[Axiom] Pyro

[ILUVSMGS18]

Bump!

Can someone please post a good profile picture for me? I'm struggling to bond with the Wasp/Ghost/premium Roc crew and was thinking maybe this was similar...can anyone compare those mentioned to a Pyro? EDIT: I used to like the Sentinel FWIW

Thanks in advance.

I got one in my Gyropalooza box this year and have a Wasp for reference, gives me good reason to try the macro mode on my phones camera. Wasp is Pink, Pyro is a Sparkle Red Prism/Blue Core.

Here we go:

Pyro will be more overstable than a champ roc.

It's been forever since I've thrown one, but the pyro kinda reminds me of the Discraft Hornet. Fast and overstable, not meathook overstable though. You can nut up on it like a driver and it'll really straighten out with a reliable fade.

It doesn't look nearly overstable as it is when Simon throws it in videos.

Nice! I have two I'm getting to throw for the first ti.e this weekend.

Pyro is there in the class with the Hornet for sure. Even more so the Gila. Some glide for how beefy it is. Super workable. I toyed with it a hot minute between a Beefy Demon and a Buzzz. Then I had a demon beat in enough for the slot. I imagine a beat pyro could do some amazing stuff.

Let's try this again:

Played a round with a dude that had one of the prism, it was sexy. Won't this overlap with your Drones?

The Pyro is one of my favorite gyro molds. I don't really bag it just because I seldom bag an overstable mid. It does occasionally make the bag depending on the course, the wind, and my mood.

I'm thinking pre-beat Drone with a bit more distance potential. I miss Banshees though I haven't bagged them in years, Firebirds and Xcals are definitely more overstable and faster (which I bag). I've also migrated away from Buzzz' and have been on the Comet train so Pyros may pair nicely with them. I like to carry a small bag these days more often than not and may get more utility out of a Pyro than with a Drone. Some rounds they get double digit shots and other times collect dust.

I've never seen a Pyro fly until Simon threw them in the Florida video and I was instantly intrigued. Hell I've never really read discussion about them until now either, nor seen one in person until my package arrived.

I also haven't bought plastic in forever and felt the need to add something to my collection

I could see pyros and comets playing well. Decent gap in between, but if they made a fission pyro to beat on and a good domey MJ Comet and you could be set.
Or a lot a reactor in between em

I went (small bag) beat Icon Clutch, worn Z Buzzz, beat Champ Roadrunner for the more understable side of my bag today. I think I'm going to carry both the Buzzz and Comet in my bigger bags moving forward, kinda forgot *just* how much I love throwing a Buzzz until today.

PLH on both my Pyros are the same I'd say, yellow Proton has a hair of a shoulder and the Neutron is FLAT. Purchased weights of 174 though I haven't scaled either yet. I'm quite the, "flight numbers are overrated and merely general guidelines" but man 0/2.5 feels dishonest. They're not Deflector overstable but these had zero turn on a flat full power rip and the fade was prominant. Indistinguishable flights between the two so it was nice for repetition being able to throw both - got 36 holes in.

I didn't trust them on BH anhyzers nearly as much as a Drone but that's an unfair comparison since I've bagged them for so long. Oddly enough I dialed in FH flex shots almost immediately and even when missing my target I wasn't far off. Had a handful of skip shots on hardpack with great results and even got a few approach spike hyzers in. After today I definitely need to bring Drones along side them to do a direct comparsion...my guess is they'll coexist but that decision will take some time. One thing I noticed without trying is I doubt I'll enjoy throwing them overhand which is a shot I rarely though consistently throw with a Drone. Same with the scoober/thumber skip/whatever you call it...I get the feeling these won't like flying upside down.

Overall I had a pretty poor 36 holes! Still felt great to get out for the first time since Thanksgiving.

Definitely one of my favorite molds. It started out a lot like my current favorite mold of all time, the Volt. Wasn't sure about it at first, but slowly grew on me until I was starting to ignore most of my other molds in that speed class.

Bump.... looking for a mid to slot between a Hex and a Quake and the Reactor isn't as HSS as I'd like. Can anyone compare a Pyro directly with a Quake?
