When I need max distance, I pull out my Axiom Mayhem, because it bombs. Axiom gives it flight ratings 13/5/-1.5/2, which sounds about right to me.
I throw it on a slight hyzer release and watch it go fast and far. It will hold a line for a long run, with great glide and a bit of turn, and then it fights back with a solid fade. It is consistently my furthest flying disc. I’ve thrown Terns, Shrykes, and DDX’s, but the Mayhem is the one I finally settled on. It flies with a line like a Shryke and more stability than a DDX, but not so much that it fades out too soon.
In a medium headwind, the Mayhem will turn and burn, but it can handle some wind if you give more hyzer and/or height. It also works well for a high standstill hyzer bomb at shorter range, due to it’s great fade and fast speed.
Another thing I like about it is the great variety of colour combos offered by Axiom.
Then there’s the name itself – I like telling fellow disc golfers the name before I throw it – “Time for a little Mayhem!” and watching their reactions. It sounds like something crazy might happen when I throw it, and it gives me confidence to go for it.
I’ve thrown it in both Neutron and Proton plastic, and while I like both, the Neutron wins for me. I haven’t tried Plasma but can only imagine the bonus glide that it would give.
If you’re looking for fast distance driver that holds a line, then you need some Mayhem in your life.
You can pick one out right here at Faithful Flight.
