The Trance is an Axiom driver rated 8/5/-2/1, listed here as a control driver and sold by Axiom as a fairway driver. With a -2 turn and a light fade it suits newer players looking for straight distance at moderate speed, and stronger arms who want easy turnover lines. It is not a headwind disc, and players who want a firm fade at the end should look elsewhere. Axiom developed it as an accessible fairway driver and labels its flight neutral. It began as a special edition for the 2023 OTB Open, returned for the 2024 OTB Open, and then became a stock disc in Prism Neutron. Jeff Faes has a 2026 Team Series Prism Neutron Trance. The PDGA approved the Trance on 6 June 2022 (22-96). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Discmania Essence and the Doomsday Discs Blackout.

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.
