The Axiom Fireball is a very overstable 9-speed disc golf driver that can perform a variety of functions in your bag! Along with the similarity in name, the Fireball is also very similar to the Firebird in flight!Ā
The serious overstability of this disc makes it perfect for powerful sidearm players. This flat-topped bad boy can handle all the off-axis torque you're ready to give it!Ā
The Fireball is commonly used for flex shots, skip shots, meathooks, and forehand rollers. It can also be thrown backhand for the same kind of shots, except backhand rollers of course!
This video review of the Axiom Fireball is a great demonstration of this disc's epic potential! Shoutout to Flippy James for another awesome video!Ā

Flight Path Chart
Here's an Axiom Fireball flight chart to give you a basic idea of how it's going to to fly!
Plastics
Proton: Highly durable and translucent. Proton Fireballs may be a little more stable than Neutron, and a little less than Plasma. You can read ourĀ Proton Plastic Review to learn more.
Plasma: Generally the most overstable Axiom Fireball you'll find. This plastic is also durable, and has a beautiful metallic sheen to it! Read a full MVP Plasma Review here.
Neutron: Grippy and durable these Fireballs are accurate to flight numbers. You can read ourĀ Neutron plastic review for more information.
Fission: This is MVP's microbubble plastic. With this technology you can get lighter discs, producing a less overstable flight. Refer to the video review above to see one in action. You can learn more about this amazing plastic in our Fission plastic review.
Beginner:Ā Steer clear of the Fireball if you are new to the sport of disc golf! This is an advanced-level disc. Rather get something slower like a putter or a mid. Also, aim for something understable and with high glide.
Intermediate: If you looking for a great utility disc this may just be the one! You can use it for a variety of special shots that'll save the day when you're in a pinch. It may be just a little too overstable for you to use as your primary forehand driver.
Advanced:Ā This disc is perfect for players with advanced forehand power! You can trust in the overstability to keep you on the fairway, or out of OB, every time.
