Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-PT-FIR (REF364-64)
Description
The Axiom Proton Fireball distance driver is Axiom's overstable 9-speed utility driver, molded in Proton 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 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 Fireball is also available in Fission, Neutron, Particle Eclipse and Plasma.
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. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Fireball good for beginners?

The Axiom Thrill (11/4/0/3.5) is Axiom's faster 11-speed with the same 3.5 fade.
