Choose it for
Straight power drives. Axiom says it is made for long, straight, high-power shots with a forward-pushing fade, and calls it a more stable MVP Photon.
Choose something else if…
You want a driver that turns over. Axiom says the Defy resists turnover even at high power.
What the Defy flight numbers mean
Turn -1 and fade 3 resist turnover even at high power. Axiom says throwers who do not fully power it still get a usable long, overstable flight.
