The Axiom Discs Vanish is a 11-speed understable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 11 / 5 / -3 / 2, it is most often described as suited for long hyzer-flip drives that stand up and ride forward, tailwind distance bombs.
Overview
The Axiom Vanish is an understable 11-speed distance driver with an 11/5/-3/2 flight.[1][3] As a 21 mm class GYRO overmold driver, it was designed to sit at a midpoint of stability between two MVP+Disc+Sports">MVP Disc Sports models, the Wave and the Orbital.[1] Its defining trait is responsiveness to power: it flies straight-to-understable for average arms and turns over readily for high-power throwers, who often use hyzer releases or tailwinds to hold the line.[1][3]
Flight characteristics
Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.
Recommended uses
The Vanish is at its best on hyzer-flip drives, long turnovers, and tailwind distance shots, where its early turn and gentle fade produce easy, controllable distance.[1][3] Lighter weights give developing arms accessible range and an easier flip.[3] It is offered in Axiom's Neutron, Proton, Plasma, and glow Eclipse blends, all built on the GYRO overmold construction shared across the MVP family.[1]
Best for:
- Long hyzer-flip drives that stand up and ride forward
- Tailwind distance bombs
- Sweeping right-finishing turnover lines (RHBH)
- Distance rollers
Community notes — how players actually use this disc
Plastics & variants
The Vanish is available in the following plastic blends from Axiom Discs:[1]
Neutron, Proton, Plasma, Eclipse
Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.
History
The Vanish was PDGA-approved on April 6, 2016, certification number 16-30.[2] It is an Axiom+Discs">Axiom Discs release — Axiom is part of the MVP+Disc+Sports">MVP Disc Sports family of brands and uses the same two-material GYRO overmold construction.[1] PDGA records list the Vanish at 21.1 cm in diameter with a 2.2 cm rim and a maximum weight of 175.1 g, placing it in MVP's 21 mm distance-driver class.[2] It has remained one of Axiom's most popular understable distance drivers, valued for turning a long anhyzer or hyzer-flip into reliable, repeatable distance.[1]
