Description
By far one of the most requested discs by GYROnauts around the world, the Eclipse Crave has officially returned as a stock release! Maintaining the smooth hand feel, and straight, controllable flight that the Crave is known for, the Eclipse Crave is here to give your bag a glow up. High power players will continue to find the Crave to be an incredibly workable disc, perfect for nearly any shot shape, and lower power players will get a nice straight to slightly understable flight with a forward pushing fade. Whether you’re carving lines in the daylight or cruising through the course during an evening round, reach for the Eclipse Crave when you need a dependable, trustworthy fairway driver!
The Axiom Eclipse Crave fairway driver is Axiom's most popular fairway driver and the workhorse of the lineup, molded in Eclipse 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. If you're shopping for a dependable Crave for your bag, this Eclipse run is a great place to start.
Eclipse Glow Plastic
Eclipse is the premium glow plastic, built with the ultra-bright Glow Core 2.0 for visibility day or night. It's highly durable, so your Crave will have a long, consistent life, and it's a top pick for glow rounds and evening leagues. MVP notes that Eclipse offers an alternate flight compared to its other premium plastics, so it may fly a little differently than the same mold in Neutron or Proton. The Crave is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Fission, Neutron and Plasma.
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. 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 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

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/-1/1, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Eclipse and Neutron plastic?
Eclipse is a durable premium glow plastic for night rounds, and it can fly a little differently. Neutron is the opaque flagship blend with the widest color selection.
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.
