Description
The Axiom Defy is now available in our industry-leading Eclipse plastic all year!

Defy headwinds and the darkness with the Eclipse Defy!
The Axiom Eclipse Defy distance driver is Axiom's stable-overstable, line-locking distance driver, molded in Eclipse plastic. It's built for power throwers who need a driver that won't turn away from its line, and it's at its best on long, straight power drives with a forward-finishing fade. If you're shopping for a dependable Defy 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 Defy 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 Mold
The Defy is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 21 mm rim. It flies straight with a nice bite of overstability at the end, and MVP describes it as a more stable MVP Photon or a longer Axiom Clash. It shows remarkable resistance to turnover even at high power. Players seeking a long, straight power driver will appreciate its line-locking tendencies, and throwers who aren't fully powering it still get a highly usable long overstable disc.
Stability
The Defy is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.

| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Defy good for beginners?
It's better as a second driver. Players who aren't fully powering the Defy still get a usable overstable disc, but it will fade early.
Is the Axiom Defy overstable?
Yes. The Defy is stable-to-overstable, rated 11/5/-1/3, so it resists turning over and finishes with a dependable fade.
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 Defy?
The MVP Photon (11/5/-0.5/2.5) is a little less stable. MVP describes the Defy as a more stable Photon.
How far does the Axiom Defy fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 375 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
