Axiom Trance Understable Fairway Driver
The Axiom Trance is an understable 8-speed. It was released for the first time in MVP's 2023 OTB Open drop! It's caused quite a stir, and we can't wait until these are more readily available!
The Trance is most suited to hyzer flips and buttery smooth turnovers! It's a dream come true if you're in the woods, or if you don't have a marvelous sidearm game!Ā
One of the best things about the Axiom Trance is that it's no overly understable. It's just enough to produce a consistent and controllable turn!
Players of all skill levels will fall in Love with the Trance. Stay tuned for the next release, you don't want to miss out again!Ā
Here's what MVP Disc Sports has to say about the Trance:
Marm.O.Set brings the beat with art that will have you hypnotized throw after throw, and always wanting an encore. The Trance ā debuting here in Prism Neutron plastic ā is a reliable, slightly understable fairway driver that fits a really useful niche in Axiomās lineup at a workable 8 | 5 | -2 | 1. Lower power players will have found their ideal fairway driver for straight-to-fade flights, and higher power players will find this to be a mesmerizing hyzer-flip dream. Fall into your own groove with the 2024 OTB Open Prism Neutron Trance!
In this video review of the Axiom Trance Chasin Chains compares it to the Discmania Essence, another super popular disc.

Skill recommendations
Beginner:Ā If you've spent a little time working on your form and power levels with putters and mids, you're ready to move up a step. The Trance is a great choice as it is still a manageable speed, it's glidey, and it's understable!
Intermediate:Ā This will be a versatile go-to in your bag if you're an intermediate-level player. You'll be able to use the Trance for dead straight hyzer flips and long turnovers!
Advanced:Ā If you're an advanced player looking for a turnover disc the Axiom Trance is a great choice! It's not as understable as many other turnover fairway drivers, meaning that it won't just turn and burn when thrown hard!Ā
