Axiom Disc Golf Plasma Fireball Distance Driver 9/3.5/0/3.5 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Plasma Fireball distance driver is Axiom's overstable 9-speed utility driver, molded in Plasma plastic. It's built for forehand throwers and anyone who needs a disc that has to fade, and it's at its best on power forehands, wind-fighting backhands, and hard fades. If you're shopping for a dependable Fireball for your bag, this Plasma run is a great place to start.
Plasma Plastic
Plasma is an advanced disc golf polymer with a metallic sheen on the core and color-shift tones in select colors. It's a semi-gummy, grippy, flexible blend that's also highly durable, so your Fireball holds its flight for a long time. Choose Plasma if you want premium durability with a little more grip and flex than Neutron or Proton. The Fireball is also available in Fission, Neutron, Particle Eclipse and Proton.
The Mold
The Fireball is a 21.1 cm distance driver with an 18.5 mm rim. It is a staple in GYRO bags for a reason. Whether you're looking for power forehands, wind-fighting backhands, or a disc that simply has to fade, it delivers with dependable torque resistance and a strong finish.
Stability
The Fireball 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 | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 3.5 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3.5 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
