SKU: DG-AXM-P-INS (REF665-182)
Description
The Axiom Proton Insanity distance driver is Axiom's stable-to-understable 9-speed distance driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for average-power players who want straight distance and power players who want easy flips and turnovers, and it's at its best on straight distance drives, flip-ups, and turnovers. If you're shopping for a dependable Insanity 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 Insanity is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse, Fission and Neutron.
The Mold
The Insanity is a 21.1 cm distance driver with an 18.5 mm rim. It is best described as a worn-in MVP Inertia, with a little more high-speed turn and a diminished fade. Its softened profile mimics a more worn-in disc. Average-power throwers get a remarkably straight distance driver, while high-power throwers can execute precise flip and turnover lines with ease.
Stability
The Insanity is stable-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
