Tenacity

4.8(87)
Distance Driver
The Tenacity is an understable Axiom distance driver rated 13/5/-2.5/2. Axiom calls it the understable bomber of its 23 mm class and compares it to a worn MVP Catalyst: strong throwers can bend it into long anhyzer and turnover lines, while average and developing arms get a usable straight flight that fades at the end. Players who need a wind-fighting driver should pick something more overstable. Axiom says the name fits because it fights to stay in the air, though its fade shows more as less power goes in. Before release, slower-armed players on Disc Golf Course Review were drawn to it for exactly that worn-in character. The PDGA approved the Tenacity on 13 April 2017 (17-49), the same day as the Mayhem. On our comparison table its nearest match is the Discmania Majesty.

4.887 reviews from 5 stores and Try Discs members

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.

    I really like this disc. I got a proton lab 2nd one from the trash panda holiday disc swap which I'm assuming was from a gyropalooza box before, and I can't find any other proton tenacities for sale, so I wish they would make proton ones more available.
