Axiom Disc Golf Proton Vanish Distance Driver 11/5/-3/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Proton Vanish distance driver is Axiom's understable, versatile 11-speed distance driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for average-power players who want straight distance and power players who want controlled turnovers, and it's at its best on straight drives and controlled turnovers. If you're shopping for a dependable Vanish 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 Vanish is also available in Eclipse, Fission and Neutron.
The Mold
The Vanish is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 21 mm rim. It excels at versatility, with extremely workable straight and controlled turnover shots on a variety of release angles. Average-power throwers get straight-to-understable flights in most conditions, plus a long-range bomber in slight headwinds. High-power throwers may prefer it for tailwinds or hyzer-flip shots.
Stability
The Vanish is 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 | 11 | 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 | -3 | 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. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Vanish good for beginners?
It can be. MVP says average-power throwers get straight-to-understable flights from the Vanish in most conditions.
Is the Axiom Vanish overstable?
No. The Vanish is understable, rated 11/5/-3/2. Its 3 turn makes it a better fit for turnovers and hyzer-flips than hard fades.

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 Vanish?
The MVP Wave (11/5/-2/2) is a slightly less understable 11-speed.
