Axiom Disc Golf Prism Proton Pyro Midrange Driver 5/4/0/2.5 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Prism Proton Pyro midrange is Axiom's overstable midrange and an Eagle McMahon favorite, molded in Prism Proton 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. If you're shopping for a dependable Pyro for your bag, this Prism Proton run is a great place to start.
Prism Proton Plastic
Prism is Axiom's durable candy-color material, pairing a Proton rim with variable core materials. Prism Proton shares the durability of Proton and offers excellent grip and control, with bright translucent candy colors that make your Pyro pop. The Pyro is also available in Fission, Prism Neutron, Prism Plasma 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

|---|---|---|
| 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 Prism Proton and Proton plastic?
Prism Proton pairs a Proton rim with a variable core for a candy-color look. Durability is the same as Proton.
