really. The Crave is stable, rated 6.5/5/-1.5/1, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Fission and Neutron plastic?
Fission uses a microbubble Neutron core to make the disc lighter while increasing the GYRO effect. Standard Neutron is heavier and has the widest color selection.
Does Project Lab Coat change how the Crave flies?
No. MVP says Project Lab Coat is solely a visual refresh. The Crave is made in the same mold, from the same plastic, in the same facility, so it flies exactly the same.
What disc is similar to the Axiom Crave?
The MVP Servo (6.5/5/-1/2) is the closest match. MVP compares the Crave to a seasoned Servo.
How far does the Axiom Crave fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 300 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
