Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-OTB25-DEFY (REF2137-4)
Description
The Axiom Prism Proton Soft Defy distance driver is Axiom's stable-overstable, line-locking distance driver, molded in Prism Proton Soft 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. This listing is the OTB Open 2025 Champions Cup release of the Defy, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Prism Proton Soft Plastic
Prism Proton Soft is a softer version of Axiom's durable candy-color Prism material, which pairs a Proton rim with variable core materials. It shares Proton's durability with excellent grip, control, and bright translucent candy colors.
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.
