Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-PLC-CN-VIR (REF2710-2)
Description
The Axiom Cosmic Neutron Virus distance driver is Axiom's easiest-to-throw distance driver, molded in Cosmic Neutron plastic. It's built for newer players and veterans who want a driver they can manipulate any way they need, and it's at its best on easy distance, big turnovers, and line-extending shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Virus for your bag, this Cosmic Neutron run is a great place to start.
Cosmic Neutron Plastic
Cosmic Neutron is the premium Neutron blend enhanced with a plethora of bright color swirls, so no two discs look quite the same. Under the swirls, it's the same plastic, sharing the durability of Neutron and Proton, so your Virus holds its flight for a long time. The unique color blends also make it a favorite for custom stamping. The Virus is also available in Eclipse, Fission, Neutron and Particle Glow Proton.
The Mold
The Virus is a 21.1 cm distance driver with an 18.5 mm rim. It is exceptionally understable, with glide and responsive understability that keep it in the air. Power throwers can flex huge turnover shots with a straight, forward fade, while average throwers can extend and shape lines using its turn and gentle fade. Compared to the MVP lineup, it resembles a worn-in MVP Impulse.
Stability
The Virus is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3.5 | Lots of turn to the right (RHBH), built for rollers and big turnovers. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
