Overview

The Proton Virus from Axiom Discs is an understable distance driver designed to blend glide with a gentle turn, helping players shape lines without overcomplicating their throw. Weighing between 165 and 170 grams, this disc offers a balanced feel in hand and a bright translucent look in Proton plastic.

Who benefits and how to use

Power throwers may capitalize on turnover shots while keeping the line straight into the finish, and intermediate players can extend lines by controlling the turn and finish. Use the Virus for longer tunnel shots, gentle hyzer-flip plays, and controlled fades on doglegs. Experiment with height, release angle, and speed to tune the arc for different courses.

On-course ideas

Pair the Virus with open fairways to maximize distance, then switch to wooded shots where a predictable glide helps you maintain form through gusts and variable light. The combination of understability and consistent fade can support steady progression in accuracy and distance control.
