FIREBALL Proton Distance Driver

Description

One of the best overstable hybrids on the market, the Fireball has a decent amount of forward push before it gets that overstable finish. This mold can handle any headwind and will hyzer every time you throw it. While not as stable as the Motion or the Flare, the Fireball still hyzer plenty and is perfect for those touchy forehand shots. The mold has a really good feel and is generally on the flatter end of the spectrum. The consistency in these discs is amazing and you will almost always get the exact disc you are looking for. The Plasma Fireball is great for those that want a flat and overstable disc.

Here is what Axiom says about the mold: “The Fireball is overstable and wind-resistant like the MVP Motion but has an overall straighter and longer flight profile. The Fireball has a longer forward push during its early stage of fade, whereas the Motion would have begun a long gradual fade. At the end of its flight, the Fireball will drop later and more abruptly than the Motion.”

FLIGHT CHART

The defining characteristic of the Fireball’s flight is its wind and power resistance. This coupled with a delayed and focused fade make the Fireball a unique addition to the GYRO® bag. It can function as a longer-pushing Motion, or a more overstable Tesla.

High power throwers will get a fairly turn-free high speed stage that seems to hold a bit longer before fading, making the Fireball useful for long pan-outs, straight power shots, and sweeping hyzers. Average power throwers will get significant headwind resistance and see more easily workable lines than with the Motion.

The Fireball is equally suited to backhands and forehands. Its high speed stability allows for line-locking power shots, and its late fade helps range the disc for optimal course placement.
