Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-HW24-PYR (REF1998-14)
Description
Originally designed as functional decoration for masonry, the gargoyle later became a symbol to ward off evil spirits. However, don’t let that fool you - these grotesque figures can take on a life of their own, becoming the very thing they’re meant to keep away. As part of our Tour of Terror, Mike Inscho brings this waiting horror to the first release of the Fission Pyro! While maintaining the overstable characteristics the Pyro is known for, the Fission Pyro has the GYRO enhanced flight that only Fission can provide - making it the first Pyro to not be in Prism Plastic!
The Axiom Fission Pyro midrange is Axiom's overstable midrange and an Eagle McMahon favorite, molded in Fission plastic. It's built for players who need a dependable fade on approaches and in the wind, and it's at its best on overstable approaches, headwind mid shots, and forehands. This listing is the Halloween 2024 release of the Pyro, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
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 Pyro. The Pyro is also available in Prism Neutron, Prism Plasma, Prism Proton and Prism Proton Soft.
The Mold
The Pyro is a 21.5 cm midrange with a 14.5 mm rim. It is known for its overstable characteristics and is a favorite of Eagle McMahon. It's the midrange to reach for when you need a shot that dependably fades, whether you're fighting wind or approaching from a tricky angle.
Stability
The Pyro is 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Pyro good for beginners?
It's better as a second midrange. Its overstability gives a strong, dependable fade that newer players may find hard to keep straight.
Is the Axiom Pyro overstable?
Yes. The Pyro is overstable, rated 5/4/0/2.5, so it resists turning over and finishes with a dependable fade.
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.
Is the Fission Pyro different?
MVP says the Fission Pyro is a touch less stable than normal, giving a further pushing flight that still dependably fades.
What disc is similar to the Axiom Pyro?
The Axiom Balance (5/5/0/2) is a little less overstable. MVP places it between the Pyro and the MVP Reactor.
How far does the Axiom Pyro fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 275 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
