The Axis sees more action than any other disc in my bag besides for putters. I do not necessarily trust it when approaching and I am looking for more touch than distance, in which case I use the Anode, but I have been using the Axis for shots I normally used a fairway driver for. They love to be powered up and remain completely straight from start to finish. They are hard to flip or turn, but if you get them on an anhyzer line they will hold it without burning into the ground or trying to fight out of it too early.
I have now completely removed drivers out of my small bag for numerous courses and there are a few more courses where I might throw in a Sword or King for just a handful of shots. At Blue Ribbon Pines I can think of only seven drives out of twenty-seven where I need to use a driver
