The Axiom Crave is a straight-flying fairway driver that can be used by players of any skill level. It features a slightly contoured wing that makes it fly similarly to a more seasoned overstable disc, making for an overall very straight driver. Craves are offered in a variety of plastics, all with slightly different flights: Fission Craves tend to turn more, Neutron and Proton Craves seem to fade more, and Plasma Craves fit right in the middle. This variation makes the Crave a popular choice for those looking to minimize molds in their bag. The Crave, released in 2014, was the first Axiom driver to hit the market and an instantaneous success. It continues to be one of the most popular fairway options for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players due to its reliable flight, and almost all MVP-sponsored players have at least one in their bag. Being as popular a disc as it is, there are some highly collectible runs of the Crave, including Watermelon Craves and older Halloween stamp Craves. It has also been the PDGA member disc several times and was featured in the 2024 Space Race set.
