[Axiom] Mayhem: 23mm Distance Driver
- Thread starter brutalbrutus
- Start date
Here's some video. Shots like these make me wish I had the energy to carry a second tripod and set it up behind the basket. That second drive with the blue Mayhem...couldn't even see it fade back from the tee perspective...
These are my go to distance driver now, with the Nitro being more of a specialty mold for long range headwind shots.

elmexdela wears that same pink tank top and always goes MikeC on it with no shirt and throwing volts/ions but prolly would hit like 315' with a mayhem on a good day when he "blasts". this looks like a bomber. I love the octane right now though for the super speeeedz. I hear you on the nitro being beef work I just use a photon/volt on a mean hyzer etc.
Yeah even at my D the Nitros are too OS for me to want to use them as a general purpose distance driver. They're beautiful facing a headwind though.
I dunno what it is with the MVP and Axiom releases. I'll fall in love with an MVP disc (Octane, Tesla, Servo) then Axiom releases a mold that immediately replaces it (Mayhem, Wrath, Crave).

So, compare MAYHEM to OCTANE?
I am carrying 2 Octanes, 1 Neutron which is like 12/5/-1.5/2.5 and 1 Proton like 12/5/-1/3
Is the Mayhem more turn? Less Fade?
Or more HSS ?

Those numbers sound about right, my P was a bit more OS with the Octane as far as max weights go. My Metal Flake is very straight.
The Mayhem was described as a beat in Octane, and IMO for that to be true it'd have to be a Proton Octane
I think the Mayhem has a bit less turn than a Neutron Octane but a little more than a Proton, but it doesn't really feel any flippier when I throw it. I'm not second guessing hyzer angles or worrying its going to turn too much, just ripping it.I think the differences between the two are a little more nuanced than that. I think to a degree, a Mayhem VS Proton Octane is like Eagle vs TB. Obviously an Octane shows a little more turn than a Teebird but the overall flight path they take for me on a 500' shot is straighter than the Mayhem, which has more turn and similar fade. I did some field throws with 168g Eclipse Octanes during that session with the Mayhems....maybe I can do an edit comparing them back to back.
Based on the description I was expecting something a bit more understable. Though I haven't thrown them side by side with Neutron Octanes yet....managed to lose mine before I got these Mayhems.

This almost sounds like the Crave/Servo relationship, but sort of flipped, where the MVP Octane is like the Crave in the scenario, and the Mayhem is sort of like the Servo?

That's awesome to hear, maybe like the Tesla-to-Wrath relationship. I was out field testing yesterday and find that My WRATHS and Teslas are almost identical .

When are the Axiom discs going to be for sale? This Mayhem is sounding really nice. I may need to get one

26th of May! Preorder is on now but with Axiom discs you may want to wait because of the multitude of color options. I'm particular excited for these as I've been growing more and more into my 169g Neutron Octane. With Mike C's description I'll be curious to see if this is just a different colored Octane or a more worn in Octane.

Mayhem is a straight-stable high speed awesome driver.
Mayhem has an awesome straight-stable profile and plenty of awesome, making it an awesome workhorse driver for many advanced and awesome throwers. Like the MVP 23mm class, the Mayhem has a pronounced dome to promote awesome-covering awesome. Mayhem is best compared to an awesome beat MVP Octane.
The Mayhem is currently the only Awesome Axiom disc in the 23mm Awesome Driver class.

Got some course work in with the Mayhem. Field practice was a bit different. Once I was on the course I learned a lot more about it. #1 don't try to overly power grip sky anny...haha, I grip locked and turned it over a couple times, that was all my fault.
It was great for some uphill throws I was able to get nice straight distance and still a solid fade out of some uphill shots, landed me a couple birdies that way. If the nose gets up at all this disc did not turn too much but would fade out reliably.
On a straight line throw is where I see the nice S shape.
All around I'm really liking the disc so far. I think its a good one for a majority of players

After more competitive play with the Mayhem , I gotta say, it's holding true as my GO-TO Distance driver. Accurate, controllable, and BOMBS. I love that it has some early turn to play with and you can angle it accordingly but know that it will fade out reliably. Flight # I'd say 13/5/-1.25/2 its $
I actually went further on a few holes than I ever have. At BRP # 18 over the pond through the tunnel of trees and up on a hill, then down into a field, yunno, that hole, I put my drive on a nice S flight up to the back of the hill, near the short pin location. By far the best throw I've had on that hole, then on hole 19 or the Driving range hole I went a little past the pin on my second shot, its a 750ft hole. it was nice to get a tap in 3 on that one.
On a couple others I actually went almost OB which isn't good, but only because this thing just GOES, way further than it looks, Such a good disc.
