Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-P-CRV (REF1072-182)
Description
The Axiom Proton Crave fairway driver is Axiom's most popular fairway driver and the workhorse of the lineup, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players of all skill levels who want controllable, straight fairway drives, and it's at its best on straight fairway drives and controlled placement shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Crave for your bag, this Proton run is a great place to start.
Proton Plastic
Proton is the premium look-and-durability blend: a translucent core with vibrant candy colors, paired with Axiom's vibrant color GYRO rims. It's built for high durability and a long, consistent life, and it's designed to withstand the roughest conditions. Proton has similar durability to Neutron with slightly more grip, and the translucent core looks great with an LED light for night rounds. The Crave is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse, Fission and Neutron.
The Mold
The Crave is a 21.1 cm fairway driver with a 16.5 mm rim. It has proven time and again why it's a mainstay in bags around the world. Compared to MVP drivers, it's like a seasoned MVP Servo, with a popular "worn workhorse-stable" feel created by subtle wing contours that also feel great in the hand. Its stability, range of weights, and easy throw make it a GYRO staple.
Stability
The Crave is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 6.5 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Crave good for beginners?
Yes. MVP calls the Crave easy to throw, and its controllable straight flight makes it a great first fairway driver.
Is the Axiom Crave overstable?
Not really. The Crave is stable, rated 6.5/5/-1/1, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Proton and Neutron plastic?
Proton is translucent with slightly more grip, while Neutron is opaque. Both are highly durable and hold their flight for a long time.
What disc is similar to the Axiom Crave?
The MVP Servo (6.5/5/-1/2) is the closest match. MVP compares the Crave to a seasoned Servo.
How far does the Axiom Crave fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 300 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
