Axiom Disc Golf Proton Mayhem Distance Driver 13/5/-1.5/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Proton Mayhem distance driver is Axiom's straight-stable 13-speed distance driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for advanced and expert throwers who want a workhorse high-speed driver, and it's at its best on long, straight high-speed drives. If you're shopping for a dependable Mayhem 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 Mayhem is also available in Neutron and Plasma.
The Mold
The Mayhem is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 23 mm rim. It has a responsive straight-stable profile and plenty of speed, making it a perfect workhorse driver for advanced and expert throwers. Like MVP's 23mm class, it has a pronounced dome to promote distance-covering glide. It's best compared to a beat MVP Octane.
Stability
The Mayhem 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's built for advanced and expert throwers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1.5 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
