The Panic is a very overstable Axiom distance driver rated 13/4/-0.5/3. Axiom calls it the overstable monster of its 23 mm class, built for headwinds, torqued sidearm throws, hyzer lines and steep anhyzer flex shots. Axiom itself warns that it flies quite overstable even for strong arms and that beginners do better with an overstable driver from a slower class.

For players who can get it up to speed, it is a wind and forehand tool rather than a distance driver for everyday lines. Several MVP team players list it in their bags on Axiom's site.

The PDGA approved the Panic on 3 April 2017 (17-45), shortly before the Mayhem and Tenacity filled out the 23 mm class. On our comparison table its nearest match is the MVP Nitro.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
