The Axiom Wrath is a 9-speed slightly overstable control driver. With published flight numbers of 9 / 4.5 / -0.5 / 2, it is most often described as suited for long hyzer-flex lines that flex out and return, forehand approaches inside 300 feet.

Overview

The Axiom Wrath is a stable-overstable driver rated 9/4.5/-0.5/2.[1] Axiom places it in the 18.5 mm distance-driver class as a more turn-resistant complement to the Insanity: where the Insanity mimics a broken-in Inertia, the Wrath brings a worn-in flavor to the Tesla flight profile.[1] It was PDGA-approved on December 19, 2014 under certification number 14-97, with a 21.1 cm diameter, 1.4 cm height and a 175.1 g maximum weight.[2] One classification split is worth knowing about: Axiom lists the Wrath as a distance driver, while many retailers sell it as a fairway driver.[1][4]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

Axiom's own guidance splits by arm speed: power throwers can turn the Wrath on command to stretch out and shape distance lines, while average throwers get useful resistance for headwinds and fading lines, with the low-speed fade enough to range a shot and rein in a turnover.[1] In practice that makes it a control driver for long hyzer-flex lines, forehand approaches inside 300 feet, and headwind tee shots where a straighter 9-speed would flip. Reviewers consistently note that the Wrath resists turn more than its -0.5 rating implies, particularly at high power.[3]

Best for:

  • Long hyzer-flex lines that flex out and return
  • Forehand approaches inside 300 feet
  • Headwind tee shots where a straighter 9-speed would flip
  • Shaped distance lines for power throwers who need turn resistance

Plastics & variants

The Wrath is available in the following plastic blends from Axiom:[1]

Neutron, Proton

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The Wrath was PDGA-approved on December 19, 2014 under certification number 14-97.[2] Axiom is the sister brand of MVP Disc Sports, and like every MVP-network driver the Wrath is built on the GYRO overmold — a denser outer rim molded around a lighter inner core.[1] On Axiom's own stability ladder for the 18.5 mm distance-driver class the mold sits between the Fireball and the Insanity, making it the second-most overstable of the four discs in that group (Fireball, Wrath, Insanity, Virus).[1] Axiom rates the Wrath across a wide 155 g to 175 g weight range, and the mold remains in the current lineup in Neutron and Proton blends.[1][4]
